Play Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon - Another Story (Japan) [En by FuSoYa v1.0] (~Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon - Another Story) Online

Okay, so Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Another Story is this surprisingly deep SNES RPG that never got an official English release (thankfully there’s a fan translation). It’s one of those games where you think, "Oh, it’s just a Sailor Moon tie-in," but then it turns out to be a legitimately solid JRPG with some clever mechanics.

You control all the Sailor Scouts—plus a few extras—and the combat lets you mix and match teams of five. The cool part? Characters can combo their attacks, like Moon and Mars teaming up for a fire-and-moonbeam special. But don’t get too comfortable—even if you grind like crazy, enemies stay tough, and some fights will wreck you if you’re not paying attention. And yeah, EP (energy points) drain fast, so you’re constantly balancing flashy magic with basic attacks.

The story’s actually engaging, which shocked me. It’s an original plot, not just rehashing the anime, and there’s this weird time-travel twist that keeps things interesting. That said, there are a few spots where you’ll get stuck—like one infamous part in the Crystal Palace where the game heavily implies you should leave, but if you do, you’re trapped in an endless loop of random battles. (Pro tip: Stay inside and search for a hidden path instead.)

My only real gripe? Some areas spam enemies nonstop on a timer, which gets old fast when you’re backtracking. But if you can overlook that, it’s a hidden gem with way more strategy than you’d expect. Definitely worth a play if you’re into old-school JRPGs with a twist.
