NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCS»
Rival schools are at war and only short-skirted
students with strength, determination, and large
bosoms can rise above the ranks to reach the mantle
of Ikki Tousen which translates into one knight who
is worthy of 1000 knights. Built as a 3D fighting
game, Shining Dragon pits players against a cast of
10 fighters which include Hakufu Sonsaku, Ryomou
Shimei, Ryofu Housen, Kakouen Myosai, and Kanu
Unchou. A new character named Chosen (Cicada) is
also featured in the game who's a buxom blonde with
red eyes, a snappy demeanor and a blue dress.
The STORY MODE allows players to choose one character and live
through her battlefield tribulations against the
backdrop of original stories that were written
exclusively for the game. The MISSION MODE features
50 stages of targeted objectives which mixes up the
action. To add to the authenticity of the game, the
voice actresses from the animation were hired to
provide the utterances and battle cries of the
combatants in the game. When fighting, the clothes
of the girls may be shredded just like they are in
the animation series. There's no outright
nudity but skin is exposed that otherwise wouldn't
get exposed. For example, when a girl's shirt is
split near the bosom area, stringy threads will
still keep it together.
Bonus Schwag
All preorders will ship with a bonus Kanu Unchou holographic
card as shown above. The holographic illusion
makes Kanu's bosom seemingly pop out of the card
like two living animals. If you move the card from
side to side, there's an illusion of wobbly
movement. Sadly, we don't have any
extra cards for new orders submitted today.

NCS Game Notes
» Upon booting, the game shows the various girls
such as Kanu and Ryomou in 3D fighting action
that's spooled from the game along with anime
sequences of the girls which are mixed with the
in-game battling. The show lasts for about 90
seconds.
» The title screen features the following game
mode selections:
STORY MODE / Choose a character from six
choices and experience their unique stories
MISSION MODE / Rage through 50 missions
with targeted objectives
???? / Needs to be unlocked before
selectable
???? / Needs to be unlocked before
selectable
OPTION / Load/Save data, set Difficulty
Level, etc
» If you play as Sonsoku Hakufu, her cousin Shuyu
Koukin appears and speaks to Ryomou. The dialogue
is accompanied by voice acting provided by the
actors from the animation series. Sonsaku joins
the conversation and she and Shuyu eventually go
outside where they're met by Chouhi Ekitoku who's
best described as a mushroom-haircut girl with red
eyes and Sailormoon outfit. Inner power in the
form of blue hazy light wells up within Sonsaku
and a battle against four school girls in matching
blue/white outfits starts.
» Movement is controlled through the L-Analog and
the button commands are as follows:
TRIANGLE / High kick
SQUARE / Punch
CIRCLE / Special attack
R1-TRIGGER / Guard
L1-TRIGGER / Recover health
»
The schoolgirls are fairly aggressive and will
gang up on poor Sonsaku with a volley of punches
and kicks. They also block blows and mix up the
action. Once they're beaten,
Chouhi Ekitoku
appears and engages Sonsaku in a one-to-one
battle. She's a patsy however and after the
battle, you're graded on your overall efforts, hit
percentage, and time of battle.
»
Between battles, the points that you've earned may
be used to upgrade Sonsaku's skills. You'll also
be prompted to save your progress to memory card
after each successful bout.
»
After defeating
Chouhi,
a new character named Cicada enters the scene and
speaks to the assembled group which includes Ryofu
Housen. Later in recovery, Sonsaku speaks to her
cousin and Ryomou. However, after the interaction,
Sonsaku's off to battle again where she faces off
against another four schoolgirls that regenerate a
few times before their bosswoman appears. This
time it's Ryomou who swaggers in with her
trademark French maid's outfit and eyepatch. She's
not much of a fight either but maybe she's holding
back.
»
The next battle pits Sonsaku against four male
bruisers. If you've upgraded Sonsaku's skills, she
can perform a ground-level whirlwind kick where
she pirouettes on one foot and spins around so
she'll knock everyone surrounding her off their
feet. The boss lady in the third battle is Ukitsu
who throws a hard hitting forward thrust move with
her hands.
»
The schoolgirls return in the next battle and the
boss lady is Choun Shiryu with her pastel blue
hair and mysterious persona. Choun attacks with a
sword and is can break Sonsaku's guards with her
weapon. She can also perform a
cinema-accompanied special attack where she
seemingly pokes Sonsaku in the stomach and knocks
her down for the count.
»
Ikkitousen Shining Dragon is a video game that's
built on fan service. Sonsaku's shirt is
remarkably short and the bosoms found in the game
tend to be large and juggle during battle. That's
right, juggle. The destruction of clothing
is also an interesting feature.
