Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom

I decided to try this on a whim not knowing this would eventually become one of my favorite games within the genre. There is enough blood, sweat and tears to go round, with romance on top. The main story is good but it becomes better as it branches out into the routes. This game is somewhat more difficult than it's vita ports regarding the navigation of the routes, making it easy to miss out on some details. The story is captivating, the art is really beautiful and the voice acting is simply awesome. I really recommend this game, be it on the PSP or the Vita ports, as the skeleton of the story remained virtually intact, save for a few minor details.

One of my favorite otome games out there. Great story and characters. It feels both light and dark in its setting, but that is what makes it great and brings forth great emotions.

The game has English text with Japanese voice-overs, and is a really interesting introduction to the Shinsengumi and its captains - with an interesting supernatural twist.

There are plenty of paths and endings to explore, so you certainly won't run out of things to do with this game. All in all, highly recommended - there's plenty of play for your money, so you'll always keep coming back for more!

Great!!
An interesting plot, really cool designs and with the awesome original voices!!!
Can't stop playing it again and again.
