without giving off any spoilers, not many beloved characters returned to the series despite lots of teases

So it's mainly disappointing for long time fans of the series (games, anime, model kits, figurines etc)

They just discontinued their mobile game as well last year which was fun while it lasted, and it had a VERY promising premise of the storyline with a really awesome teaser first episode

and that's it, it stops right there, this PS4 game's storyline kinda teases you that it sounds like it's going back to the roots.... with some promising "explanations", and then it doesn't
In other words, no happy ending.
Glad there are actually fans of the series here!

Sakura Wars 3 on dreamcast was probably "THE CHANGE" that I think most of us are OK with. Same guy, the old cast showed up for a while, the new cast is very lovable.

Sakura Wars 4 felt like they were playing it safe, but still works for me.

then they tried to make the game english friendly by putting the story in US and introduced action gameplay with sakura wars 5 episode 0, and it felt.... problematic. When the real 5 came out, it's not action but more similar to 3. However, even the opening song doesn't feel epic anymore and everything just felt flat.

This game was really really promising when it was announced. And the mobile game's teaser anime really makes you think that Sega is bringing the series back, but it just feels like they're very limited on the budget. They hired some top notch voice actors for the game that ended up becoming side characters

It's likely due to the fact that they changed the character design artist too (same guy who did Ah My goddess, you're under arrest), and the original voice cast is getting old. The artist is likely not returning after he had an affair with some cosplayer girl. Instead, this game's characters were created by the guy who did Bleach.

If you wanna play a story-based anime style action RPG game, scarlet nexus is the more recent one that I liked



If that's what you're looking for, School Days is still top notch to me. Many very happy endings, I promise. SmilieSmilieSmilieSmilie

If you like dating sims with anime girls and some mech-based action RPG combat thrown in every now and again, you'll enjoy this one.

I'm pretty much in agreement there, but I would give Sega so much money for a port to any modern system of 1-5, or even a localized version of 1 &2 that had been originally released for the PSP...

I second this opinion. Oddly enough I also missed the 2D game play as well.
