Sailor Moon Dating Simulator: Sailor Saturn Review

Overview

Sailor Moon Dating Simulator: Sailor Saturn delivers a niche experience that struggles to justify its existence beyond die-hard franchise enthusiasts. The game's repetitive structure and shallow character interactions create a dating simulation that feels more like a chore than a charming romantic adventure. While the premise holds nostalgic appeal for Sailor Moon devotees, the execution fails to capitalize on the source material's potential, resulting in an experience that quickly becomes monotonous despite its short play sessions.

Repetitive Romance Mechanics

The core dating loop revolves around a baffling economic system where players inexplicably receive $5,000 daily to purchase extravagant gifts for Sailor Saturn. While these presents temporarily boost affection meters, they paradoxically shorten date duration—a design choice that feels less like a meaningful trade-off and more like an escape hatch from tedious interactions. The gift-giving mechanic quickly reveals itself as the primary engagement driver, overshadowing any attempt at meaningful dialogue or relationship building. Dates follow rigid patterns where players answer the same recycled questions, creating a cycle of déjà vu that undermines any sense of progression or discovery.

The dates continue day after day with mindless repetition and she continually cuts them short with no warning or ceremony.

Characterization and Engagement Issues

Sailor Saturn emerges as a disappointingly flat romantic interest, lacking the depth and personality that might salvage the repetitive structure. Her dialogue options feel mechanical rather than character-driven, with conversations failing to evolve meaningfully regardless of player choices. The promised romantic payoff requires navigating a minefield of identical interactions where selecting "wrong" answers becomes more appealing than enduring another cycle of stilted small talk. This creates a peculiar dynamic where players actively sabotage dates just to experience any variation in outcomes, highlighting the experience's fundamental lack of emotional resonance.

Technical Workarounds and Limited Appeal

The game's most revealing element surfaces in player discoveries about file editing—where modifying text documents can adjust item prices and dialogue. This unintended "feature" speaks volumes about the experience's fragility, suggesting even its creators recognized the need for player intervention to combat monotony. While this backdoor customization offers temporary relief, it ultimately underscores the lack of substantive content beneath the surface. The game's sole redeeming quality appears to be its franchise connection, providing just enough nostalgic dopamine for the most devoted Sailor Moon completists to endure its shortcomings.

The Sailor Moon franchise is an extremely popular children's television show from Japan. As with most cartoons aimed at children, it has attracted a large following of people who should really know better. From one of them comes a dating simulator starring one of the characters. As with other dating sim games, please don't mistake this for real life or use it as a guide for successful dating. No date ever goes like any of the ones in this game. For example, no date, no matter how successful has resulted in either party gaining five thousand dollars at the end. Each day you gain five grand with which to buy extravagant gifts. These gifts make her happy and also reduce the length of the date considerably, which is good, because she is boring. Try as I might, I can't treat this game kindly in order to not offend Sailor Moon fans. Both characters (you and the girl) are exceptionally dull and being nice results in exactly nothing. The dates continue day after day with mindless repetition and she continually cuts them short with no warning or ceremony. Attempting to follow the game accurately and get her on a date is just painfully difficult and you'll find yourself picking the wrong answer to her inane questions just for something to happen. If you can keep your focus and repeat your answers to the same questions, there is a chance you may successfully get her in the end. For the rest of us, it's just a game which is too dull, too long and way, way too awkward. Avoid this game if you're not a Sailor Moon fanatic.

Its great. But gets boring after awhile. -CHEAT-To change almost everything in the game, edit the readme files.-i.e.-Change the prices of the items. You can also change the things the girl should tell you. But remember: cheaters never win!
