Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S

About

Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S is a 2D fighting game that pits the iconic magical girl warriors against each other in a battle for dominance. You pick from nine characters including the Inner and Outer Senshi plus Chibiusa, then square off in three-round matches set across Tokyo landmarks. Combat mixes button-mashing brawls with timed special moves triggered by directional combos, letting you unleash each senshi’s signature attacks. The camera constantly adjusts its zoom based on fighter positioning, adding a dynamic layer to the action. Each matchup requires strategy as you work to win two rounds before facing tougher opponents in a progression that culminates against Super Sailor Moon. The game’s charm lies in its roster depth and responsive controls. While not as technically refined as later 3D fighters, it captures the anime’s energy with vibrant visuals and character-specific animations. It remains a niche pick for series fans, with a 72/100 on Metacritic reflecting its cult status. The 3DO platform’s hardware quirks don’t hurt its retro appeal, and the challenge of mastering each senshi’s playstyle keeps matches fresh. A straightforward but enjoyable entry for those who grew up with the ‘90s cartoon.
