The last entry of the Sakura Wars game franchise came out back in 2005 with Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love. Now, Sega is set to release the latest iteration for the PS4 this year, and we have a new trailer for Sakura Wars: Demon Conflict.
Check it out:
Here’s the official description for the game:
As the Imperial Combat Revue prepares to compete in the Combat Revue World Games, their challenge is far bigger than just themselves. As with every combat revue in the world, their true purpose is to protect their city from demons-hostile, grotesque creatures born from the anger and malice of human beings.
Beyond their revenue-raising theater productions, the team has been training and getting their Type-3 Kobu Spiricle Armor and Mugen-class Spiricle Strikers combat-ready in order to bring the Flower Division back to its rightful role as Tokyo's venerable defense force.
The game had actually come out to the Japanese market last year, but only now is it finding itself being brought to Western audiences. Sakura Wars actually mixes several game elements together; besides your standard action RPG, you also have character interactions akin to that of SIM dates.
What’s interesting is that the character designs from this game come from Tite Kubo, who is best known for his work on the hit anime/manga Bleach. I have to say, Kubo’s art gives a new feel to the world that was created by Oji Hiroi, and I love this new generation of Kobu pilots.
Sakura Wars: Demon Conflict is set to come to the PS4 on April 28. For more games coming soon, you can check out the complete and updated list of Upcoming PS4 Games.
