Most of the titles are Japan-exclusive, but some have been released as Zombie Zone or Zombie Hunters by 505 Games in Europe and are now starting to be released in the US. In 2008, A film based on the game series was released in Japan titled OneChanbara. A straight to DVD film entitled お姉チャンバラ THE MOVIE vorteX was released in 2009.

The hack and slash gameplay involves the player controlling Aya, a Japanese cowgirl in a bikini who wears a scarf and wields a katana. The player is pitted against hordes of zombies and nightmarish boss creatures, who spill torrents of blood when they are attacked. Aya is often accompanied on her adventures by several other warrior women, such as her younger sister Saki, who appears in most titles in the series.

The OneeChanbara series puts players in control of a lone girl (or in later games, two girls with the ability to tag out) against a legion of the undead. Players guide their characters through the stages, completing tasks whilst hacking through enemies. The player-character's weapon becomes progressively covered in blood, causing their attacks to be slower and to inflict less damage, even getting stuck in enemies if it gets too bad. This is represented by a "Blood Meter" showing how dirty the weapon is. To prevent this, players must actively clean off their sword to keep the blood meter from filling up.

Aya has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
