A highly influential legacy title, it’s very clear to see how this influenced many other visual novels and SRPGs going forward. I think this game has aged exponentially well in spite of how long it’s been since it has released. All of the characters are fantastic, I loved all six of the main girls and they all grew so much on me and felt like a family by the end. Sakura in particular really resonated with me and I ended up romancing her. While the SRPG content is very barebones and just has the basics of it from the genre, I still found it very fun and engaging with the mechanics and found the maps extremely well-designed. The story was also great and I loved its social commentary and religious elements. Combine that with fun minigames and a great social simulation aspect and I found this to be a fantastic experience overall. Overall, Sakura Wars is a timeless classic, and I urge you to play it. I think this is a game everyone should play at least once in their life.
