Sakura Wars 2: Thou Shalt Not Die

Overview

Sakura Wars 2: Thou Shalt Not Die is a tactical role-playing game and dating sim hybrid set in an alternate steampunk Taishō-era Tokyo. Players lead the Imperial Combat Revue's Flower Division, managing their theater by day and piloting giant robots to defend the city from demonic threats by night.

How to Play

Your primary goal is to lead the Imperial Combat Revue's Flower Division to success both on the stage and the battlefield. Gameplay is divided into two main phases. During Adventure Mode, you explore the theater and Tokyo, building relationships with your squad members through dialogue choices that affect their Trust levels. These interactions are crucial, as higher Trust directly translates to more powerful combat abilities for each character. In the tactical combat phases, you command your team of mechs on an isometric grid, engaging in turn-based battles against demonic forces. Success hinges on positioning your units effectively and utilizing powerful combination attacks that become available based on the bonds you've forged. A key early strategy is to focus on building a strong rapport with a few core characters rather than trying to evenly distribute your attention, as this will yield more potent special moves sooner. Pay close attention to each character's personality during conversations to make choices that resonate with them. In tense combat moments, prioritize protecting support characters and using terrain to your advantage.
