Pretty much an expansion over the first. As this is based off of Sakura Wars 2, we not only have Orihime and Reni join the roster but also have multiple different stances that change up how the game is played just like the ones in 2. The plot continues to be more wacky spinoff shenanigans, and seeing the tokyo gang interact with one another never gets old. The gameplay is still classic ol columns, which is fine, but as a competitive game it sure aint no puyo puyo that's for sure. Still definitely is charming enough to warrant a play and surprisingly there's even an english patch so it's one of the few games in this series I can actually recommend!!!!!!!
