Sakura Wars comes to the West this April
Last year Sega announced that Sakura Wars would be coming to the west for the first time and they now have said when, the game will release on PlayStation 4 on April 28, check out the announcement trailer below.
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.
The game will feature a full Japanese audio track, with subtitles in English, so those who are not used to games in this way, might want to have another think on it.
