Sakura Wars Review - Noisy Pixel

[@HansBoopie]

Really glad that Sakura Wars has come back to the West! Good review, thanks.

[@1wayroad935]

The greatest struggle in the game will be to choose which girl to waifu.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Rip harem route

[@thaiboypsp3000]

The hardest choices require the strongest wills.

[@thelegendaryjanitor2008]

after playing theg ame i feel like only Claris and Sakura actually want love him while other seem to treat him like family and friend

[@zevzero]

It stinks Sega released this in the same month as Persona 5 and FF7 as all my free time is spoken for.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Ooph and trials of mana

[@patrickrainville]

Thanks for the review! Leaning towards getting this.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Thanks for watching! If you do, let us know what you think :)

[@TheBlueDeath123]

“The romance can get a little messy” heeeeah

[@NoisyPixelNews]

;)

[@sterlingkart9562]

I gotta play this! The game is on sale for $8.99 atm

[@VillainViran]

I'll wait for if it'll ever come to pc, but instead of buying it for my ps4 I got around to playing that fan translation of the original ^^ It's so much fun, so much soul!

[@nr2676]

3 years later - still no port

[@VillainViran]

Yep, It was rough. Buy it and support a version of something I dislike, or don't and let it die.@@nr2676

[@revy1370]

Great game 8/10 underrated as hell.

[@nr2676]

Whole series is underrated as hell (in West).

[@TheDreadedZero]

It’s weird that when you pronounce Sakura the character’s name you say it correctly but when you pronounce the Sakura in the games title you say it wrong... it’s the same word.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Azario will get it right some day. Also, don’t be such a nerd.

[@TheDreadedZero]

Noisy Pixel haha.Cant help it.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

[@pla6ue]

@@TheDreadedZero Aha!...But they're not WORDS, they're NAMES.

[@TheDreadedZero]

Eric Hammer well ones a name and the others a word. The title uses the name as the flower.

[@howardsmith9165]

Wish this had a VR mode. 80% story would play nicely.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Oh sign us up for that!

[@TechMainDownloads]

Really can't wait to play this, although if I may ask, do the romances have a conclusion? As in, does the game close things out well or is it stupidly ambiguous?

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Each girl has their own animated ending. Nothing ambiguous, but kind of over-the-top in a charming sort of way.

[@itsblitz4437]

Will Sakura Wars ever get a anime? This looks have potential to have one.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Yea this one has an anime :) I think it’s on Funimation

[@jimmygreat8363]

is kamiyama the only guy or no i dont want to be mean i was just wondering

[@NoisyPixelNews]

There are like three other guys that you can build relationships with.

[@anthonylspnss68]

How long is the game?

[@NoisyPixelNews]

I think it took me 30 hours for the first ending romance route. I went back though to collect stuff and improve relationships. You can probably get through it in 20 hours. But like I said, I watched it like an anime haha and explored

[@anthonylspnss68]

Noisy Pixel that’s unfortunate the developers said 40 hours , $60 for a 20 hour game , I expected more content

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Well, I think they say that because of the time that it takes to get the other routes, complete all the battle stages, and stuff. But I see where you’re coming from.

[@PantsaBear]

@@anthonylspnss68 Then just wait for a sale dawg, not every game is a neverending epic. Better as a focused game that knows what it wants to be and executes rather than some bloated one just adding substanceless content for the sake of it. They stretch the truth with generous time estimates because theyre afraid people wont buy a game because its 25 hours long vs 30, which is silly

[@jedimaster12100]

Can't wait to play this.

[@wertywerrtyson5529]

This is the first in the series to come to Europe I believe. Looks interesting.

[@joeyisabsb1]

How would you rate sakura wars: so long, my love compared to this game? I'm debating on which one to play. I dont want to play both at the moment, just one of them.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

So Long My Love is one of the worst entries of the series :X

[@joeyisabsb1]

@@NoisyPixelNews Thank you for the response! I guess I'll be diving into this one then :)

[@FiggsNeughton]

@@joeyisabsb1 I loved So Long, My Love, absolutely fantastic game. I ended up hating this one just because of the horrendous gameplay. I couldn't finish it. It's a shame too because the characters are great and the story was interesting. I just really despise that God of War style gameplay that gives you the option to memorize a long list of "combos".

[@Jack-nj9pi]

​@@NoisyPixelNewsthats a damn lie lol this one takes the cake as worst in the series

[@ghostghost514]

I have a question does this game has Japanese text?

[@TheGreatPanicker]

Sooo, there is too much talking and not wnough combat?!

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Not too much talking. Just a lot of it

[@battleroyale1056]

SEGA JUST WENT FULL ANIME = GREATNESS ARRIVED!!!

[@jimmygreat8363]

this cool

[@jinchuriki7022]

The Shanghai division was straight annoying. Their trying to kill you, then the next moment their your friends? Screw that. Far has combat, would have preferred to keep it turn based. Of course, the graphics, and dialogue options are top tier. We really need a remaster of the old Sakuras wars, my favorite being the New York Revue

[@Deadmare]

I hate how they keep skipping on English dub

[@nr2676]

Low budget, thats why. But NISA added ENG dubb in So Long My Love, but Sega dont, is still bizzare. I heard they dont added ENG dubb to this game because they spent all money on multi language subbs (ENG, FRA, GER, ITA, ESP,).
