Critic Reviews
Sakura Wars Review
Since emerging on the Sega Saturn back in 1998, Sakura Wars has remained an understated yet iconic member of the JRPG genre and become immediately recognisable thanks to its infectious theme song and an unorthodox blend of visual novel and strategy mechanics.

Sakura Wars is a great entry point to a fascinating series. If you wish Persona had a bit more action, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for here. While the “sexy misunderstandings” are cringe worthy, the characters are fun to interact with and the giant robots are a joy to pilot.

Sakura Wars is a visually appealing and fun game to play overall. While the gameplay leaves much to be desired, it's still a great entry for newcomers to the franchise.
