Crazy Ones: A Male-Centric Otome Game Review

Crazy Ones, a newly released otome game, offers a unique blend of turn-based combat and narrative-driven dating mechanics. The game centers on a male protagonist navigating the high-stakes world of big business, developing relationships with four distinct female characters.

While the game is marketed as the first male-centric, turn-based otome, the concept of "one-of-a-kind" is subjective. The game's originality lies in its unique combination of genres and its focus on emotional connection rather than simple fanservice.

The four potential love interests each possess unique personalities: Hakuo (the reliable HR manager), Hyouka Natsume (the tsundere president of a rival company), Chika Ono (an aspiring musician), and Tomoko (the protagonist's protégé). The gameplay incorporates turn-based battles using cards representing the protagonist's memories.

Initial Impressions

While the game's premise is intriguing, the marketing of simultaneous romances as a key selling point raises some concerns. However, Crazy Ones appears to be a well-produced visual novel, potentially appealing to fans of the genre. The game's title, inspired by a Steve Jobs quote, hints at potential narrative surprises.

Crazy Ones is available now on the iOS App Store and Google Play. For players seeking similar experiences, a curated list of the top 12 narrative adventure games for mobile is also available.
