Otome Recommendations and Reviews
A super fun otome and one I would suggest for people who plan on playing one. The story and art is beautiful and the soundtrack is a masterpiece. The characters themselves are very diverse when it comes to their looks and personalities and I adore them a lot. The international version of the game is two years late though, but if you plan on getting the Japanese one, it’s all up to date and production. The character development is so good and you’ll just love the characters in general.
Here’s a fan favorite. This is a fairly old game and the IOS version is a bit buggy in displaying the characters sometimes. But the story and characters themselves are awesome as frick like you will love them so easily. It’s updating as well but is up-to-date in production so you’ll be getting the same content as the Japanese version. It has a stage play, apparently an anime-in-progress (don’t hold me to that) and the game is just the best. I love it and I know you’ll love it.
Where do I start— oh yes, Eugene is best boi. This game is awesome and is one of the only otomes I’ve come across with a zombie apocalypse as it’s setting. I love the concept and characters (except for Scarlett, you’ll know why) and the pacing is good on my end. However you’ll need to spend a lot of money on the choices and items and overall, the game singles you out to make-do with one character who’s route mainly consists of the free choices. You can get money though by logging in and such or playing the tapjoy games but it’s time consuming and honestly really disrupts the flow of the game. The routes are mainly just one timeline of events with the character interactions more on the character you appeal/are appealing to (think of Mystic Messenger with choices.) But overall, my experience with DF was a good one and I hope to see more— I.e that one game that’s in full Korean,, please I need an English version I’m begging you.
Hey werewolf fans where you at. So this game is pretty decent and the characters are so well developed and diverse. Though the only complaint I have is that the “bridal lessons” (lessons you take to earn intimacy and such) is one-by-one and you don’t have the option to do all of it at once. This very much frustrates me but isn’t really bad and I wouldn’t mind if they didn’t change it. The story is kinda different for each character and it’s honestly a bit refreshing to know that a character has a different story in comparison to another. Overall, a good game which I’d recommend.
Oh yes, the infamous mystic messenger. So my issue with this mainly coincides with the fact that I have no time to log in every single hour of every day because I’m a bloody high school student— but the game itself was enjoyable. I like the characters a lot (aka Zen because yes) and the experiences in each storyline are diverse for each character yet still sticks with the main concept and event that’s happening. The concept of a text-based otome is new and I love it. Though hourglasses are what really pushes my buttons, since you have to pay using them to go back to play through chats you’ve missed. And I’ve learned this the hard way— you can’t progress if you haven’t, which is, understandable but it’s honestly too much trouble. Overall an enjoyable game, though it caused a lot of sleepless nights on my end.
I love this game. The art and graphics are beautiful, the interface is neat, easily traversable and unique to the game. The soundtrack is the best out of all of the aforementioned games, the character design and art, the mini games, the character development— I could go on and on. Though it does have a flaw like DF, where you have to pay for some of the choices, but it’s not as bad or needed and is just convenient for the player. This game is great for both guys and girls as well as for anyone in between or neither! You can choose your own pronouns and are introduced to a roster of characters of varying genders and have the same experience and content as any other player. This is a personal favorite which I love very much! The game is still updating for the last two routes, but you can enjoy still with the other four characters as well as side stories!
The name will throw you off, I promise you that. But it’s not so bad and is honestly the most convenient and easiest otome out of all of these in the list. They don’t have challenges or trials where you need a certain amount of intimacy or any paid options. Heck, you can blast through the game on your first day if you can seeing as you don’t need anything to keep playing through the episodes like tickets or all that. Most of all, the plot is great and the characters are diverse. The interactions are great and suits the character’s personality a lot. The soundtrack ain’t too bad either!! It’s a chill and cute game for laidback otome players.
8. Shall We Date: Blood and Roses AND Shall We Date: Angel and Devil +Reaper
(I put them together because I had the same concerns and overall rating for them)
These games comes from a title of a lot of other otome games like Mononoke kiss and all that. But B.A.R mainly focuses on monsters and vampires while ADR focuses on angels and demons (if you couldn’t get it from the title itself), the interface is the same trademark kind you’d see in the other titles of the Shall We Date series but the characters themselves as well as the plot are likeable. It’s been a while since I’ve played this game so I’m not sure if they changed some bugs I saw, but my main issue were the challenges. The challenges would take so long to complete and were the most frustrating thing in the entire game, most so for me to drop it and move on. It’s a good game with a lot of potential but the trials needs to be a bit more convenient for the players for them to able to enjoy the character and storyline.
9. 7 Hotties All My Husbands
Oh god yes. This game was the best from when I played it, the characters were so diverse and likeable as well as intriguing. Their different personalities alongside the ever-so-dramatic plot would keep you hooked for a LONG TIME. The trials were doable and convenient, the characters were loveable, they had enough interactions and the overall experience was breathtaking! An otome I would suggest for those interested in a dramatic romance where the plot thickens over time! And if you usually drop a game because there’s nothing after the main routes, they have side stories and events too!
Alright, so playing this game was awesome and overall I miss it a lot. I say I miss it a lot because I haven’t played in a very long time. This is because the game crashed a lot on my phone so I had to delete it. Though the plot itself resembles a Korean telenovela, the characters are the core of this game and is the reason as to why I love it so much after so long. Sylvester, my personal favorite, was a sweet boy and I honestly want to go back and replay the game if it’s been fixed. The plot and routes honestly made me swoon a lot, especially when it came to Sylvester.
Gosh darn it. So the company that made this game no longer exists so the game and the rest of the Love Academy series isn’t accessible anymore. But this game was the first otome I’ve played and is the most memorable one. I loved the characters, the plot, the art, the soundtrack— I’m really sad I can’t play it anymore. I might find it’s apk file somewhere but my paranoid ass probably won’t get it since as I said, I’m paranoid. But the game was such an amazing experience and honestly I just wanna spend time with Togo again because he was just that loveable.
Not sure if this really counts but—
Yes I know there’s six stars.
Ensemble Stars is an amazing game, it’s not a traditional otome (it is classified as such on Qooap) but it comes in a more card-collecting type of game where you can interact with the characters! Which btw, there’s like 54 of them.
The version of the game I’m playing is in Japanese tho, but there’s the Korean and Chinese versions too if you can understand those languages. It’ll be getting the English version most probably after the anime drops in a few months (June/July) since well, yes.
(Edit: the news about an english server is a rumor going on since the anime has been well-recieved as of late. There is no official announcement sadly :’)) )
The game is super fun and enjoyable, and to be honest the experience is either you’re super laid back and enjoying the time spent with characters or you’ve gone mad trying to get dias to get more cards. There is no in between.
You can choose the characters you want to “romance” and you can interact with them all at once (wow angas) and they have such an amazing soundtrack!! The game features different idol units which have their own songs and all that and it’s so cute! The songs are great and I love them a lot. (To those living in Japan, I envy you a lot since you can watch their live shows.) speaking of live shows, picture vocaloid concerts but instead of Miku or Luka or smth it’s groups of cute boys. They have physical copies of their albums—
So that’s gonna conclude this list! If y’all have any questions about these games just ask me!
