Sakura Wars is an enjoyable revival of the iconic series, presenting a fascinating blend of genres. Unfortunately, it far too often falls victim to tired tropes and writing which treats its excellent female cast as little more than objects. Still, if you're a sucker for engaging stories, wacky combat and a strange, unusual world I recommend giving Sakura Wars a try.
Faithful to the original while building upon it ; A strong cast of characters worth investing in ; Excellent soundtrack and lush visuals throughout ; Presents a fascinating blend of different genres ;
Writing is oftentimes outdated and misogynistic ; Combat is merely passable; Movement and camera issues arise quite often ;
