Sakura Wars is a Strategy RPG that features a unique sim-based story system. An in-depth storyline exists, much like in any other RPG; however, the player's destiny in the game is not predetermined. Character interaction plays a major role, and your responses to the various characters in the game can ultimately change the story content and even the final outcome. The battle system is divided into two main parts; ground combat and air combat. Ground combat takes place using two-legged mechanized suits, which transform into jet fighters to take the fight to the sky. Every mech unit in the game can transform from battle mech mode to jet fighter mode during combat. Once transformed, weapons and movement methods will change as well. For example, the hero's ground mode utilizes a sword as his main weapon, but in jet mode he will use long-range missiles.

I never realized just how much i wanted to be a young asian man persuing a romance with an african-american woman before i played this game.

You know what I need to bring this down half a star, the English dub was utterly painful and made me cringe.

I’ll replay it in Japanese and see how I feel.

Whoever thought to use the d-pad for LIPs sections is either an idiot or knows something we don’t. Probably not the latter.

Weird, dated, wobbly localization aside, this game was fantastic! You play as newcomer Shinjro Taiga, nephew to previous protag Irchiro Ogami, and go to New York City. Exploring the city was wonderful, as a person who used to live in New York I remembered all of the locations that were there, which was very nice and. The game also has a more advanced version of the LIPS system from previous games, choices are much more difficult but I think that added to the challenge. The story is fantastic too with character development that I thought was really nice over the chapters and well-paced, though I was not a fan of the fifth chapter. In addition battles have an added layer of challenge and strategy to them, featuring a lot more enemies and a reworked gameplay system spawning from the third game in the series. The characters for the most part are all really great, with Gemini (who I ended up romancing) and Subaru being my favorites. All-in-all a fantastic experience and I can't wait to play New Game+.

a tour-de-force and a love letter with a certain je-ne-sais-quoi, sakura wars v is a revelation and a real eye-opener. a magnum opus, a triumph, a visual masterpiece, an instant classic, its mindbending; a deconstruction and it left me speechless 🐟
