amazon Hakuoki Kyoto Winds reviews

The main character of the game is the girl Chizuru Yukimura. Her father went on a business trip away from home and gradually disappeared without a word. Tired of waiting but in vain, she was determined to set out for Kyoto – the capital of Japan at that time – to find her father.

On a cold night on the journey, she was attacked by a stranger, intending to steal the sword she was carrying. She tried to escape, and when she was about to be overtaken, another group of people suddenly stopped him. Chizuru thought she was saved but realized that this group of people had a bloodthirsty identity like a demon, directly killing the stranger. Just when these guys discovered and gradually moved to take her life, the Shinsengumi – a force similar to the police at that time – appeared and destroyed them. After that fateful meeting, she moved back in with the boys of the Shinsengumi, and together they continued to find her father.

The opening details above will surely remind you of a loving love story. An ordinary, weak girl needs to choose true love for the boys trying to conquer the muse. But no, the plot of Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds is simply beyond imagination.
Gradually, Chizuru Yukimura will uncover dark and dangerous secrets hidden from the Shinsengumi, her father’s past, and the blood flowing in her veins.

Covering the story in the game is not only the romance of love but the battles. The battle against the devil, friends, and loved ones, and the fight to get ahead of yourself. Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds will be a mysterious and unexpected journey for players.

Visual novels can be said to be a game genre with a simple structure. Because this series of games often do not have many play elements, only reading text and viewing images, the game’s core value is often carefully condensed in the plot. However, Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds has combined many different elements to bring the reading experience for players to the fullest.
First of all, the game gives players the ability to open history to playback from any text. If you miss a piece of content, you can not only re-enable the record to read, but you can also start the game from there. That way, you can review the text you missed and see the images and details again.

The next function is the giant Encyclopedia in the game. The game has a fictional plot but is set in a fairly accurate historical context. Therefore, to provide players with more knowledge about the event characters in the game and Japanese cultural history, the game saves many words that players encounter during the reading process separate part. The player can then go to this section to read more information about the reserved word. There are hundreds of terms related to characters, things, a history that you can learn more.
Next is the function of playing back the parts you like. When you read a book, you can go back to any detail you want, right? In Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds, there are 12 main male characters that you can “fall in love with.” Each character will have their scenes and conversations, depending on the choices you make in the game, making the game’s content “huge.” Provide the best reading experience, like reading a book; the game lets you jump to any character scene and continue from there. That is very convenient for re-reading to understand the game content better and share the game when reading with others.

Finally, there is the function of “emotional decision.” There are many different details in the game depending on the main character’s feelings for the boys. This “feeling decision” function allows you to go back, start a chapter with a high or low level of affection for someone depending on your choice. From there, you can unlock many scenes and finish the game without having to replay from the beginning to choose.
In the original Hakuoki ~Shinsengumi Kitan~, you can build your plot and love story with six main male characters. However, the Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds remake gives players six new choices, doubling the original. This new content will provide around 40 hours of the story experience, depending on your reading speed. Therefore, Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds allows you to deepen your understanding of the characters while also giving you more options, ensuring that you build a relationship with the character you like in the game.

Really for some people, more doesn’t mean good, and maybe 12 options are a lot. But in general, expanding content to understand more characters and give players more choices will increase the value of the game.
Not only is it incomplete, the ending of Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds is dead.

The story is the most important part of a visual novel game. As introduced, the plot of Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds is quite good and has its highlights, but the game ends at an unsatisfactory episode and will make you see everything you just read as “useless.” Honestly, the pivotal, valuable, and decisive situations are all in the next game.
At the same time, the way Idea Factory International promotes the game will make many people think that Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds is a complete game with many full endings. On the game’s Steam homepage, one of the game’s outstanding features is the amount of playtime of more than 80 hours and up to 30 different endings. This information does not refer to Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds but includes the following game. If you consider only Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds, the playing time is half that, and what the game calls “the end” is a hovering pause. That makes many players angry because it seems that the manufacturer is a “fool.” They have to pay the original price of 39.99 USD for an incomplete game, but rather a half-game.

Overall, Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds will be a good story if it has a full accompanying part. However, with a pretty hefty price tag for a visual novel game, a dangling tale with no end in sight.
