Sakura Spirit > Sakura Angels > Sakura Fantasy > Sakura Beach > Sakura Swim Club > Sakura Beach 2 > Sakura Santa
I may have gotten a couple of titles mixed up, but that's the general order. As far as the stories go, they're all their own separate stories and aren't connected (bar the 2 Sakura Beach games) so you would be fine picking any of them and going from there if you liked the general style.
Hopefully that helps a little!
All the Sakura NVLs have different stories and none of them are related to each other except for Sakura Beach 1 and 2. You can start with any of them, but I would recommend that you play them in release order to appreciate little gameplay-wise the improvements Winged Cloud, based on feedback, made to the series over time.
TL:DR
(1) Get Sakura Angels as your first title!
(2) Sakura series are mostly ''kinetic'' VN's meaning there is no actual gameplay, the only thing you do is read the story like a book and make various choices, which will determine what special pictures (CG's) you get to see, which girl you (romantically) end up with and what ending you will get.
Full version, long read (I'll try to spoil as least as possible) (hardcore = fully uncensored)
Sakura Spirit: 1st title in the series, has an interesting, but badly executed story about a guy who wants to become a hero by winning the world championships in Judo, but somehow got teleported to another world, where he becomes a ''hero'' but not in Judo. It has a lot of fan-service (semi-naked ''erotic'' moments) This game was made with the thought of a part 2, but part 2 will not be made, so I suggest not to get this one (at least not for your first Sakura game)
Sakura Angels: 2nd title in the series, and my personal favourite, has a pretty interesting story, which is executed in such a way that it could easily be adopted into an Anime spin-off. The story is about a guy who is having strange visions about some old, evil and powerful impending force. Later in the story he will meet two girls who will help him fight this evil force. The game has two ''routes'' for each of the girls and three different endings. The music is awesome and there is no cliffhanger since this story is isolated. I would suggest getting this one for your first Sakura title.
Sakura Fantasy: 3rd title in the series, and my second favourite, has the most ''normal/adventure-game''-type story of all Sakura games. It's about a battle-girl/soldier who trains to be a royal guardsman. One day a star falls from the sky and the empress of the land where this whole story plays orders Raelin (you) and some other girls to find the star. Problem is that the star fell into a dangerous swamp where supposedly nobody get's out alive. The game setting is fantasy/medieval. The first major difference between Fantasy and the other titles is that it's a lesbian story, all the ''erotic'' moments are girl-on-girl, second difference is that you can choose between three girls to ''romance'' (there is, however, only one ending, which is also a big cliffhanger. It's not sure that a part two will be made since the project is halted. The last major difference is that Fantasy has an adult patch. If you decide to patch the game, it will contain full-on hardcore lesbian moments. Yes, full-on hardcore stuff you could find on sites such as xhamster, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and hentaihaven, so be prepared for that. I would say that either Fantasy or Angels would be a good first title. Also, a lot of people say that this game is (heavily) influenced by Attack On Titan.
Sakura Beach: 4th title in the series. This game has a different artist so the game does look completely different than the other games. It's your typical summer vacation love story, short and sweet. Basically, you are a guy who goes on a vacation with your two childhood friends who also happen to be girls. The girls have fallen in love with you, but you are too dense to notice that. The whole vacation are the girls trying to show you that they are in love with you, and that's the whole story of this game about. This game can be considered silly, but in a good way since it features quite a lot of slapstick humor (so far the only Sakura title who features actual comedy) However, there are a lot of ''drama-moments'' and existential crisis moments. It's also implied that at least two of the three characters had a traumatic past/childhood. The game has an ending for each girl. There is no hardcore nudity in Beach, since the artist who made Beach doesn't do hentai, of course there will be the typical ''ecchi'' moments. It's not a bad game, the beginning is quite slow, but towards the end (when more drama-moments appear) the game gets quite serious, and depending on personal experiences quite sad. I would not advise to buy this one for your first title, but as a title to get later on.
Sakura Swim Club: 5th title in the series. Basically it's a hentai, nothing more, nothing less. It's not a bad game, but the story is definitely not the main focus of the game. It's about a guy who has trouble fitting in/making friends (not because he's shy or whatever, but mostly because he's a douchebag), switches schools often and doesn't know what he wants to do after he is done with high school. This guy ends up in an after-school swimming club hosted by two girls. I can't say why, because that would be a major spoiler, but something bad went down, and that's why the club only has you and the two girls as active members. Every character has their own piece of drama. The guy has daddy issues, one girl has has to deal with accusations of destroying some other girl's life (this ties into the story-line) and the other girl has to deal with a sick parent. It's because of this that the three start to fall in love with each-other and a love triangle appears. Just like Fantasy, there is also a patch for Swim Club which adds hardcore erotica into the game, almost to the point that the last half of the game is only nude scene after nude scene after nude scene and no (important) story whatsoever. Since it's a love triangle there are no choices for which girl you like the most (you do them/they do you both) and there is only one (not a cliffhanger, but, IMO, unsatisfying and disappointing) ending. I would say that you can easily skip this title altogether if you're looking for ''decent'' storytelling, or get it way later when you've played other Sakura games. Like I said in the beginning, it's not a bad game, but this one is defenitely made for the uncensored nude scenes (as the most important part of the game)
Sakura Beach 2 (6th title) and Sakura Santa (7th title) are the newest titles. I have not played them yet so I can't say anything about them.
Then there is also Sakura Clicker. This is a completely separate game which doesn't have any story or connection to either of the Sakura games, so that's why I didn't include it in this post. Basically it's a facebook/mobile type of mini-game. I can't be bothered to play it, but maybe you would find the game interesting. I would suggest watching some gameplay footage of it on YouTube.
I hoped this helped you!
but!.........without patch its worse than replacing a fleshlight with a cheesegrater.
listen to mss47ag^ advice is bang on the money! give me a shout if you need patches or pointed in right direction for other h titles
In my last post I also forgot to mention that Angels and Swim Club have Japanese voice actors (for the girls) Angels had them for a while now and just a few days ago Swim Club got an update which added the voices. I can confirm that the hentai patch for Swim Club also works with the new voices. (Some people reported that it was either hentai and no voices, or voices, but no hentai, for me it works both without any issues)
thanks dude its like the gta v mods almost its a bit similar
Pro tip: if you happen to like these adult oriented games, you should check out Mangagamer. They have a ton more ecchi and hentai games there. Depending on what you find is acceptable and what is not (I say this because not every gamer appreciates/can handle certain levels of nudity and erotica in games, and Mangagamer has very tame stuff but also very extreme stuff) you could find something that is interesting to you. Indiegala currently has a deal with Mangagamer where you can buy a bundle of Adult Only games. It might be worth to take a look at it.
Anyway I wish you lots of fun playing through the Sakura games as well as discovering other VN's (both adult and non-adult)
are they all digital too
TL:DR version
--------------
Yes!
The Indiegala Mangagamer bundle is all digital yes. It fits within the Mangagamer system of digital only without steam keys. Other games on Mangagamer can be both purchased as digital only or physical in some specific cases and with certain titles. Depending on the title you will either get a free steam key of the game, or not.
Full version, pretty long read, some sidetracking in topics
-----------------------------------
Mangagamer does sell physical copies of certain titles, but not for every title. Basically, Mangagamer works with three types of systems: (1) only digital/with free steam key bonus, (2) only digital without steam key (because Steam decided that these titles are too sexually explicit to feature in the Steam catalogue and (3) physical copies.
I personally don't bother with the physical copies because I don't live in the States, and I don't want to deal with the ridiculous customs law & agency system of my country when it comes to goods sent from outside the European Union, but they do sell and ship hard-copy games worldwide if you so desire getting a physical disk.
If you opt for digital only then you, most of the time, will have ''situation a'' or ''situation b'', depending on the game.
Situation A - the game comes with a free steam key: basically, you have the option to choose to install the game oldschool-style by downloading the .exe file and installing it locally on your C: drive, or wherever you install your games, completely bypassing Steam and all of its benefits. If you choose to use the free Steam key, then simply add the code to your Steam account and proceed as normal when installing games via Steam. By choosing this method, you will have the game installed and all of the Steam benefits on top of that (achievements, steam overlay, chat time-tracking and whatnot)
Situation B - the game comes without a free steam key: basically, this is Steam saying ''sorry, but this game is too sexually explicit and we don't want that kind of stuff in our store'' In this situation, the install of the game is just like how we used to do it back in the days of Win 98/2000 by just launching the .exe file and locally install it. There is no Steam support whatsoever, but all of the games that you can get on Mangagamer are localized in English. So ultimately, the only difference between situation A and situation B is the Steam benefits package.
Note 1: Another retailer of VN's outside of Steam and Mangagamer is Denpasoft. They also operate under a situation B system (most of the time) Other than those three, you can find various native Japanese websites that sell VN's, both digital and physical. I can't read Japanese so I can't help you with those.
Note 2: You'll sometimes see the same game both in Steam and on one of the other retailers websites. In most cases these games are not the same. Say for example ''The Fruits Of Grisaia. Both Steam and Denpasoft have this title listed, but it's not the same game. The Steam version is completely different: all the original hentai scenes were completely removed and replaced by new bits of non-hentai story-line to make it passable as 17+. The version that Denpasoft has is the original version with all of the original storyline and hentai scenes intact, rendering the game 18+ and impassable by Steam's guidelines. Same thing goes for a lot of other games such as Huniepop, Everlasting Summer, If My Heart Had Wings, Eden*, Cho Dengeki Stryker and Nekopara vol.1. In the case of Nekopara vol 1, the censorship that Steam laid upon Nekopara (severely) hurt the overall story, emotional development and character development more than it did good. Yes, although the game had 75 minutes of intercourse, the dialogue that came with those scenes greatly advanced the overall story-line (I played both the censored and uncensored versions, if you have not played Nekopara vol. 1 yet I strongly recommend you to patch the game back to 18+ or buy the uncensored non steam version. There is a solid tutorial of that on YouTube if you want to know how to patch and make the patch compatible with Steam overlay and achievements)
By removing those scenes altoghether, just because it contains nudity, you damage the story and therefore the entire game, resulting in a situation where you pay full price and getting only 50% of the game delivered. In my book that's called robbery, and that is one of the reasons why uncensoring/restoring patches exist in the first place: people understand what the product is, what it contains and if they are mature enough to deal with the content that they will get by buying said product and want to get the full experience, the experience as to how the artists and game devs wanted the gamers to experience the game and not some butchered corporate censored version. That's another topic that's heavily discussed here in the VN section of Steam: should Steam allow fully uncensored/original 18+ VN in the catalogue? My stance on that is yes, Steam should allow 18+ nudity on their platform since they already feature all the other major 18+ elements within video gaming, such as extreme violence, drug (ab)use, fear, bad language, discrimination so on and so forth. A simple solution would just be to create a separate area within the Steam store, which feature all the 18+ VN's, and can only be reached, displayed to and bought by verified Steam users that are at least 18 years of age or above. A credit-card or Paypal account could be good methods of checking age.
But I'm getting sidetracked, and this is a whole different topic for a completely separate discussion. The point I was trying to make (in Note 2) was that when buying VN's, especially the ones that contain nudity, you should look carefully which version is which because most of the time the version you will find on Steam will not be the same as the version that you've found on other retailer's websites.
Note 3: Everlasting summer is very good VN and it's completely free in the Steam catalogue. It's a combination of different games and sub-genres within anime and lengthy at that too. It took me 15 hours to complete and was my very first VN game. The community has made tons of mods for the steam workshop if you want to change the direction of the story. There is also a nude patch available, in the case of this specific game completely unnessary to the story since the hentai scenes don't contain (extensive) dialogue, but he, it's free so why not; it certainly beats the, in the censored version, black-screen/skipping-screen.
Note 4: Recently I've stumbled upon another free VN and if I have to believe the stories, a lot of people seem to have enjoyed playing this game. I haven't played it yet, so I can't say anything about it. It's called Katawa Shoujo, you can do a Google search and the first link will take you to the devs' website.
i just wish that steam would just stop this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on censoring every vn game im tired of censorship it sucks ass and i wish that steam would just make a section thats for adults only that would be amazing if they did that ♥♥♥♥ id love to see all these vn games as they are instead of having to annoyingly downlaod patches and install them to my game folder thats a pain in the ass i wish that steam would make an adult only sction like some fourms ive been on then the kids who buy these vn games will have to wait till theyre 18
