Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni

Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni is an action game set on a quarantine island where young women infected with a mysterious virus battle to gain control over it. You play as one of seven characters, fighting through 24 story missions and arena-based online multiplayer for up to four players.

The virus and Bhikkhuni

A mysterious illness affects girls in their teens and twenties, enhancing their mental abilities and allowing them to transform their bodies into lethal weapons. The world government classifies the virus into the A-Virus and V-Virus, then establishes five artificial islands to quarantine those infected. Bhikkhuni is known for successfully controlling the V-Virus, and girls who attend its school can overcome the infection.

The story follows sisters Rinka and Ranka Kagurazaka, both infected with the V-Virus. Rinka is outwardly graceful and innocent but has hidden strength; Ranka is outgoing but frail. They do not know that infected patients must battle one another to control the virus.

The game also describes the A-Virus as transforming young women into Extars, weapons, or Liberators, those who control them. The Valkyries on Bhikkhuni carry a distinct strain called the VR-Virus, which lets them take either role. They are sent to the island for a treatment in which combat is meant to strengthen their minds and bodies and improve their control of the virus. The island's leadership and the virus's secrets are among the story's mysteries, and the story raises a choice between Order and Chaos.
