[Only Part 1] But very good so far!
If you're new to the series, please note, The game orginally released in 2008 on the PS2, This remake Took the single game, and split it in two parts, and orgnally released on the Vita, "Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds" is only part 1, and part 2 "Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms" is just the rest, (not really a sequal" Even buying the 'Deluxe Set' only gives you the first part of the story. the "Winds Treasure Box DLC" will give you a little extra side content, so it may not really be worth buying seprate. But you can order the bundle and get it along with some art and the soundtrack, the set goes on sale pretty often, so you can often get it for a steal! I have not yet finished the full game yet, so I won't be giving story notes yet, (I'll update this review when I fnish part1+2) But it should be noted that while this game has extra content, the translation seems a bit diffrent than the eairler release, (on ps3/psp/3ds) The wording has changed quite a bit, if it's for the better or worse will depend on your own peronsal prefrence. I've not finished either, but I kinda prefer the orignal text, The orginal had a slightly diffrent feel to the presentation of the text (not the tone of the story, but how it's presented.) The new text also seems to have quite a few more errors, like weird wording, or repeating lines, But this new translation, is still fine overall, and the extra content may more than make up for it, for many people.
Is this helpful to you?
