Ikemen Sengoku - Romance Across Time


 The first time I've ever seen the word otome was when I decided to try Ikemen Sengoku, as a FREE game on google play store. I'm not sure if I'm connected to it deeply caused by this fact or other methods, but I still love it. 

The game is free to download and play. But! How could it be free, if you have to spend money on it if you reach an intimacy checkpoint? So it's only free to roam around until a checkpoint. Anyways, If you only use 5 tickets a day, you can save on it. I couldn't. It was the first online game, I wasted lot's of money on. Really. Especially on Ieyasu's route. 

The game is about an ordinary girl who's travelling to Kyoto for an interview. Also she just broke up with her boyfriend. This fact has nothing to do with the story. The girl's just finished her interview and hoping to get the job. She is sewing some stuff but all we know about is bearsache, a plush bear she sew. We don't know if she's lucky with the job, but she's not with the weather. In a few seconds a big storm forms above her and a young good looking scientist she just met. 

After a huge lightning, she finds herself in a fire, who knows where, but she don't have time to find it out. There's a man in the fire, who she immediately saves. Later on, this good looking guy tells her this place is happens to be honno-ji (the temple where Nobunaga died after Mitsuhide's betrayal) and he is actually Oda Nobunaga, a famous person from history books. She quickly notices... she went back in time. After she manages to escape from this guy called Nobunaga, we will meet the other LI's. There is a lot! 

Depending on your choice, you'll fall in love one of the sengoku warlords, and you'll live in their castles. You choose before the game, so you don't have to worry about getting someone else. Your responses giving you romantic, dramatic or both points and you can experience these 2 endings. Depending on your choice. 

The game has other features like gacha, and you can customize your MC. Which customization won't appear on the special photos you unlock during the story. There is parts where you can get voice photos. And eventually there are spicy premium stories as well. Nothing too much. There is always some events with extra stories for rewards. 

I highly recommend this game for those playing on mobile devices. There is also a season 2. 

I love the sengoku period, and this game not only used the characters from it, they also used the real history. Well... with small changes. I just couldn't put it down, I wanted to know what's next and it wasn't like a soap. No other women or big drama over swallow things, just some war and the man you like even if he's slaughtering others in a war. Of course, the stories not always perfect. You have to spend a lots of time with a warlord, so there are stupid reasons sometimes for staying by his side, but still... This is one of the best games for mobile device.
