Game play- You travel multiple areas interacting with your friends to build their trust and complete side missions or conversations. Building trust will allow your teammates to be more combat effective and even open the door to romance. You have multiple responses to choose from in conversations, so it is kinda like persona, but not quite as deep. When not doing the social interactions at the main base, you are either fighting demons or other mechs. The combat is fun but not to complicated at all. You press circle and triangle to do basic combos, and square to do your special attacks. Enemies are easy to beat and each time a new one is presented, the characters explain how to defeat them. This is not a platinum style combat game, but it still flows good and is fun to play.
Visuals and Sound- the game is very anime style with anime cut scenes. It is very well done and I personally loved the visuals. Character models are unique and each of the main characters stand out. The mechs and battle effects look great as well. The music is OK, with many Japanese songs playing during cut scenes and boss battles. None of the music really stood out to me and either really good or bad.
Overall, Sakura Wars is a fun game for those who enjoy social interactions with comrades, mech battles, romance, silliness, and anime.
Sakura, the main character in Sakura Wars, is not Sakura from the original Sakura Wars. From the opening scene you find that 10 years had passed, and Sakura had saved Sakura from a demon attack, when Sakura was a little girl underneath the Sakura tree. Sakura decided that she wanted to be just like Sakura, and joined the Imperial Combat Review. In the present, all the original members except one, are presumed dead. It's up to you and Sakura, to reform the Imperial Combat Review, fight some bad guys, learn more about Sakura, her friends and maybe just a little bit about what happened to the original Sakura. Confused? Believe me, it all makes sense.
The gameplay has 3 main types: First is the visual novel point and click adventure, the second is RPG style exploration, and the third is action RPG combat. Honestly it doesn't use any of these to their fullest potential, but what it does use is pretty good, and what it lacks it more than makes up for in story.
The game is visually stunning combining anime with 3D models and regular video game cutscenes. These aren't seamless transitions but the different styles are a delight and reminiscent of how games like this used to be made a generation or 3 ago.
The sound, music and visuals alone are worth the price of this game. My only complaint is the story gets a bit long in places and Sakura gets a little annoying with her self doubts, late in the story. It almost becomes unecessary drama.
There are minor multiple ending paths as you get to choose who will be best girl, as well as a mini card game and a new game plus mode, making the game worth replaying. Sakura Wars isn't perfect, but hopefully Sega makes a sequel and improves the game with each new release. I give it a 9 out of 10 because I am terribly biased and suffer from Sakura Wars nostalgia.

Os gráficos são bons porém a parte introdutória é bem lenta. Outro ponto estranho é que não é todo dublado (jp). Algumas cenas tem voz, outras não, e ai fica parecendo que o jogo está pela metade. É estranho.
Não recomendado pelo preço pedido. Por 100-150, sim, é aceitável.
¿Qué clase de juego tenemos aquí? Muchos lo describirían como una Novela Gráfica con Mechas de Guarnición... Supongo que sería lo correcto. Alrededor del 70% del juego sería compuesto por la exploración del protagonista, Seijuro Kamiyama (tú) por la majestuosa capital Imperial de Tokyo en una versión alterna de inicios de 1940, dominado por fantásticas máquinas de vapor al mejor estilo del Steampunk, así como su interacción con un gran elenco de nuevos personajes llenos de personalidad, en toda clase de situaciones que esperarías ver en un Anime, sin mencionar pequeños guiños aquí y allá a personajes de entregas anteriores, que espero algún día actúen en este lado del mundo.
Por el otro lado, tendríamos el 20% del juego en las secciones de combate que, no voy a mentir, definitivamente requieren más profundidad y refinamiento; a veces llegaría a pensar que estas escenas de explosiones y rayos son realmente los momentos usados para tomar un respiro, Ha ha. Están geniales, sin embargo no es un punto que realmente enganche en este juego específicamente.
Finalmente está el último 10% del juego que representaría el minijuego de "Koi-Koi Wars" siendo partidas de cartas con baraja japonesa (Hanafuda). Un juego muy divertido cuya única dificultad yace en conocer las cartas y su valor (así como la suerte que tengas).
Este es un juego que recomiendo Completamente a cualquier persona que quiera pasarse las tardes enganchado a un rato agradable y mayormente despreocupado; es notorio el amor y dedicación que contiene, pues aseguro que va a ver una cosa, si es que no todo, que te vaya a gustar.
P. D. 1: El juego tiene Audio en Japonés, y los subtítulos están en Castellano (Español de España)
P. D. 2: ¡ ¡ ¡ HURRA POR EL CACAHUETE IMPERIAL ! ! !
