Sakura Wars 5 is a port of an older Japanese RPG for the Wii console.It combines elements of a turn-based RPG with a Japanese dating-sim / relationship game (if you aren’t familiar with those, basically at certain plot points you make decisions on how to advance the plot, and your decisions affect how other characters in the game behave / interact with you). The result creates a game with a great story loosely based on Japanese history and folklore, and exciting turn-based battles in giant robots, based in a fictitious 1920’s steampunk New York.Due to the nature of the relationship-based gameplay, there is no need to grind to level up your characters. You improve your teams offensive and defensive capabilities by building close friendships with the other robot pilots, thus creating more powerful combo-attacks. That way, more of the playtime spent is focused on character development and interaction, and furthering the plot. Bosses are interesting enough that the game doesn’t seem repetitive even though essentially it follows the story first, then battle formula in each chapter.Controls are easy to pick up, this game is compatible with the wiimote + nunchuk, or with a classic controller. Graphics are crisp, but then most of the interactions in the story are in 2D, but battles are in 3D. Game length is around 20-35 hours, with a bit of replay value if you want to do things differently / find all the unlockables.Defintely a fun game that I would recommend, I kept going back to fi.

This game is a wonderful mix of action game play and decision making. A real joy to play, it should be in every anime fans game collection.

I had to give this game 4 stars, as much as I would love to give it a perfect score. As others have said this game is based much more on the relationship building and dialogue than battle, which I LOVED. I’ve never played a dating sim before so it was kinda different, but I love games were you can make choices and where the characters are engaging. This had both. I’m also a fan of games with romance and this was chock full of options, from the sweet, down-home country girl, to the Harlem Lawyer, to the transgendered individual.Sometimes having to answer questions with the time limit they give you can make me a little stressed, and some tasks are very hard. Often you have to flick the control sticks in a correct direction, or spin them a certain amount to complete a task. It is very difficult to get these right.One of my main gripes, as an tactical rpg player, is that your characters do not level up. They form stronger bonds with you and one another during the time spent outside battle, but this really only powers up the moves you use together in battle. Those moves are basically useless against bosses, so your characters never really get stronger. This makes boss battles frustrating as you cannot go back and train. You always feel under leveled. Some might thrive on this and see it as a challenge, I found it frustrating. Especially seeing as later in the game you fight first on the ground, then in the air, both being extremely tough fights. There is no save in be.

Awesome Game! No problems with anything.

I haven’t played through most of the game but it is fun. With that said I wasn’t expecting this to be a dating sim-ish game. It does tie into the battles and story so that’s something. Hopefully after playing through I will have enjoyed the whole game.

This review is pertaining to the wii version of the game and I’ll keep it short and to the point:Story is pretty good. It doesn’t seem too serious, sort of in the same vein as Sailor Moon. The graphics are bright and colorful, mostly consisting of anime sequences interspersed between static 2D backgrounds with anime portraits laid out on top and a lot of spoken and unspoken dialog.Gameplay consists of fighting 3D battles SRPG-style at the end of each Episode (8 Episodes total) and each episode probably ranged, on average, 2 hours in length (keep that in mind when playing the game–doesn’t really go well in short bursts). On the bright side, you can save your game at predetermined checkpoints at certain points during each episode.**Despite what people think, the game is not in 480p in the wii version. It is 480i and in 4:3 mode (non-widescreen) just to clarify that bit.Music can get a little repetitive at times, but the overall composition of the tracks are done fairy well and fit the mood perfectly.Controls, at least on the wii version, when doing quick-time-events during dialog scenes can be frustrating. You have to move the analog (nunchuck) stick and on the wii remote, the dpad arrows a certain way in order to pass the little events. It can be frustrating because the remote dpad doesn’t really move well on a smooth axis, if anyone can understand what I mean.Help support NISA and this game. It’s really unique. I bought this version with the hardbound artbook from RosenQueen.

So a lot of people will say this is a adventure sim dating game with an RPG combat system, and they’re right. Your squadmates are more powerful depending on the main character’s relationship with each of your squadmates (which is affected by the player’s decisions.) That’s the basic overview but this game is pretty darn good albeit if you don’t like classic adventure game formats, then you might not like it. With that said, this game has very good characters (albeit they fit a lot of stereotypes.) The main story is…very Saturday morning cartoon. Combat is pretty good, the first few chapters are relatively simple but the difficulty of the game jumps up in the last two chapters (so pacing problems there.)Not For: JRPG traditionalists or people looking for a story that hasn’t been done before.For?: People that love Adventure/Sim dating games, a different form of combat, a game with with good characters. and/or a story that is fun to play through.Quick bit: It’s good, but not for everyone. Character interactions are great, main story is ok(a bit generic), combat is superb and the last chapters really require you to use your wits and cunning effectively. Also, this game can be really cheesy and I love it.If you loved this game, you should support: “Kiss Me Sweet: The “Sakura Wars” Localization Project” This is the project that is trying to get the publishers to localize the game first 4 sakura wars game to other regions. The localization project is thankfully on the Operation Ra.

This game definitely isn’t for everyone, but for its target (and I can tell that it’s not a very huge target audience), it will deliver. I’m not yet sure where I stand with this game, but I can tell work was put into it. It’s more story than action…by a long shot. I hope you love reading, because you spend most of your time reading in this game. Walking around, then reading some more, then there’s one or two fights and the chapter ends. The independent stories of each character are great really, but sometimes the game feels like it’s dragging on, or gets boring, due to the lack of action. When I say action, I mean giving you reason to use your controller, especially in a battle. Most times you’ll just be hitting the A button to read. There’s tons of action in the cut scenes and talking scenes, I just wish you were actually IN it. Some people may not be able to play this game for very long at once because of this. It’s something you’ll enjoy more taking small sips of at a time, if you’re not the reading type.The game feels like it’s running a lot longer than it actually is due to all the talking. If you were expecting a fair amount of action you’ll be disappointed, or feel mislead. This game has very little of it. It’s a shame as well because the battle system is very good. I wish more RPGs used this exact battle system. It also pains because the fights are so much fun, you’re dying inside while waiting for the next one to come around. It leaves you hungry until you get a ta.

Great game, fab graphics and just a lot of fun. I bought this game for my husband and he has enjoyed it as he does all good rpg games. The characters are interesting and the story line is unique. Set in New York of all places! If you like rpg games and you have not stumbled on this game as of yet, please do so. We are playing this Sakura Wars on the Wii but it is available for a number of the other consoles as well. Great diversion on a hot day… play it and find out.
