Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds

Why didn't I play this classic earlier????? absolute peak 🙌

Played it in 2021, so... I'm afraid it's not fresh, but it's one of the first otome games I played and mixing this one with Edo Blossoms I threw into this games over 200h combined, so it has a soft spot in my book. I remember wondering why the bad guys sometimes looked even better than some of the LI's... I'm still kinda mad about it lol So, I personally played all routes before moving onto Edo Blossoms, because I didn't want to spoil stuff from other routes (even though the events shouldn't be very susprising since it's based off real people and situations, but.... whatever), but some people prefer doing a route in both games, then move onto the next one. I also played this nonstop until I finished it, but since there are so many LI's and the routes are long, idk if I would recommend doing that. Besides all this, I really enjoyed the game, some routes more than others, but it is what it is, considering how many routes there are. My only actual complain is... why on earth do these games take so much space? I had to erase them and I'm pretty sure the save data won't be there anymore if I dare install it again, which is sad.

i love u saito

I understand now what it mean when they said "you don't need game play when the story is great enough" this game feel just like when I watch anime as a kid. everything ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slow but is fun. I'm a bit upset that we can't fight by our own but I guess it because we didn't belived our dad word to study sword

Hakuoki Kyoto Winds is the first part of the 'Demon of the Fleeting Blossom' bundle, it focuses on the connection between the MC & LI's in a non-romantic way (or at the very least with little romance). It's a great prologue for the main story in 'Edo Blossoms'! Would recommend if you're into historical otomes and are planning on buying the full bundle

It's fun to play, but it might feel boring during some parts of the story since it is trying to fit into the history background. Skipping read text by O key is very helpful so you don't need to read them all again. One thing to note is that you might end up in the normal ending if you don't focus on a specific one character. Some characters' routes are harder to get into, so using the guide in the community is recommended. I'm not really looking for romance but more like reading a story, and every ending has been fun by now, I highly encourage to look through them all.
