Sakura MMO 2 picks up where the first game left off. Kotone is settling into her life in Asaph as the dark witch, Viola. She has three lovely young ladies at her side, including a knight named Eleri who is also from real world Japan. How did both of them get there? Why them? Are there more people like them? How do they get home? Do they even want to go back to their boring, everyday lives? But first, they have another mystery to solve when they head to the adventurer’s guild for a new quest. They’re suppose to find a very valuable necklace, but the details aren’t adding up…

Visuals

If you liked the artstyle of Sakura MMO, you’ll also like Sakura MMO 2 since it’s done in the same vibrant anime style. It reuses many of the same backgrounds, which makes sense, since we visit the same locations. There are new ones though as the girls go on their next adventure. The character sprites are also exactly the same, with new characters introduced. Aislinn was my favorite new addition; her outfit is amazing!

I did get the 18+ patch for this one, and it actually worked, so I was treated with some extra special visuals.

Sound Effects + Music

Sakura MMO 2 also uses the same background music from in Sakura MMO. It’s a mix of fantasy inspired music and more generic visual novel music. Nothing new to say about it.

There’s still no voice acting at all. Not even little one liners or sighs. It’s not a deal breaker for me, but I find it does take away from the experience a bit, especially since this is based on a game which presumably has sound effects. And the additional sound effects are extremely limited.

Gameplay + Controls

Sakura MMO 2 is a visual novel with very few choices and no additional gameplay. It’s easy to read and get sucked into. Just press Enter and enjoy! You might want to pay attention to your choices or make multiple saves, since there are three possible endings. As far as I can tell, you don’t need to get 100% of the decisions correct for each love interest. As long as you make their critical choices to take you down one of their routes, you’ll get one of the endings. No bad ends here!

Replayability

Being a visual novel, Sakura MMO 2 is replayable, and you should replay it as it has three different endings. There’s one for each of the girls Viola can date. And all achievements are earned automatically during each route, so it should be easy to get all of them if you’ve romanced all three ladies.

Overall

Sakura MMO 2 was an improvement over the previous game, which I also adored. The storytelling was more detailed and engaging. It was action packed and mysterious and humorous and still silly and sexy. I’m eager for more!
