Upcoming mobile otome games (23 Nov 2018)
And it’s time to update the old list of games that interest me as more new games have been announced and some of the games on the previous list have been released already.
Definitely at least trying
Crimson Clan
about a ‘game of despair’ that’s some sort of RPG??
nothing on gameplay yet
bias: Kazuki
release date: end of 2018
Wakidenai
sorcerers who help you regain the ability to feel and love after it is stolen from you by an evil sorcerer
still nothing about gameplay but apparently you have to form a team of sorcerers
bias: Kannagi
release date: end of 2018
Namu Amida Butsu: Utena
Buddhas fighting against demons and kleshas (revamp of the now defunct mobile browser game)
'battle game’ similar to Touken Ranbu & Bungo to Alchemist
bias: Shaka Nyorai
closed beta: end of 2018
Realive!
about exorcists called 'kagura bukan' who fight with swords and songs
nothing on gameplay yet but most probably a rhythm game of some sort?
release date: 2019
Arcana: Boundless Horizon
about fairy tale heroines who wished for happiness and were turned into boys
'miniature garden x ikemen training' game
bias: Lot (Red Riding Hood)
release date: 2019
Edit: Can’t believe I forgot this one!
Toraware no Palm: Refrain (Traditional Chinese ver.)
sequel to Toraware no Palm
mystery adventure dating sim??
release date: 2019 (they aim to release the Chinese one at around the same time as the Japanese one! Thank you, Capcom Taiwan!)
Undecided
Op8
you are the president of a brand-new talent agency
idol game, nothing on gameplay yet
bias: probably Yu coz he's 'eveyone's big brother' voiced by Atsushi Tamaru
release date: 2019
Etokare
zodiac animal boys
from gameplay released so far it might be a battle card game??
bias: Hitoshiki
release date: delayed till early 2019
[I want to like it coz of my yandere sheep boy voiced by Kouki Miyata but the gameplay screens revealed so far don’t really impress me...]
Catharsistage
you are the therapist/counsellor for idols, supposed to explore the darker side of the idol world
not quite sure what sort of game it is even after looking at some of the gameplay!
release date: 2019
Dankira: Boys, be dancing!
dancers
training + rhythm game, gameplay revealed so far looks really good
release date: 2019
Readyyy! Project
idols
training + rhythm game (??), have a feeling the release delay is coz Sega has decided to revamp the gameplay since the current gameplay doesn’t seem to incorporate any aspects of the awesome MV animations they have shown so far??
release date: 2019?? might be released after Yumeiro Cast ends??
[I’m losing interest in it honestly. The MVs are fantastic, the music is good and the character designs are pretty, but I’m just failing to connect to it... Plus can’t help thinking that something happened at Sega that made them have to choose between it and YumeCast... I’m still unhappy about that...]
Ken ga Toki (Traditional Chinese ver.)
swordsmen
there was Beta test version a month ago but I didn’t have time to try it, another one that I’m losing interest in actually
Edit: And forgot one!
Windboys
boy's brass band
nothing on gameplay yet
release date: 2019?
Edit edit: One more!
Kaikan Phrase Climax: Next Generation
idols, sequel to the manga/anime
