Today Sega released several official screenshots of its upcoming game Shin Sakura Taisen, also known as Project Sakura Wars for the western market.
A few more (unfortunately smaller) images were also includeed in a website update focusing on the bonds between the hero Seijuro Kamiyama and the heroines belonging to the new Floral Revue.
We get to see how the bond between them will become stronger as they interact in the adventure part of the game and fight together in the battle part.
This will make the girls stronger in turn depending on the actions taken by the player and how many enemies they defeat together.
By satisfying certain conditions in the battle part of the game, you can unlock a co-op attack with each girl that can be used once per mission.
Following a bespoke and romantic anime cutscene, the status of both the hero and the corresponding heroine will be greatly enhanced for a while.
You can check out all the screenshots below.
