Review: Homura: The Crimson Warriors Is Another IFI Historical OtomeHomura: The Crimson Warriors is a historical otome visual novel set in the Sengoku period, featuring romances with figures like Yukimura Sanada and his allies as they face the Tokugawa shogunate.

Review: Otome Daoshi Leans Into Anime and Manga AestheticsOtome Daoshi: Fighting for Love is a visual novel from Otomate, Idea Factory, and Aksys Games that blends traditional otome gameplay with martial arts themes inspired by anime and manga. While the game features attractive character designs and backgrounds, its narrative and character development feel rushed compared to other titles in the genre, and it lacks some quality-of-life features common in similar releases. The game is available on Nintendo Switch.
