Adventure of trio of bounty huntresses on a spaceship with detective elements, mindgames, a lot of yuri and driving you mad "villainess".

❇️ Perfect: Female protagonist, Visual style, Engine
*️⃣ Good: Full female cast, Yuri & H-scenes, Character's relationships, Story, Visual quality, Language, Interface, Animations
✴️ Neutral: Story progression, Visual design, Backgrounds, Music
💢 Vexing: Setting & Worldbuilding
💥 Vile: -
Into details:
▫️▫️▫️ Significant influence ▫️▫️▫️
❇️ Female protagonist / Great positive trait
Shika is a sharp minded one, always calm, serious and thoughtful, cutie, pleasure to play as her.
*️⃣ Full female cast / Positive trait
Our comrades Kotori and Nami are skillful, strong and cute, yet there is no background / development to them. They love Shika, Shika loves them, I love this perfect harem team.. Main focus here on Akane, our mysterious enemy, ohhh and how strongly I do want to punish this little pest... we will learn her closer during the game and will not hear a single word about how she became so strong.
❇️ Visual style / Great positive trait
Of course from global point of view anime style is top notch, but compared to other VNs I can see some broken proportions and shapes in characters, still there isn't anything critical and style looks just okay.
▫️▫️▫️ Average influence ▫️▫️▫️
*️⃣ Character's relationships / Small positive trait
Shika does really cares about her friends and everytime says yes when they invite her to spend some hot time together, so we will see bunch of erotic happenings. However there is not so much romantic dialogues between team, despite certainly having feelings towards each other, they are more focused on events. And ohhhh how much Akane drives me mad with her speeches and actions, but we will quite talk heart to heart with her to come to resolution.
*️⃣ Yuri h-scenes / Small positive trait
!! You need to manually download from external sources unlocked resource assets. Which is bad, official link is a lot more stable through time, users do not get payed for hosting files on own clouds. Gladly there is bunch of guides with this file.
Scenes themselves not impressive, neither hot... and there is no detailed depiction of girl's crotches and barely any textual description for any actions, and overall scenes aren't long, so this is more Featuring The Boobs™ only. Yet all 5 are quite enjoyable.
There is few ecchi, and on CGs we can quite often see translucence clothes, but that doesn't make me happy: nipples are drawn not to my taste and other parts do not drawn at all.
*️⃣ Story & events / Small Positive trait
I liked the idea by being chased by a mysterious dangerous opponent, in the same time digging information about her in detective manner. And there were couple of cool mindgames and tricks, not very complicated, but I liked them. Reading will take 3-4 hours.
Battles are boring: sometimes girls are obliteration machines with perfect reflexes, and sometimes get caught in stupid situations. There is a little or no description how exactly do they fight and what techniques they use, and as overall there is no many detailed explanations of happenings.
💢 Setting & worldbuilding / Small negative trait
It is space western, setting just a decoration, story does not use it at all. There is no anything original, yet game pushes in your face cloying and generic space sci-fi every time, I didn't like it. Cosmos and nanotechs are not a joke, so take it seriously. At least there were mentioned Thermal Signatures.
▫️▫️▫️ Lesser influence ▫️▫️▫️
✴️ Story progression / Neutral trait
It is almost kinetic, you can make 21 choices which will have no influence (only on your meta reputation as a detective).
✴️ Visual design / Neutral trait
Do not see anything interesting here, as I said, for this setting everything is so generic.
*️⃣ Visual quality / Positive trait
Drawing and image quality is good. This is both for visual design and quality: the way how nipples are drawn here makes me sad.
*️⃣ Animations / Small positive trait
There is some characters movement / facial expression changes on screen to make things a bit more lively.
*️⃣ Language / Positive trait
English is good here, with enough advanced structures, but there is no any sophisticated words (which is sad to me, I like them), so you can read this fluently.
❔ VFX / None
❔ SFX / None
Add at least some female squishy sounds...
✴️ Backgrounds / Neutral trait
Looks like exactly what you will expect from your generic space cruiser. Drawn good.
✴️ Music / Neutral trait
Soundbank is small and lame, tunes are weak. Better they found some free music on the interwebs.
*️⃣ Interface / Positive trait
Design is good, font is okay. Does not interfere to see arts.
❇️ Engine / Great positive trait
It is Ren'Py. Skips fast, every tool for VN is here. You can unpack assets easily. I am still experiencing problems with switching off the fullscreen.
Digression: This is my first game from Sakura series (and I will touch only such ones, where you can see your MC or you are female, and, how fortunately, every Sakura with yuri and full-female cast passes and everyone without does not, what a turn of events with imaginary proportions). I bought to the test only this one, which has the lowest score (79% to notice) among all yuri Sakuras, and it was at least enjoyable, so I think it is safe for me to buy all 18 of these games (MMO 1-3+Extra, Gamer 1-2, Sadist, Cupid, Space, Dungeon, Fantasy, Fox Adventure, Knight 1-3, Forest Girls 1-3. I checked only up until Alien 2), considering their laughable price during discount especially in region with all the time lowest prices and what seems that every one of them has trading cards.
But I am thinking that I will not have enough mental determination to write yet 17 of these big shitposts.
That is one spicy meat ball, especially with the R18 patch. Even excluding the H scenes, the story was actually pretty good for how basic it was. Unlike a lot of H games, the characters actually felt a bit intelligent. I'd recommend this game more than other games of the same target audience.
Small warning: No Steam Cloud Save Sync.
(with +18 patch)
Pro:
- If you like Sakura Games, go for it.
- Akane
- Character relationship and bonding
Con:
- If you played any other 1-3 Sakura games and didn't like them, you most likely won't like this one either
- Price is too high for a few hours, that said, I'm sure they have set it way expecting people to buy the games only on sale anyways
- Story is average at best (extra pro: but with fun and adult moments)
- Despite the +18 patch.....all adult scenes show the girls in an angle where you can't see their privates or due to a reason or other, they are covered...despite the adult patch... (and yes, THIS IS WHY I rated it bad. I won't support games that are adult but do stuff like this when they have a history of showing it all. Did I mention Sakura Dungeon? That had a better Sakura Space than this game for sure...But still, Akane was worth it!)
- And their breast looks like apricons (Pokemon)... regardless of what position they are....and way too wide areola on top...
I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from buying/playing this one.
The story was not good, the patch is not worth and wow just nothing really going on.
Not a good yuri story, fam.
Got it on 80% discount during summer sale and I think it was still overpriced despite the discount. It's neither a good story nor a good content.
- You can finish the game in up to 2 hours despite not really rushing it.
- Story itself is rather uninteresting and all out inconsistent.
- Choices you make through the game are all out irrelevant.
- Even after the patch, artworks in the game are rather soft and modest.
- There are only 20 "point of interest" artworks through the game.
- There are no achievements at all.
If you really want to buy it, wait for some large (at least 80%) discount.
One of the best games I've purchased in my 20 years of living. Amazing story development and character design, not to mention the superb sound track and art style. The game truly reaches it's potential with the fantastic character arcs. 10/10
Good yuri story. Nice Art. No replay value. You get all the CGs on one playthrough, so keep that in mind when buying. I'd say full price is to steep for what you get. Wait for a sale.
I don't get it. Some cute pictures but barely any quantity. They don't even switch them when they describe changes to outfits. Didn't cost much but underwhelming to say the least. NOTE: Ive left the game open quite a bit since its basically picture clicking. Probably 1 hour of actual play time so far even though it shows over 70
Another Sakura Game this Were going into Space haha Cause why not Right sooo MC Shika Who was ABoard His ship with Her Captain AI yes Computer program built in to Act Like A real person And Built in Commands. He then Later Found out He had Bounty on Someone for 1 Billion Thats Insane Amount of Money He thought and they traveled to Destroy it and Claim His prize with the Help of Some Team Mates Kotori Double Daggers Akane with her Shocking Whip And Nami with her Demon Scythe. Once again Not gonna spoil ending On How it went but Anyways Good Game Again short but good Def give this one read if you like well Space and Girls of course.
This 11th title of the Sakura series from Winged Cloud feature a trio of female bounty hunters Shika, Kotori and Nami who roam around the galaxy fulfilling contracts tracking down and capturing fugitives. One day, Shika came across a strange out of the blue contract offering a massive one billion imperial dollars for the live capture and return of a fugitive by the name of Akane. Despite everyone's initial suspicions about the contract, Shika and her crew quickly decide to put all other contracts on hold to pursue this massive contract to track down and locate Akane. Over the course of this visual novel, Shika, Kotori and Nami will attempt to locate and subdue Akane, have fun with each other as well as to find out the truth behind the contract and Akane's origins.
The story and plot is written like a comedic action thriller with a share of mystery, humour, romance, fanservice and has a nice happy ending as well as a short game summary with the number of correct answers at the end to reward players with several different detective ranks who read through the visual novel and make 21 correct/incorrect deduction and answer choices. The background music by REN from the circle 'Bastat tail', artwork by Inma and Fatelinealpha and overall presentation are great. Reading through the storyline and dialogue and unlocking all CGs at gallery will take less than 10 hours. Recommended when at discount or bundle offer for fans of Winged Cloud who might be interested in collecting the titles in the Sakura series, a short comedy thriller with yuri fanservice in a futuristic setting with appropriate background music and great artwork in the trading cards, badges, emoticons and profile artwork in this game.
Third of the Sakura Visual Novel games I have played. This visual novel was filled with beautiful art, some great characters and an interesting plot at first. Not the best visual novel that I have played but definitely worth getting if you are into the sort of imagery Sakura visual novels offer. ;)
The score:
Story 2/4
Art 1.75/2
Audio 1/1
Mechanics 1.75/2
Characters 0.75/1
Total == 7.25/10.00
The issues:
- Previous versions of the visual novel had a Back button on the User Interface. This was missing on this version. However, you can mouse scroll to previous lines. However, this is never stated and new readers might be confused.
- Branching paths == 0. This title has no changes to the story. Only "Investigation" points based on your choices when prompted.
- A 100% score with the investigation points results in... no reward... Honestly, it does not make me want to replay the title. Feels very pointless.
- All choices in this game at first felt like a facade. If you were wrong you simple rethink the option you make. I was testing to see what would happen. Didn't realise that there were "Investigation" points.
- THIS IS SPACE! Ships, space and planets. All of these promote new environments... I feel cheated with how lazy this visual novel is. (Talked more in my conclusion)
- Main character, Shika, has one of the worse thought processes later in the visual novel.
- Predictable after your first encounter with the villian of this title.
The Good! :D
- Fantastic selection of audio/music for the settings and events during the visual novel. Best in the series so far in my opinion.
- Art style is excellent for all characters and backgrounds.
- "Particular" images show our beautiful characters in multiple forms of clothing and poses. As expected for a Sakura game.
- Provided a few characters in this visual novel. Four of which we are really "interested" in. Although that includes the main character and she falls flat over time personally.
- Great use of facial expressions.
- The User Interface (UI) is absolutely wonderful! Excellent Graphical UI (GUI) layout. Smooth interface. Lots of save allocations (although not needed for this visual novel). Perfect for speed readers, slower paced readers and readers following the character's audio. However, it is missing the back button...
Conclusion:
I recommend the first title of the Sakura visual novels, being Sakura Spirit. This title did provide does still provide gorgeous anime girls in various poses and clothing with a story.
This visual novel gets a positive review from myself as it presents everything you can ask for in a Sakura visual novel. A interesting story that grabs your attention. Characters that you may like or dislike. Beautiful backdrops and character art. A visual novel engine that work flawlessly and smoothly.
However, as for my final and third Sakura visual novel... I'm not impressed with the series. The development cycle of these visual novels is roughly 7 to 8 times a year (Referenced from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winged_Cloud). These guys at Winged Cloud have the resources and talent to make a great visual novel! Yet they decide to throw out these little packages all the time.
Don't bother playing Nudge, nudge. without the H-patch, check forums for patch download.
If you are looking for the best all-around sakura game, this one is my pick. It has a very interactive story with some crime solving elements, great character development, great comedy, and yes; If you have the uncensored patch, there is some quality H-scenes as well. the music in this one is my favorite out of all the games. this game also has my favorite artist at winged cloud doing the illustrations, so the art in this game is also very well-done for what it is, a sakura game. if you get the ending where you get all of the crime-solving questions correct throughout the VN, its pretty worth it
overall, if you are buying this for the porn and want to support the winged cloud team, do it. but if you are looking for a SUPER SERIOUS DRAMA FILLED ROMANCE VISUAL NOVEL avoid all sakura games. these VNs are meant to be enjoyed and give a comedic feel like a rom/com ecchi anime, not taken as seriously as a Triple-A title.
Where to start? While I am not expecting too much from a Sakura title, the writing and plot in this one was... abyssmal. Frankly, it did little even to connect scenes where the captain... shirks her duty with another buxom beauty. Or the bounty target...
There is a patch that adds more... explicit content. Not sure if it does anything for the title at all...
Great game if you're here for them yuri anime tiddies but if you're looking for a VN with a good story, look elsewhere.
I'm a pretty slow reader so it took me about 4 hours to get through it, and no none of that time had "intermissions" ... I enjoyed the story a lot. The yuri scenes were great, and I enjoyed the characters. I wish they all had more backstory but I think they did a decent job.
This is my first Sakura game so I'm not sure how steamy the other games are, but I enjoyed what I saw in this one. Oh, and if you get the nudity patch, don't expect pussy, only tits, RIP
Length: Very Short (<2hrs)
Type: Sci-fi Adventure/Yuri
Avg read: 2 - 3 hrs
Description: Captain Shika has seen all kinds of things in her adventures throughout the universe, and with her two loyal crew members by her side, she's managed to make a name for her small company of mercenaries. When Shika finds a bounty job offering an absurd amount of money, she doesn't hesitate to act: tracking hardened criminals is part of the job. Their target is an elusive mastermind, a mark who challenges their ingenuity at every turn.
Overall: One of the worst sakura games out of the titles. The typesetting made this so hard to read for myself. The R18 patch i'd say isn't worth adding as it makes the story even more stupid.
3/10
Now hold on ! If you're looking for a good game with deep story and stuff, you can pass ! This game is all about waifus and yuri ! Very low interactions between the player and the game so it's mostly a game about boobs ! Can't say I don't like it tho .
[This has 18+ patch, buttt it doesn't show ALL THE GOODS like a good hentai should]
Interesting story, a little short. Nice artwork.
Better Sakura games out there like Sakura Fantasy chapter 1.
In my opinion, the second best sakura game to date only losing to spirit.
Great and engaging story with some unexpected(?) twists.
Highly recommended .
