"Crazy Ones," a newly released male-centric otome game, has hit the market, blending turn-based battles with narrative-driven dating gameplay. The game revolves around four distinct characters, each with unique personalities, interacting with the player. The term "one-of-a-kind" might be overused, but "Crazy Ones" stands out as it claims to be the first male-centric, turn-based otome game, which piqued my interest.
Inspired by Steve Jobs' famous quote, "Here's to the Crazy Ones," the game places you in the shoes of a male protagonist navigating the intense world of big business. Amidst corporate challenges, you'll also embark on romantic adventures with four intriguing women: Hakuo, the dependable HR manager; Hyouka Natsume, the tsundere president of the rival Natsume Technology Group; Chika Ono, an aspiring musician; and Tomoko, your protégé. The gameplay integrates turn-based battles using cards that represent the protagonist's memories.
Driving me crazyThere's much to discuss about how "Crazy Ones" emphasizes emotional connections with its characters over mere fanservice. While the game's name hints at a potential twist, it deserves recognition for its appeal to fans of visual novel-style games. However, I remain skeptical about the concept of juggling multiple romances as a selling point. If you're curious about what "Crazy Ones" has to offer, you can find it on the iOS App Store and Google Play right now!
