\"\"<\/a>Unlock outfits for cute anime ladies to wear while you swing a beam sword at a ball to break blocks in Pretty Girls Breakers! PLUS. \u00a0Yeah it\u2019s pretty much a BreakOut or Arkanoid clone.\u00a0 The PLUS adds new levels and game modes, but otherwise it\u2019s more of the same from what I reviewed last year<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on PlayStation systems and Switch, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

Gameplay is super simple.\u00a0 Instead of a paddle, you control a mechanical robot thing on the bottom of the screen, and you can move left and right.\u00a0 But you can\u2019t just be under the ball to repel it back.\u00a0 You must swing at it with a beam sword by pressing the X button.\u00a0 If you time it right, you can send the ball upwards with more power.\u00a0 Complete each level by clearing out all the blocks.\u00a0 If you let the ball pass you on the bottom of the screen or get hit by a projectile, you\u2019ll lose a heart.\u00a0 Lose all of your hearts and you\u2019ll have to start that level over again.<\/p>\n

Like any good Arkanoid clone, when you break some blocks a power-up will fall.\u00a0 Catch it to temporarily slow the ball down, give you another ball to hit, create a barrier, make your sword longer, and more.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have to watch out for other obstacles, too, like rotating bars and enemies that fire bullets at you.\u00a0 Luckily you can deflect the bullets back like a ball to hit a block, but be careful as you chance getting hit, too.\u00a0 With all the bullets and balls bouncing around, it can get pretty hectic, but that\u2019s just part of the fun.\u00a0 They\u2019ve added a new endless mode where the blocks slowly come down from above and you try to last as long as you can.<\/p>\n

The way you unlock outfits for the anime ladies is a little different here.\u00a0 You earn points by completing stages, and you use those points to buy outfits and backgrounds.\u00a0 You can view the ones you\u2019ve unlocked as well as toggle options and read how to play from the main menu.\u00a0 But this game really didn\u2019t need the outfit unlocking part.\u00a0 It\u2019s just fun on its own.\u00a0 It\u2019s pretty easy to get all the trophies, too, if you\u2019re into getting all the Platinum ones you can.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pretty Girls Breakers! PLUS is rated T for Teen with ESRB descriptors of Fantasy Violence and Suggestive Themes. You use a robot to swing a beam sword at a ball to break blocks and destroy other robots,\u00a0 but that\u2019s as violent as it gets.\u00a0 Some of the outfits you unlock include skimpy bikinis.\u00a0 Too bad you can\u2019t turn that part of the game off, otherwise this game would be suitable for all ages.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the text, but not necessary just to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
