Sakura Wars back on the Sega Saturn was an amazing game that holds up incredibly well, even today! Combining RPG gameplay with a visual novel dating simulator was a concept way ahead of its time if modern titles are anything to go by, making the game a hit. Unfortunately the series' popularity was slowly but surely starting to lessen, so as a part of a plan to turn that around, a ground-up remake for the original was made and released on the PlayStation 2... only in Japan. Also, the plan to revitalize the series' popularity? Yeah, it failed, so that's cool. That said... is this remake any good? Or did the project fail as a result of mediocre content? Let's talk about it, and find out what truly is the best way of experience the classic, iconic story of Sakura Wars!

Much love to my thumbnail crew~
