Game Review:

Gameplay: The usually otome game where the heroine just choose what to say is something I like but in here, Christina will choose what she wants to do in her free time wherein if she misses an event then the game will lead to bad ending.So in here, the player must pay attention on what the minor characters are saying. It's not like I hate it but I prefer the usual otome gameplay style.

Art/Design: The drawings are great and all but hmm... how should I put it... the guys eyes are small while he heroine's eye is too large, I'm not saying that they should be equal but it just bothered me. I even don't like the character design on Lezette.

BGM/OST: Yes, it's good. I can listen to it over and over again.

Story: So far, I like the story. The men are possessive and overprotective to the heroine. The story even has some VERY tragedic ending where one of them is killed and that is what I call a bad ending. We can even learn a moral lesson in the story like not judging people by their looks or race (you know, racist).

Characters: I like Christina because she's a butt kicking princess and even the story is good with a mixture of gore. Gardis is great and all but my fave char is Jin because he has a sadistic personality that just make me swoon over him. Lezette is... well... I don't like him much because of his goody-two-shoes kind of attitude and that is not my cup of tea. Although I do like his friendship with Gardis. Their voices are great and this is the only otome game that I've encountered where the Heroine has a voice.

Final Thoughts: Overall, this game is a must play for otome gamers who can't read Japanese because it has an english patch. My cousin even likes it when I showed it to her. I tell ya, the story is good and even worth playing it over and over again.
