Crazy Ones is a \"one of a kind\" bishojo game, out now on mobile

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 around a male protagonist navigating the high-stakes world of big business, pursuing romance with four distinct female characters.

While the game's marketing emphasizes its novelty as a male-centric otome, the concept of "one-of-a-kind" is subjective. Each game offers its own unique elements, and Crazy Ones is no exception. The game's title, inspired by a Steve Jobs quote, hints at an unconventional narrative.

The protagonist's romantic interests include Hakuo (a dependable HR manager), Hyouka Natsume (the tsundere president of a rival company), Chika Ono (an aspiring musician), and Tomoko (the protagonist's protégé). Gameplay incorporates turn-based battles using cards representing the protagonist's memories.

Initial Impressions

Crazy Ones focuses on building emotional connections between the player and the female characters, rather than relying solely on fanservice. While the title suggests potential for unexpected plot twists, the game appears to be a solid visual novel experience for genre enthusiasts.

However, the game's promotion of simultaneous romances raises some questions. Despite these reservations, players interested in exploring this unique otome game can download it now from the iOS App Store and Google Play.
