  • A Rewarding Battle System—Armed with powerful mechs known as “spiricle armour,” the gameplay is augmented by a deep and robust combat system that takes full advantage of each squad member’s unique abilities.
  • An Eye-catching Anime Production—Complete with gorgeous animated sequences and dramatic character arcs, the story will leave you hungry for what happens next.

When released, Project Sakura Wars will include Japanese VO with English, German, French, and Spanish subtitles.
