Maiden Hell
This review is for the PlayStation 5 version

This game caused me physical pain.

It was a fucking chore. The combat was repetitive as fuck, the design levels were boring and the dialogues seem to never end. Characters designs were ok and the yuri romance was cute. But it also has some inapproiate content that didn't needed to be there. Why do we need to see the panties of the clearly underaged protagonist every time we evade? This isn't a 'ecchi' game like Senran Kagura or Gal Gun!

Yo can read my full review in spanish in GamerFocus. I didn't liked it.

Ah yes... the physical pain part. I was determined to finish it even when the gameplay and design were so bad that I couldn't see the attacks from the final boss. After a few hours, I let go the controller and my hand was aching.

Anyway, I defeated the motherfucker and saved Japan. Whatever.

Samurai Maiden Review.
This review is for the PC (Microsoft Windows) version

The gaming experience I had with this game was similar to the one I had with Senran Kagura, although I liked this one less.

The gameplay, despite being fun, is only mediocre and does the minimum. It is quite simplistic; you start with some basic attacks and unlock abilities as you increase your intimacy with the protagonists through side quests. The number of abilities you unlock is much lower than I would have liked, considering you only control one character. The secondary abilities of your partners, with the exception of Komimi, are somewhat horrible, especially Iyo's – the way it functions is somewhat sluggish and not very useful. They can also be canceled if these characters take a hit in the field, which is very likely, thus wasting their skill. One thing that disappointed me in the game was the lack of more character customization options. I don't understand how a game that focuses on fan service has fewer customization options than, for example, a Tales of game.

Despite the characters being okay, the writing in this game is awful, and the dialogues are very long within a completely uninteresting plot. In the end, I had to skip the cutscenes …

Not a highly recommended game unless you really want to play something as a substitute for Senran Kagura.

Just started this one. Looks like a less 'echii' version of Senran Kagura. First couple of hours were really dumb, but kinda fun.
