Stuck my hand in a random box for this week’s #RandomGameSaturday and pulled out… the official Hong Kong PC release of Sakura Wars 4! Nice picture discs, aren’t they? :D

A photo showing the box for Sakura Wars 4 (PC). Sakura and Erica stand back to back with their weapons ready as cherry blossom petals swirl around them.

A photo of the first disc. The art is a cropped version of the cover illustration, on a watercolour style yellow background .

The second disc features Erica and Sakura in their battle gear, both striking a feisty pose and ready to attack.

A photo of the third dad , Erica and Sakura remain in battle gear but are now joined by their captain, Ogami. The image is a little more stoic than the one before.
