Full disclosure- I’ve never played an entry into the Sakura Wars franchise before. Considering that there has only been one game released in English outside of this one, that’s no big surprise. However, I had at least heard of it before getting set to play the quasi-reboot of the franchise, which should say something about how beloved this series is.
You play as…
-
Anime-esque presentation is impressive
-
Anything to do with talking is a highlight
-
Genuinely charming and funny
-
Combat is uninspired
-
Occasionally awkward moments
-
Definitely an acquired taste
