While the story scenes are plentiful and feature their original Japanese voice acting with subtitles, the basic ideas covered means you won’t really be playing this game for the girl’s development. All of these arcs are fairly basic but at least the girls are given something that draws them together as friends as they learn from their interactions, with the main girl Sayuri defined more by her unflinching trust and confidence that helps the other girls to start to look inwards. While the girls await rescue and struggle to survive, the personal trials involve things like the soft-spoken Risa needing to overcome her timidity and cowardice to protect her friends, the airheaded Mayaya has to overcome her lack of empathy, serious and focused Enami struggles to break out of her all business mindset, and the idol Rei needs to be willing to open up to others rather than protect her cultivated image.
HIGH SCHOOL ZOMBIE HUNTER FULL
We do at least get some idea on where the zombies are coming from even if it doesn’t divulge the full details of how the outbreak works, but the bigger focus is on the main characters as their character flaws all emerge during the zombie invasion. The school the five girls are attending seems to teach not only combat but proper firearm use, and when the zombies do start appearing, the girls are all acknowledged as excellent in their wide range of skills perfect for such a situation. One big issue with how School Girl/Zombie Hunter tells its story is the fact it throws you in so quickly without establishing much of anything. In fact, some of its story elements are just borrowed without providing important details on them, but what School Girl/Zombie Hunter mainly does is take a look at five high school girls as they need to survive their school being overrun with zombies with the same focus on cuteness and creepiness being the two halves of this game’s tone.
HIGH SCHOOL ZOMBIE HUNTER SERIES
Juxtaposing attractive young woman with over the top blood and gore is the main idea of the Onechanbara series where the heroine is a bikini-clad cowgirl who slices her way through scores of zombies, but while SG/ZH: School Girl/Zombie Hunter is a spinoff of this franchise, it never comes outright and identifies the connection for those unfamiliar with Onechanbara.
Much like how there are exploitation films that specifically aim to appeal to audience with their flagrant embraces of violence and adult content, there are video games that aim to capture that very same grindhouse appeal.
