Sakura Revolution features a turn-based battle system called “Command Line Battles.” Players can position allies in three different tactical positions: Attacker, Support Attacker, or Repeller. Attackers are rather standard and hold the line while striking head-on. Support Attackers deal damage from a distance while building up energy. Lastly, Repellers are a more defensive type.
Additionally, the allies’ battle armor has three varieties of artillery: Direct, Shooter, and Spot types. The Direct type is a balanced class that can attack along one line. Shooter types can attack along two lines, though enemies can take them out easily, too. Finally, the Spot types can attack along two lines, but the attack closest to them will be quite weak.
