The term "one-of-a-kind" often feels overused, but every game has its unique flair. When I heard about Crazy Ones, billed as the first male-centric, turn-based otome game, it certainly piqued my interest. If you're scratching your head over this, let me break it down for you. Inspired by Steve Jobs' famous quote, "Here's to the Crazy Ones," this game thrusts you into the thrilling realm of corporate battles as a male protagonist, all while navigating the complexities of romance with four distinct female characters.
Meet Hakuo, the dependable HR manager; Hyouka Natsume, the tsundere president of rival Natsume Technology Group; Chika Ono, an aspiring musician; and Tomoko, the protagonist's protégé. The gameplay blends narrative-driven dating with strategic, turn-based battles using cards that represent the main character's memories.
Driving me crazy
Now, there's a lot to unpack about Crazy Ones. The game emphasizes emotional connections over mere fanservice, which is refreshing. While I could critique the potential for a surprising narrative twist given its name, I must acknowledge that it looks like a solid visual novel for fans of the genre. However, the concept of juggling multiple romances as a selling point gives me pause. If you're curious about what Crazy Ones has to offer, you can dive in right now on the iOS App Store and Google Play.
