  RPGFan Reviews - Piece of Wonder
After all, the Sakura Taisen games are very Japanese in the dialogue, wordplay, cultural mannerisms, and myriad other aspects of the storylines.
Sakura Taisen fans would easily write off Piece of Wonder as a lame pretender to the throne, but for those of us non-importers who never got to have the Sakura Taisen experience, we can finally get a small taste of what Sakura Taisen fans have been gushing about for years.
As mentioned earlier, this game is probably the closest thing US gamers will get to a Sakura Taisen game: and though it's not Sakura Taisen, it is decent in its own right.

 Sakura Taisen: Atsuki Chishio Ni - PS2 review
Sakura Wars (or Sakura Taisen as its known in Japan) is one of those things where you either got into it or you didn't.
Sakura Wars is supposed to take place in turn-of-the century Japan, in a time of steam, swords, and big clunky mech design.
Sakura Shinguji, the girl in the main intro, Iris Chateaubriand, the damn annoying little French girl with her teddy bear, Maria Tachibana, the secretive Ukrainian, and the aforementioned Sumire.

 Sakura Taisen 2
What Sakura Taisen 2 does is improve upon every aspect of the original game, and provides us with one of the most refreshing, fun, and amazing games ever to have been created!
A new addition to Sakura Taisen 2 is the 'Command' feature, that allows you to change the style of fighting for your all your team members.
"Sakura Taisen 2" is one of those games that are really hard to describe, as they cannot be defined or categorized into a simple genre.

 Sakura Taisen (Sakura Wars)
A young lady named Sakura greets the young lieutenant and escorts him to the Gekijou (the Hana-gumi headquarters, which looks suspiciously like a theater...).
The six members of the Hana-gumi are Shinguji Sakura, a swordswoman; Maria Tachibana, a combat veteran from Russia; Iris Chateaubrian from France; Kanzaki Sumire, the hieress to the Kanzaki fortune; Li Kouran from China; and Kirishima Kanna from Okinawa.
All of this, plus a blitz of magazine and televison ads, helped to make this game one of the more popular to be released in the later half of 1996.

Sakura Wars is generally an action/adventure type of anime, with more of a light-hearted tone than a serious one.
Episodes 1-3 take place before the time of the Sega Saturn game, and deal with the recruiting of the Imperial Floral Assault Group (a team of girls who do battle in steam-powered mecha to protect Japan from demons) and their early days together.
It's been said that the Sakura Wars anime isn't very approachable to those not already familiar with its setting and characters.

Once upon a time there was an extremely pair of Japanese video games entitled Sakura Taisen, which told the story of the Imperial Flower Combat Troop - a group of young women who are actresses by day and demon killers at night (I might have that reversed).
Their struggles to defend Tokyo and an incredible plot that mixed magical girl, combat, demons, and Shakespeare in way no normal mind could predict caught on like wildfire, and it was only a matter of time before the video games were redone as a TV series.
With the Sakura Wars video game coming next year, the Sakura Wars 2 OVAs coming out in October, this Sakura Wars DVD was released awhile ago in the USA.

However, with all the disappointments aside, ST4 can still serve as a considerably pleasant encapsulation of the whole Sakura Taisen saga for the faithful ST fans who hand been following the series every step of the way since the release of ST1 back in 1996.
But be warned, if you never played any of the previous titles, buying ST4 is no different than reading the last chapter of a book without knowing anything from the chapters that came before.
If I have to rank all four chapters of the game, I would say ST2 is still the best among all four chapters of this great game series in terms of both volume, artwork, possible diversity in story development and gameplay.

They're some of the best darned cast of imaginary people I've ever been introduced to.
The naive, clumsy yet winsome girl in pink, Sakura; volatile and arrogant aristocrat, Sumire; Maria, the brooding and mysterious gun-wielding Russian; the sweet and insanely powerful child, Iris of France; Kohran, Chinese inventor and (accidental) demolitions expert extraordinaire; and finally, the good-natured and towering martial artist, Kanna.
To be honest, each girl is an archetypical character at the basic level, but with the deft handling and writing, you'll be too busy being charmed by them to notice the stereotypes.
