You arrive at the Imperial Combat Revue (currently disguised as a theater) and given instructions by your boss to take the reigns of the floundering Flower Division and build them up to become a formidable force. The story itself begins simply enough, as you play the role of a recently discharged Naval Captain called Seijuro Kamiyama. With an archetypal anime story full of the usual tropes you’d expect holding everything together, a couple of stand-out moments in its narrative just aren’t enough to elevate this above disappointing mediocrity. The result is something that’s disjointed and feels like three games awkwardly squeezed into one 20-hour title. It’s a game that feels like a half baked medley of ideas, swinging between a slice-of-life dating simulator, a simple hack’n’slash arena fighter and a visual novel. Acting as a soft-reboot for the Sakura Wars series of games, this PS4 title essentially plays out as an interactive novelization of an anime.
