The Imperial Combat Revue takes the stage as Tokyo's defense force against a demon threat in this extravagant adventure. Soldiers in wartime, but theater performers in peacetime, the Revue's Flower Division is not living up to their legacy and is at risk of being shut down. As newly appointed captain Seijuro Kamiyama, it's up to you to turn the team around.

During your adventure, you'll interact with a colorful cast of characters via the dynamic LIPS dialogue system (a trademark of the series), where what you say and how you say it makes an impact both on and off the battlefield. This flows into the high-energy combat system, featuring giant steam-powered mechs called the "Spiricle striker" that can only be piloted by those with strong spiritual power. 

All of this is presented in the style of an exciting anime production, complete with gorgeous animated sequences and dramatic character arcs that will leave you eager for what happens next!

When you take the reins as Seijuro Kamiyama in Sakura Wars, your challenges aren't only with your own Imperial Combat Revue, but also with every other combat revue in the world. There's a big battle looming.

Almost immediately after being appointed captain of the Flower Division, your boss, Sumire Kanzaki, announces Tokyo's sworn protectors are at risk of being disbanded. You and your squad have one chance to prove yourselves and save the legacy of the Flower Division - by winning the Combat Revue World Games.

The Games are an intense, dynamic tournament where combat revues from around the world compete in elaborate stage performances and battle with their giant mecha. They were established with the hope it would foster a spirit of unity between the different revues while also enhancing their public profile, allowing these heroes to take the spotlight and display their combat prowess to the populace.

The Flower Division can expect to face particularly fierce opposition from the combat revues of Shanghai, London, and Berlin. The rules are simple, though the path forward is anything but:

• Every match is a three-on-three team battle spread across three rounds.
• You'll select two squad members who will fight alongside you.
• Each team scores points by defeating targets located around the tournament arena.
• These points contribute to a tug-of-war-like gauge. Win by overpowering your opponent in that gauge or by scoring the most points overall at the end of the match.

Are you ready to fight your way to glory, prestige, and most importantly, government funding to keep the Flower Division operating?

Key Features:

• Dramatic Character Interplay - Engage with a colorful cast through the dynamic LIPS dialogue system where what you say and how you say it has a profound impact on relationships off and on the battlefield.
