Hakuoki Edo Blossoms

amazon Hakuoki Edo Blossoms reviews

It can be compared to Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms is a fantasy reality story, bringing players into the flow of Japanese history, but blending more mystical features to bring the content to a new sky, with many knots that you might not expect. At the beginning of the story, the little girl Chizuru begins her journey to Kyoto and is helped by the boys in the Shinsengumi police force to find her father. And she found her father … well, if everything is so simple, then nothing good anymore. The more you embark on the journey, the more terrifying and scary secrets are revealed, enough to “distort” everything you initially thought about the context, story, and characters. So what will you discover?… It depends on who you choose.

As the female lead Chizuru, you will experience the story of the game with one of 12 boys, 12 paths. The content of each person’s story of course will have in common, but separate branches, containing separate details, revealing the hidden corners of the soul and the good and evil side of each character. Then, in each branch, there will be many situations with different options. Choosing a right and you will get to the end, and choosing many wrongs will “drive” Chizuru’s fate to the brink and end the story immediately.

But the beauty of Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms not only stops at the plot variation but also at the beginning of the emotions. The stories of the 12 characters will bring you all kinds of emotions, suspense, happiness, sorrow, and grief everyone has. If you want a sad aftertaste feeling, do not ignore the story of Okita Souji, but if you want the moments of true happiness, the story of Sanosuke Harada will warm your heart.

Finally, Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms is a sequel to Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds with a two-part storyline. So obviously to understand the plot of this game, you must remember to play the first part first.

With a visual novel, the plot is paramount, but other elements are smaller but enough to make up a valuable feature of the game. So Idea Factory does not want to miss any “grain” that affects the player experience in a famous game like Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms.

Looking at the graphics and sound, the “handsome” look of the characters is revealed through each drawing line, combined with elegant Western European-style outfits that show off the charm of each guy. Extremely good image quality, sharp, mixed with sparkling effects ensure a Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms is at the top of the most beautiful and attractive visual novel titles. Not only stopping at the image of “handsome boy”, but each character is also voiced quite meticulously and accurately, ensuring the expression of the “god” through each person’s tone. The music in the game is also being praised, enough to blow the soul of the game’s atmosphere to suit each scene.

In addition to the picture and sound, the game also has many notable features. The game’s Encyclopedia will answer your questions during the game. If you miss a certain part of the story, the game can show you the history of conversations, so you can “rewind” and start reading from the part you want. A very special function of the game is “Record of Service”, which allows you to start a chapter with arbitrary high and low sentimentality to easily discover new situations, the missing ending of the game.

Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms is simply a game “must play” with those who love the genre of Otomo. Is it worth the experience? Isn’t it great? Not sure.

Hakuoki’s biggest problem: Edo Blossoms is in two words: texture. The game chooses to spread out a story under 12 characters, 12 abilities, 12 paths. That would probably increase the game’s multi-dimensional depth but perhaps decrease its depth. You probably won’t feel a strong attachment to a guy, simply because the time spent with them is not long enough, not enough to grasp the character development, and there are 11 other people “lining up row “after that. More than that, will you be patient enough to read all 12 stories in the same context?

After all, the way that Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms chooses to express its own identity is not wrong, but it has “bent” the game content in a direction that some people may not be satisfied with. If you want a long, rich, overflowing story, maybe Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms will find it difficult to please you.
