Doing 1 chapter between session. I want to better understand the context this time. Plz mute #mHwots if u don't want to see my rumbling! ;)
unlabelledView post →Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds is the first half of a two-part series, focusing on the history of the protagonist with the Shinsengumi. There is very little romance and whatever is there is extremely mild. Most routes will leave you wondering if the guy even likes you, sometimes the protagonist doesn't know her feelings either, but the story is interesting enough to keep pushing forward. I completed all routes and I gotta say that Iba and Sakamoto were top tier for me ♡ I'm very much looking forward to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The good: The story is nice, it tells you a lot about history and historical places. The graphics and music are pretty. Iba is a great guy and his route is interesting. Iba, Harada and Souma are ok guys. The game runs well, never had any bugs or issues. That's it about the good parts, there's a looot of bad things: Every other route is crazy. 9 out of 12 guys are toxic, full of red flags and MC falls for all of them, cannot do anything and acts like an idiot with massive self-esteem issues.…

unlabelledView post →Hello otome gamer friends. What was the first otome game you played? I'm curious how many people started with Hakuoki, lol. Yo-Jin-Bo was my first otoge, but it was Hakuoki that got me hooked on the genre.

unlabelledView post →I finished my Hakuoki replay!! It took a while to get through, but every moment was very much worth it. Wonderful game.
unlabelledView post →Great game, but the translation is WTF. I can speak Japanese so at least I can understand what they're actually saying, but I'd probably hate most of the characters if not for that. Like, for example, in Okita's route he reassuringly says something in Japanese which means "You're over exaggerating. I just went to grab the katana over there", and they translated it as this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mess: "Jeez, just give it a rest. Stop throwing a ♥♥♥♥♥-fit every five seconds. I'm just grabbing my sword." Like…

unlabelledView post →On the last route for Meiji Tokyo Renka, I really adore this game. It is such a fun otome it feels like it's the counterpart to Hakuoki. Historically based but more of a comedy rather than a tragedy.

unlabelledView post →This is part one of the game, Edo is part two. 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 crashing ect. Most of them got resolved for me by running in admin and changing…

unlabelledView post →Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds is a substantial otome visual novel that combines historical fiction, romance, political turmoil, and supernatural mystery within a dramatic interpretation of nineteenth-century Kyoto. Developed by Idea Factory and Design Factory and published by Idea Factory International, it follows Chizuru Yukimura, a young woman who arrives in Kyoto searching for her missing father. Her investigation quickly places her in the company of the Shinsengumi, drawing her into a dangerous…

unlabelledView post →I’m bouncing on my heels waiting for this to arrive. Also, pls play this game if you’re into Japanese history and/or romance visual novels. You can get it on Steam too, but be warned that that particular translation is very iffy. #Hakuoki

unlabelledView post →I might recommend this game if it were solely a historical visual novel (but that wouldn't remove the problem of historical revisionism and romanticization) but since Hakuoki is marketed as otome game, I cannot recommend it as such. It can be easy to fall for one or more of the love interests (I surely did) but the meaninglessness of the female MC that the narrative creates by always prioritizing the love interests and the lack of care given to her by both game and love interests, Hakuoki Kyoto…

unlabelledView post →I cannot begin to explain how much I love Hakuoki. This is my Roman Empire. I first played Hakuoki way back in the day on the PS3. The Kyoto Winds and Edo Blossoms duology is basically that game, but expanded; you get more characters to romance than you did back then, plus more scenes, more information, more lore. It's definitely an incredible experience. As for Hakuoki itself, this is one of the most powerful Otomes- dating games in visual novel format targeted toward women- that I have ever…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wake up. I think of this game. I go to work. I think of this game. I end work. I play this game. I savor every word and every moment like a fine sip of expensive wine. I go to bed (late). I think of this game. To say that this is the magnum opus of Otomes is an understatement. The storytelling is absolutely genius, woven together in a complex web of history, characters and emotions. Without spoiling anything, in some routes, you FEEL being watched by a character offscreen. You can almost…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FYI this game only contains half of each love interest's route. The other halves are in the sequel, Edo Blossoms. The intention is that you play Kyoto Winds, then Edo Blossoms and go back and fourth for each route, so get the bundle deal if you want to play this game fully. It seems like a rip off, but they broke it up because they added so much new content in these new iterations of the game (SIX new character routes! so TWELVE total) that they had to split it up this way. Kyoto Winds sets…

unlabelledView post →Finding out Hakuoki SSL was only going to have 2k LE copies like Hakuoki's previous Switch release led me to pre-ordering early. They eventually sold out of the first game, & this one would be in higher demand. My otome backlog grows. They don't know it makes me more powerful. #otomebsky

unlabelledView post →I am colourblind when it comes to these men I did every route and all endings and cried myself to sleep Best 3: Hijikata, Heisuke, Kazama. The CG of Hijikata with his hair down changed my brain chemistry forever However, there are loads of dodgy translation issues and weird grammar/spelling in this game. The sound is a bit weird on my steam deck too, Shinpachi's voice is (for some reason) way louder than everyone else's?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alphabet year isn't going too well... I thought I'd be much further into this by now and I'm running out of patience to start Hakuoki SSL 😅 Those were the days when I could get through a whole 30hr game in a week 🥲
unlabelledView post →A few years ago, I made an account on Twitter for the doodles I was drawing while replaying Hakuoki at the time. My friend is playing through the game for the first time, and I'm revisiting those doodles. I re-made that account here to keep going with the drawings, but ... uh ... kind of gave up.
unlabelledView post →Now that we are a mere month away from the release of Hakuoki SSL, I want to make an insane licensing prediction. East Asia Soft's next otome game will either be Hakuoki Reimeiroku OR they'll be the ones to crack the dam and get us a Rejet title. I have no basis for this. Just a feeling.
unlabelledView post →Oh no…. I think I lost my Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds Vita Game?! It’s not with my Edo Blossoms follow up. I know they re-released on switch but I have the collectors editions 😭 This sucks.
unlabelledView post →I'll limit myself to one boy per game >o< 1.) Souji Okita (Hakuoki) 2.) Yosuga (Olympia Soiree) 3.) Impey Barbicane (Code: Realize) 4.) Scien (Virche Evermore) 5.) Kent (Amnesia)

unlabelledView post →Great game if you're truly a fan of otome games and perhaps have seen the anime adaptation, it's heavily based on history but thank god for the encyclopedia. After completing your first run, the time spent on the other routes are honestly gonna be 80% of skip read and yet still take about 3h. This game feels more like a prologue with not much romance so you definitely need to get Edo Blossoms.
