Winged Sakura: Mindy's Arc 2

Winged Sakura: Mindy's Arc 2 is a tower defense game and a sequel that can be played without the prequel. After recovering her memories and leaving the dimensional world, Mindy Akumori finds her nation, Hysteria, on the brink of war. She joins its military and trains under her sister Cindy Akumori, a highly ranked commander.

Mindy is sent east after enemy nations use a forbidden spell to disable and overcome Hysteria’s defenses, conquering most of the nation in one stroke. She readily accepts the order, but encounters the unexpected, and something dangerous begins to stir.

Story and characters

The story spans 15 chapters across two arcs. The first includes comedic character and side stories as Mindy heads east. The game has 17 playable characters, and you can customize your units with over 25 equippable Powers, each with its own passive ability.

Tower defense

You plan your defenses and overwhelm enemies by materializing time-ticking units on the battlefield or casting powerful spells. Units can equip items to improve their capabilities. Using a skill can trigger the Bond Abilities of specific Unique units, which let them perform powerful actions. Minzy and Nino’s Bond Abilities can grow stronger as you raise their Affection by completing their story events.

Progression and items

You level up to earn skill points, which you use to learn and upgrade skills. Items come from crafting and clearing stages; you can enchant and uncap them to maximize their stats. In Free Battle stages, you can increase the drop rate of a rare item you want, guaranteeing it will drop within a few clears.

Post-game challenges

Progressive Survival Mode pits your units against up to 100 waves and rewards you with powerful items. A checkpoint is created for every 10 successful wave clears, so you can farm for specific end-game items. After clearing all 100 waves, you can continue indefinitely, but no further checkpoints are saved. The mode also features difficult boss fights that call for well-equipped units.

Leaderboards and cards

You can compete on leaderboards and obtain emoticons designed for the Winged Sakura series.
