You play as Hiroki Ogasawara, a photographer, with a harem of really cute succubi! After winning a kurata tournament, Hifumi is invited to stay with the princess of Astoria, but insists on Hiroki accompanying her. Of course, this means some of the other ladies must go too!

Visuals

Sakura Succubus 5 is done in vibrant anime style. I still continue to enjoy how this series looks. Of course, there’s lots of big boobies, but they’re not overly exaggerated, which I appreciated. They all look like “real” busty women, not just walking knockers. We also get a bunch of new locations this time, since the group is on vacation for the entirety of the story. The girls also got some cute, new outfits. I was a bit bummed that Cosmos and Ayu aren't in most of it, but we do meet two new cuties.

I did get the 18+ patch for this one, so I was treated to some extra special visuals. Wink wink.

Sound Effects + Music

There doesn't seem to be any new background music in Sakura Succubus 5. It's all the same from the previous games. The music does change with every location change, so you’re never hearing the same song for too long.

There’s 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.

Gameplay + Controls

Sakura Succubus 5 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! Like the previous games except the first, the achievements aren't all automatic. You did need to choose the correct options, but it doesn't really change the story at all since there are no branching paths and just two endings. You'll mostly just get different conversations.

Replayability

Being a visual novel, Sakura Succubus 5 is replayable. Even though there are only a handful of choices, it’s fun to see how selecting something different changes the story. It’ll just be some changes in dialogue, since the story is mostly the same, with just a slightly different ending based on the final two choices.

Overall

Sakura Succubus 5 isn't my favorite of the series thus far. It actually felt a bit disconnected from everything else that has happened up until this point. And it just kind of ends?
