Product Details:

Japan's Edo Period was drawing to a close. The shogunate, who'd held power in the country for more than 200 years, found itself challenged by the imperial court, and by several domains who had chaffed under shogunal rule. In this midst of this political unrest, an organization rose to prominence: the Shinsengumi. Originally formed to protect the street of Kyoto from dangerous ronin, they came to represent the last, tragic bastion of the honor-bound samurai culture that had defined much of Japan's history.

In Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom, a young woman comes to Kyoto in search of her missing father, and soon encounters danger and the Shinsengumi in quick succession. When it becomes clear the Shinsengumi are also searching for her father, she is put under their protection. But odd things are afoot in Kyoto - possibly even supernatural happenings. Can she navigate this maze of mortal danger and political intrigue? Amidst so much mystery and death, can she find romance?

Key Features:

One of North America's First Otome Games: Experience a historical fantasy adventure while pursuing a relationship with one of several male love interests in a game specifically created for a female audience - one of the first of its kind localized for North America.
Experience a New Kind of Adventure: Enjoy a visual novel filled with beautiful illustrations and changing character portraits. Examine character biographies, check your story progress, and replay scenes you've already watched.
Chose Your Own Fate with Multiple Endings: The story is told through the eyes of one young woman, but the player will be presented with a number of decisions she must make. The result of these choices will determine her ultimate fate, and the fate of the men of the Shinsengumi.
Introduction to the Hakuoki Franchise: Hakuoki is a series that enjoys major popularity in Japan among the gaming populace. Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom has even received an anime adaptation.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers

I'm a huge fan of Japanese history (samurai mostly) and yes, I'm an anime fan as well so this game was all that and a bag of chips. I'm so happy I found out about this game from the American publisher via You Tube or else I would have never found out about it. I wasn't at all disappointed.

I'm no stranger to the history behind the lives of the Shinsengumi's most recognized leaders so there were no real surprises as to some of their fates. I did like how you were able to alter that by going one route or another. I'm new to otome games and I fell in love with the whole concept.

The game itself was lush, colorful and absolutely gorgeous. The voice acting was left intact from the Japanese original and I was tickled pink to actually recognize several of them in particular Shotaro Morikubo and Kosuke Toriumi. I was expecting a dub which happens so often but was happy they left it as is. It would have totally destroyed the atmosphere. The sound effects and in-game music were much to be desired but the intro and outro themes were superb.

All in all this was a fantastic experience and I hope more games in this series and more otome games altogether make it over here. I also hope they bring the PS3 version of this game over as well. I'd be first in line to buy them.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers

I was anticipating this game hardcore, and it definitely went beyond my expectations. The art is utterly stunning, and the gameplay is excellent. The music was a bit disappointing, but overall fits in nicely. Being very text-driven, this game would appeal to both casual gamers and hardcore gamers, like myself, as well. It's fun to see all the side stories depending on which character you get close to and compare it to the anime adaptation!

I've always wanted to play this game, being the huge Kazuki Yone fan I am. I love all of her art work and this game blows my mind! With multiple endings and gallery collects along with many other things, it keeps the game going! And yes you can change the protagonist's name.
Although I do believe this game to run towards the female audience instead and you can't really compare this game to the Anime (I don't watch Anime so I can't really say) because the art is completely different. I've looked up some pictures for the Anime of Hakuouki that people were talking about and I just told myself "No"... I highly prefer game than Anime because you get bad insights (or girls get jealous which I find funny, according to forums) about the main character. You must play the game to know the TRUE story! I hope more comes out because there are more out there!

I can be a hardcore gamer sometimes but it depends on which genre of game. Being a big DMC fan, I was a little unsure about this one since most games like these lose their appeal quick.....but this one.....IT WAS AMAZING!!! I have spent countless hours and days playing it and I haven't reached the half way point yet. Sometimes you can predict what can happen, but this game keeps you on your toes! The art, detail and music are incredible!!!!! I really hope they release more of the franchise here!!!

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers

After playing Hakuoki, I can see why this game has been such a hit in Japan. (The PS3 version is actually the first otome game to be released on the PS3). With a mix of war, romance, fantasy and history, this game has an incredibly compelling story. The Japanese voice acting job is incredible. Many of the voice actors are considered top knotch and it shows. The art is also stunning and while the background music isn't to die for, it is still enjoyable. This game is text-driven, so I would recommend this to anyone who likes to read in their spare time.

While i am a straight male i am thinking of buying this game as i am a sucker for a good story as long as it has drama, romance, fighting, and some humor. Be you male or female take pride in what you play and enjoy the heck out of it if your the target audience or not.

Wow, I really can't believe they're bringing this series the U.S.!! I watched both seasons of the anime, and I do confess that my inner fangirl absolutely fell in love. Nevertheless, the art is stunning and the characters are amazing. I'm looking forwards to this game SO much!

I would hardly count Yo-Jin-Bo as a proper Otome game. Sure it had all the elements, but it was AWFUL! Way too short, horribly tacky jokes, and the story was boring.
I am not surprised Yo-Jin-Bo did not turn people on to Otome games.

Luckily, Aksys is putting out a much better Otome game for us. So, hopefully many people will pick this up and games like the one you mentioned (which looks very good) and Hiiro no Kakera will soon be in our eager hands! ;)
