What players say
PLEASE PLEASE AND PLEASE PLAY THIS OTOME VISUAL NOVEL. I can say with my full chest that Hakuoki is one of the best written otome visual novel that I have ever played. I dived into this series just to reminisce the high school-me watching the anime series, and I was a bit curious why this series is so popular in otome community despite being an almost 2 decades old otome game. I said the same thing in my review in...
First of all, this is a sequel, so play a route in Kyoto Winds before picking this up. I have only played the continuation of Hijikata's route in this game, but I was glued to it for hours. The romance of these two games is definitely a slow burn, but feels pretty realistic. I think it's well worth the time to see the pay off. Plus, the non-romantic plot and themes are pretty engaging, too.
This is part two of the game, Kyoto is part one. For anyone confused it's because this was ported to PC from PSVita. I always will love Hakuoki as it being the first otome game I got into when it released NA for PSP. I still own the box set I got. Now, this game has issues, and a lot of them are tech related because of it being ported over and them not caring that much about fixing those issues. Black screens, game...
