Title: Iza, Shutsujin! Koi Ikusa (いざ、出陣!恋戦)
Console: PSP
Genre: Otome
Language: Japanese
Company: QuinRose
Summary: My first time playing a QuinRose game… eh.
Story: I liked the whole sengoku era theme and basing the characters off that. Warping history with bishies, yes!
Characters: Great cast, I went for Kaji Yuuki’s Mitsunari character first.
Graphics: Lots and lots of CGs, but only a few of them are really worth staring at longer than a few seconds imo. :\
Sound: One of the stronger points of this title, I suppose. The music was quite pleasant.
Gameplay: I have a similar problem with this and Otomate’s games, in that you can’t overlap reading modes at all, such as not being able to skip a line during auto mode unless you turn the auto mode off first.

I think my route with Kaji Yuuki with a good ending took me about 2 hours, even without skipping a bit like I usually do on other otoge, and that’s it. Hardly any relationship development and the story felt really half-baked too. So effing short.
Replay Value: Typical otoge incentives to replay by going through different routes when you make different choices.
Overall: 5/10. Really not all that impressed with my first QuinRose game. Cast selection is great, but all the routes are too short with not enough actual story or relationship development, and it all felt really half-assed. Don’t care for a ton of short scenarios; I need something epic and pounding on my heart for an otoge. D8;

So in the end I only played it for Kaji’s deep voice, which I didn’t even get much of. Not looking good on my record for playing more QuinRose games. There are just so many better titles out there.
