Story[]

This is the first Sakura Wars game to be focused on a "school" theme. The game's main background is the Grand Imperial Academy (大帝国学園, Daiteikoku Gakuen^?) located on New Imperial Island (帝都新島, Teito Shinjima^?), where online players gather as students where the gameplay extends to enjoying school life, meeting classic Sakura Wars characters, fighting demons, and combat training with spiritual armor.

Gameplay[]

The game's combat would have been similar to previous Sakura Wars games with the game being an SRPG in which you move the game's characters across a grid base level to defat demons

While the island still functions as a military area, over half of it is filled with city functions, residential areas, and factories for living necessities while the unoccupied areas remain untouched.
