I really enjoyed this otome. It's one of the better ones I've played imo. I'm not an otome connoisseur by any means, but I've played my fair share. Cons: 1. WHY DOESNT TOKUGAWA HAVE A ROUTE??? These devs really put this beautiful man in this game with the sweetest voice just to tease us. I played through all the routes and unlocked everything in the hopes it would unlock a Tokugawa route. Massive disappointment. 2. Writing: The MC is the typical lame damsel in distress the majority of the time. She has her moments of being a hard worker and sucking it up, but for the most part she's weak, in the way and winy. I dislike MC like this. I love being saved by a knight in shining armor as much as the next girl but I hate when the main character is a burden the whole time -_- 3. The choices don't really matter much. Either you pick the right one or you don't. Not much else to it. This is a minor con for me though, as I feel like most otome are like this. 4. A little uncomfy: (Trigger warning) Kuroyuki's route is a bit intense and really sad. I didn't dislike it. I like when games have dark/sad themes. But dude was just creepy imo. By far my least favorite route. Also, lots of age differences that could be potentially grooming? Idk I tried not to think about the older cousin thing too much with Chojiro lol. Or the fact that Hanzo is probably twice MC's age. Tbh Gekkamaru was the least problematic. So if you're sensitive to anything like that, just be aware. I still think the game was a lot of fun and this wasn't a big enough issue for me to not recommend the game. Pros: 1. Artwork is beautiful 2. Voice acting is impeccable. By far the best I've experienced playing an otome. Hanzo alone had me swooning fr 3. Writing: Each route is similar but different enough to make it worth playing them all imo. I also liked that this was pretty tame. Nothing spicy. I like a slow burn with low spice and that is also hard to find sometimes. 4. UI / options: The skip and quick save/load features are so good. A lot of these games don't implement them well or usefully so you still end up having to re-read stuff you don't want to and wasting a lot of time. After I finished the good endings for all the routes, I was able to plow through to the bad endings within an hour using these features. Overall I highly recommend the game if you like otome. I think Hanzo and Gekkamaru have the best routes, so if you only want to play a couple, I recommend those.

First of all! You right click the upper portion of the screen to access the menu on PC. That took me forever to figure out, and I freaked out thinking I couldn't save. That's also the menu where you can see your relationship points with the 5 romanceable guys or change the settings to make skipping faster/slower, etc. This visual novel is a fantastic blend of squee-worthy romance and political intrigue. The first 3-4 chapters follow the same story line, allowing you to make choices and gain romance points with your desired character. Then there are a few minor changes depending on who you have the most romance points with and a mission split (Gekkamaru and Chojiro follow one mission while Kuroyuki, Hanzo, and Goemon follow the other mission). Around chapter 5, whoever you have the most romance points with (if there is a tie between two or more, the game will choose the highest one to the left) becomes your locked in romance story from then on with unique pacing and plot. It really felt like a different story for each play through - I was very impressed. Usually with multiple romance options, you pretty much just play the same game over and over to get the achievements, but this was really fun to read each character's story. Each had similar major plot points as anchors, but there was a lot of fluidity in the story details between those plot points. If you want a dramatic, cry-your-eyes-out, never-saw-that-twist-coming type first play through - pick Chojiro first. If you want a twist and some crying but in a slightly less dramatic and intense fashion, try Gekkamaru first. If you're into dark and broody bad-boy with a tragic backstory trope, Kuroyuki is your boy. If you prefer to play the innocent shy girl falling for a playboy with an earnest heart and a carefree attitude, go with Goemon. If you're the type who likes to feel in control of a situation or if you don't like to be confused trying to puzzle out the intrigue and just want things laid out for you, Hanzo's got your back. My recommended play order would be Chojiro --> Kuroyuki --> Hanzo --> Gekkamaru --> Goemon ...... Hanzo was my favorite. Chojiro was a close second favorite, though. Now I need to go and get all the bad ending achievements.

i love Nightshade, but i'm also ridiculously frustrated with it as an otoge. i've played a few routes on Steam and a few routes on Switch, enough to get a sense of the overall storyline, and i've never played an otome that frustrated me equally as much as it endeared me to its cast and characters. the good: teita's art is absolutely gorgeous and all of the characters, including the side characters, are so well designed and have so much personality and effort put into their art, concept, and voice acting that it's impossible not to smile when playing this game. i laughed out loud at a few of the prompts and scenes that weren't directly related to the MC and LI, just the side characters getting up to antics that made the overall storyline feel much more cohesive and alive. the writing in some routes is just astonishing; Hanzo's route made me giggle and kick my feet and i don't usually like kuudere LIs lmfao the bad: what is this plotline ??? why is it so convoluted ??? why won't Kuroyuki stop talking about how we shared a breast ?!?!??!?! Gekkamaru's route (which, arguably, is the canon) reads like a bad melodrama and i love him so much but i can't get over the constant plot twists and sudden events going on everywhere. at this point Goemon is my favourite just because you don't have to get involved with whatever is going on and can just skip town with a cute boy. overall still a really worthwhile otoge to play, with lots of cute scenarios. please let me date Ieyasu i am begging please

The male characters were all fairly diverse and their stories mostly interesting, I liked that the MC changes sometimes in personality depending on who your love interest ends up being. I would have loved more of that, tbh, because she often times ends up on the sidelines and drops into the usual trope of the main character being passive and naive, which made it less enjoyable to me. I had been interested most in the story with Chōjirō, however, this is the most depressing path of them all to take since both endings are sad af and I definitely would have preferred that they slaughter the people responsible for their misery instead of the two doing a lovers-suicide as a "good ending". I was livid at that lol
