Also announced was a store-exclusive downloadable content DLC named ‘Kagura T-Shirt & Thong Bikini Set.’ It wouldn’t be a Marvelous game without some sort of fanservice.
For those not in the know, Uppers is Senran Kagura producer’s Keinchiro Takaki’s latest project. It is a brawler set on an isolated island where you play as one of many male characters. It is a free roaming fighting game which dosen’t focus so much on combos, however also comes with a bizarre mechanic involving the male characters sticking their faces into the chests of the supporting female cast.
Uppers is planned to release in Japan on April 21st.
