Sakura Wars Sega Saturn

Sakura Wars is the 1996 Sega Saturn game that launched Sega and Red Company's long-running series. In an alternate 1920s Tokyo, a young naval officer is put in charge of the Imperial Floral Assault Group, a squad of women who are stage actresses by day and pilot steam-powered mechs against demons. Adventure scenes with timed dialogue choices shape your bonds with the team, and those bonds affect turn-based battles. The Saturn original came on two discs and never had an official English release.
