R. P. Jesus – June 20, 2023

What really makes Sakura Wars special is the Live Interactive Picture System (LIPS). LIPS lets you pick what you say and ultimately change the course of the game to one of six different endings. I know that might not seem so unique now that gamers have been spoiled by BioWare, but since there are no BioWare RPGs on the Wii I think more than just anime fans could find this campy game highly enjoyable.Of course being an anime fan doesn’t hurt. Voltron fans in particular will appreciate the premise but be warned the “MECHA Action!” does take a back seat to the drama. The flow of the game feels reminiscent of Snatcher or Policenauts, except Sakura Wars follows a formula. You’ll deal with a new dilemma in each chapter that will end in a tactical battle. But you’ll have to navigate over an hour of dialogue before you see any action. (That is, unless you stumble into the hot tub area.)Although, I found most of the girls in this game scary! (How’s that for realism?) I spent my time trying not to say or do anything that would give them the wrong idea (no “hadaka no tsukiai”). I did have a lot of fun dodging them, though. This could be a whole new direction for the series, “Sakura Wars 6: Let’s Just Stay Friends.”The combat has been compared to a bare bones Valkyria Chronicles. It’s simple enough but if you don’t pay attention you can die quickly. Not to worry though, you can simply restart not far from where you failed. Battles can take about 30-45 minutes. So show up to play!I enjoy.

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.

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.

Other reviews have gone into way more detail about this game and its variety of systems, so I’m going to focus rather on my personal opinion and response to the game when I first played it. When first starting the game, I was amazed at how much it felt like I was playing an anime cartoon. The game is presented in a mix of anime cutscenes mixed with picture backdrops and cut-out character portraits with multiple poses per character.The majority of your time in the game will be in the dating-sim portion of it where you literally read text and do responses in a variety of fashions, be it a simple selection between multiple choices or actively moving your control sticks to on screen prompts to provide a response. The actions and choices you make and do have a direct impact on your relationships with just about every person you meet in the game.This carries over into the tactical battle portion which is rendered in full 3D rather than pictures. You can be a complete charmer and have everyone love you and thus get the best battle bonuses or be a complete dick and have a rougher time on battles since everyone is limited in both movement, power and speed. The battles, albeit repetative after a while, do have their charm and are quite entertaining with lots of simple tactical choices to make. It really doesn’t get difficult and the last chapter, which is good considering there is no ‘leveling up’ in this game. Downside however, is the crashing/freezing bugs. The only way I’ve read tha.

Great game in some ways, it’s interesting how it tries to portray New York and each character is developed quite well. The turn based strategy is weird but works well. Sometimes the game runs terribly mid-combat.
