Barefoot Babes of Oneechanbara Vortex (Xbox360)

The sexy opening cinematic from Oneechanbara Vortex's Story Mode.

Here's a blast from the past! In the spotlight is one of the first titles made by dubious Japanese game publisher D3 on the Xbox360. Oneechanbara Vortex was the first 'next gen' installment of D3's series of games that featured a demon/zombie-fighting bikini cowgirl. While the gameplay was pretty iffy and still retained D3's somewhat less-than-shoddy quality, the graphics were kinda amped up, and best of all, the game was given a feature not seen before in earlier Oneechanbara games- Character Customization! Well, Costume Customization, to be exact. Nicely enough, you could dress the hot heroines of the game down to their undies/bikinis, and the very liberal character viewers allowed you to ogle the babes as much as you want. Though I got my copy waaay back in 2006, this game was released sometime ago in the US by the name Onechanbara Bikini Samurai Squad.

And these were pretty fetching zombie hunters, to be sure. Aya was the main heroine, the cowboy hat-and-boa-wearing katana master. She was ably assisted by Saki, her kinda-sister who will surely appeal to those with Jailbait preferences (of which I am not one of). Finally, there's Annna (yep, her name's spelled like this in the Japanese releases), a beautiful lady cop with firepower and a hot bod. Though the character models aren't great, they're detailed enough with nice smooth soles and toes to please foot fans, and the sexy costumes (or lack of) are what otaku dreams are made of.

Of course, the opening cutscene above is a classic barefoot babe cinematic, with a sexy shower scene giving us a wonderful extreme closeup of Aya's kissable ankles, heels, soles and toes, and li'l Saki's barefoot in the other room as well. Sadly this is the only pre-rendered cutscene to show the girls barefoot, leaving in-game graphics to fill our the rest of the game.

So check out the next couple of vids, with Aya and Annna laying waste to zombie hordes while barefoot in their hot bikinis/undies. Enjoy! Just be sure to not kiss or lick the girls' feet while there's even an iota of zombie blood around- or you'll find yourselves quickly dispatched!

Aya shows off her katana skills and sexy kicks!


Wouldn't you want to be arrested by this beautiful, barefoot law enforcer?

Ah, Oneechanbara X... so cheesy and iffy but truly a beloved piece of barefoot babe gaming greatness. They just don't make games like this anymore... sigh. Heheh.
