Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds

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 the games compatability mode to win 8 or older. If you are interested in getting into otome as a whole, this story is a great starting point, you can even persue the villian. I'm strongly biased because of his voice actor being my fave japanese voice actors ever. I just wish the two games where listed as one and connected because for PC it doesn't make sense to have them seperate, it's just a waste of time, especially for those that buy one not knowing. It's not clear unless you jump into the reviews.

Although the stories aren't exactly romantic, they're still pretty good and engaging. I'd say it's a bit of a shame that there are so many overlapping scenes you have to play through. It can make the game repetitive after the first couple of times. There is a fast forward button, but it would be nice if there were more differences in the stories.

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?
