Steam has been around for over ten years, yet it was only within the last few that visual novels finally got their chance to shine on the digital distributor. Since those first formative steps, and the introduction of Steam Greenlight, the service has been absolutely swamped with all manner of visual novels. With that said, it was in 2014 that developer Winged Cloud launched Sakura Spirit on Steam and stumbled on the fact that gamers were looking for titles with copious anime fanservice. Since then, they’ve created not one or two but five other titles in the Sakura series, with even more on the horizon. As of right now, the latest is Sakura Swim Club is completely unrelated story wise to any previous entries.
The premise is quite simple. You play as the new guy in school named Kaede whose father is a total prodigy that made a great name for himself over the years. Unfortunately, he pushes Kaede to be just as incredible — and as such, he does everything in his power to stay decidedly average. School is outrageously boring to Kaede but something about this newest one draws him in. There are rumors about the swim club that keeps everyone away. It’s this total mystery which pushes him to pursue the truth, and join the club in the process. There he finds just two other members: Hiromi and Mieko. Although both initially lash out at him (related to the fellow just always being in the right place to see fanservice sequences), they quickly welcome him to the team as the third member of their swim club.
From there, the story takes itself in a fairly predictable trajectory, with a variety of super dramatic subplots thrown in before they’re ultimately ignored. The writing stands about average with Sakura titles which is to say it’s comprehensible but not particularly an enjoyable read. Alongside a few typos remaining in the current version, there’s a real lack of creativity or spirit to the cast. Both Mieko and Hiromi are caricatures who in no way feel realistic. Kaede, while given a bit of an interesting backstory, acts more as a viewpoint for players to get an eyeful of anime skin than to become an interesting guy in and of himself. Other characters, such as Kaede’s parents and a dutiful teacher get even less characterization and act as incredibly simplistic means to progress the plot. They might as well have spoken like the adults in a Charlie Brown cartoon.
With all that said, it may actually be unfair to criticize Winged Cloud for their games’ writing because it is becoming increasingly obvious what the goal of their work is. The Sakura series was never meant to be the Citizen Kane of visual novels. It was meant to be a way to get some sexy anime art into the hands of folks who appreciate that sort of thing. So, let’s look at it from that viewpoint.
Even then, it’s fair to say that Sakura Swim Club does not attain its goals, and in fact makes a bit of a fool of itself in the process. First, the fanservice in the Steam release is ridiculous in its frequency as well as its inability to titillate. Sakura Spirit may have once enticed gamers with its shocking displays of shiny cleavage, but the series has since gone quite far with depictions. This game actually steps back from that with less-revealing, if more eye-rollingly implausible CG.
Now, some fans may be shouting at the screen about the fact that there is an uncensored patch freely available for Sakura Swim Club. I am aware and, as the dutiful reviewer that I am, installed it and played the game through once again to get a complete view of what Winged Cloud did. This is the first time sex sequences have been implemented in a Sakura game, but they very likely won’t be the last. Again, you cannot get these scenes just by purchasing a copy on Steam. Without delving too much into the topic, there are four (five if you count an alternative scene) sequences in all and each last about a minute. It’s very obvious that this is their first foray with such material and it lacks any real finesse because of it. Again, while Sakura Swim Club aims for erotic intensity, it is simply a dud in that department.
So what is left to make Sakura Swim Club stand out? This game still retains the same art style as almost all the other releases (barring Sakura Beach ). If you like that, that’s great, but there’s nothing more to say about the anime artwork. Well, aside from the artist’s (or director’s) obsession with ensuring certain characters wear striped underwear every day of their lives. The music is rather goofy and tends to make the whole game feel like it treats itself as a joke. If that’s the case then the developer is definitely laughing their way to the bank with how many sales these games continue to generate. Most players should be able to beat this visual novel in one to three hours. Despite a few choices here and there, the story plays out the same, meaning you can’t even work for additional endings.
Closing Comments:
Sakura Swim Club is a visual novel for people who don’t really care about visual novels. If you do hold an affinity for the genre then you’ve probably dismissed the series up to this point. Continue doing so, at least until a title distinguishes itself from the lineage of its predecessors. This is not that game. Instead of attempting to hone their craft with a more nuanced, interesting story (as seemed to be the case with Sakura Fantasy Volume 1 ), they’ve veered fully into the path of pure fanservice. At this point, though, they are still a long way from mastering such a singular focus.

Sakura Swim Club is a Visual Novel and was developed by Winged Cloud and was released in 2015 on PC. It was then published by Gamuzumi for Console on September 23rd, 2021.
*Disclaimer: A code was provided to me by the publisher for the purposes of this review. That does not affect my opinions. As my thoughts are mine and mine alone.
Kaede is once again transferring schools. It’s the 3rd university he’s been to and his father is hoping that he will finally get his act together to figure out what he wants to do with his life. Though Kaede’s father wants him to follow in his footsteps. As he’s a big successful man that everyone knows the name of. What is it that he does? Who knows. He could be a surgeon, or judge, or lawyer, or a hot shot business billionaire! It’s never really explained as to what he truly does.
On Kaede’s first day of school, he’s told by his teacher that he should join a school club. Of course there’s the typical basketball, and baseball and what not. But then there’s the Swimming Club, that the teacher highly advises against. As you decide to go to the school pool to see the club, you meet Mieko and Hiromi. Your adventures then begin to really kick off. So you try to balance your school work, while also getting swim practice in. I’ve got to to be honest, I actually really enjoyed this story a whole lot more than I expected.
I half expected the game to just be a poorly written adventure that focuses mostly on filthy jokes or really pushes the lewd portions of it all to be “sexy”. As I’ve played quite a few Visual Novels that don’t really focus on anything, but throws lewd at you kind of out of context. But this is really well done! You find out that Kaede has a lot of his own struggles with his parents and why he’s always transferring schools. You find out why the Swim Club seems to only have two members and why everyone always advises against joining the club. Mieko and Hiromi aren’t just cardboard cut-out bimbos with big breasts either. They actually have personality. At one point they actually have breakdowns with Kaede about their own struggles and it makes them feel like real characters.
Through all of the game, because of the characters and the writing, I laughed a whole lot. Mostly because of the competitive nature of the Mieko and Hiromi, but I also got choked up. I wanted everyone to succeed. I wanted everyone to be happy. I was very surprised though when there was literally just one ending. I won’t spoil it though, but it did have me laughing a lot. Maybe I’m just easily amused. The game definitely needed a grammar check before it was released though. As there were quite a bit of spelling and grammar errors. Though a lot of people find those funny, there were some lines I had to re-read a few times to understand what was actually trying to be said.
With no alternate endings, that also brings us to the other thing that I kind of didn’t like about the game. Your dialogue choices just don’t matter. You can say what you’d like, and the characters will react to each choice differently, but at the end of the day, you get to the exact same conclusion. Why even bother putting in dialogue choices at that rate? Some choices did make me giggle at the responses though, and I checked every single one after I realized that they don’t matter. Yes it sucks that there’s only one ending. But at the same time, at least I didn’t need to make a billion saves, and eventually get angry trying to get that one specific ending. But there are a ton of CG images you get, of the girls in very sexy positions. Winged Cloud really pushes the boundaries of censorship in this let me tell you. So maybe don’t play it when others are around.
I actually really enjoyed this Visual Novel. It was funny, the characters were awesome, and the story was more than I expected. The game itself lasts 3-5 hours depending on how fast you read. Yes there are no multiple endings, but again that’s okay. So I never got angry when I couldn’t figure out that last ending. I highly recommend this if you want a silly little read. But again, maybe play it when no one’s around. You will be judged by others because of the contents of the CG gallery.
