Author Topic: Favorite "Shall We Date?" Games~? (Read 12998 times)

What are your favorite games from the "Shall We Date?" brand (that existed prior to 2015)? I am expecting a whole bushel of new English NTT Solmare SWD games this 2015 onward, so this poll will be potentially quite outdated in the future. Just chose to do this out of preemption.

You can choose up to three titles out of the nineteen games listed. I hope that I did not miss any. As much as I don't want to consider HnK 4 an NTT Solmare app, it is still under the "Shall We Date?" brand because of its current format. I also imagine that this poll would be heavily skewed based on which games have multiple versions or not, and some of these apps do not even exist anymore.

I like DN the most :) but recently seems like the new spinoffs are not as interesting hope they make better stories for the game

Of the three I've played, I only really got into the story/mess of one: Angel or Devil. The other two I could sleep through: Lost Island and Mononoke Kiss. There are others like Scarlet Fate and Wizardess Heart that I really want to play when I have less going on.

As you do not have too much time, I highly suggest simply starting Scarlet Fate and only do Training every day after you get out of the prologue because the checkpoints are kind of steep for a beginning player. You don't even need to read the prologue because the entire thing is saved in the story album.

I don't recall whether or not the tutorial phase encroaches the first chapter, but if you don't remember whatever the heck happened when you do start reading, you can switch to another character and read those parts again. That's the good/lame thing about this app separating each character from the common route.

Still wish I could continue Mononoke Kiss for the spinoffs, but I did actually fast forward everything in all routes the first time around until I got to Hikobane.

I had no idea there were so many, but I also didn't download any new games from them for a looooooooong time. Nor did I bother to actually play...

My favorites would be Angel or Devil and I guess you could say I kind of like My Fairy Tales, so I picked both, but Angel or Devil would definitely win if I had to choose.

Of all the titles in the list, I've only really played Scarlet Fate, The Niflheim, My Sweet Prince, Lost Island and My Fairy Tales. I voted for the first two. I was super addicted to SC a long time ago, to the point of screaming best-game-ever xD Its emo-ness finally got to me as I hung around Gentoka, nevertheless I manage to still enjoy it to some extent. The Niflheim is also beautiful and I'm still eager to read it, but I've temporarily stopped for some time, no idea why. I just... I want to read it, but I don't feel like playing it. X__X

As much as I liked My Fairy Tales when I first started, the game seems ridiculous now with all the silly and overreacting characters, especially how they solve the problems in Gretel's route. Not that I'm too bothered by its silliness, the stories are based on fairy tales after all. Also, the MC has a pretty face as her redeeming feature xD

My Sweet Prince is okay romance-wise I guess, but the plot is ridiculous in a different way. The whole bracelet bearer choosing king thing is stupid... At least the princes are sparkling (literally), and for a while I was captivated by all their sparkles xD

I've played through two routes in Lost Island - the officer and the soldier, can't even remember their names now - and I find them so-so. I'm never interested in a zombie setting to begin with, so I'm not too hooked.

I think I've tried Magic Sword...? I remember there's a side character that I like more than any main heroes and that's all. +.+

I want to try some new Solmare games, but as graduation hits I've got my hand full with life issues already, so I'm resisting the urge to dive deeper into the fictional worlds (especially when my current world sucks and I want to escape).

It looks like Wizardess Heart is a little more well-received at this point, followed by Ninja Assassin.

I am intrigued in how there is even one person who picked the games that had been removed from the app stores, though it was not that long ago when they finally disappeared. Now that Castle Break is going to appear, I feel right to have created this poll to account for pre-2015 releases.

I have 4 favorites but have to put NA out of the list. I'm surprised nobody votes for Never Look Back. I like the art and story. Hope Solmare will release NLB Spin Off in future.
