Unique Bishoujo Game "Crazy Ones" Now Available 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 on a male protagonist navigating the high-stakes world of big business while pursuing relationships with four distinct female characters.

While the game's marketing emphasizes its novelty as a male-centric otome, the concept of a "one-of-a-kind" experience feels somewhat overstated. However, its unique premise—a male protagonist in a typically female-focused genre—certainly warrants attention.

The game's title, inspired by Steve Jobs' famous quote, hints at a potentially unconventional storyline. The protagonist's romantic pursuits involve Hakuo (a reliable HR manager), Hyouka Natsume (the tsundere president of a rival company), Chika Ono (an aspiring musician), and Tomoko (the protagonist's protégé). The romantic elements are interwoven with turn-based battles utilizing cards representing the protagonist's memories.

Initial Impressions

While Crazy Ones emphasizes emotional connection over simple fanservice, the prospect of simultaneous romances raises some questions. The game's potential for narrative twists, suggested by its title, remains to be seen. However, initial impressions suggest a promising visual novel experience for genre enthusiasts.

Despite some reservations, Crazy Ones appears to be a worthwhile addition to the otome genre. It's currently available on the iOS App Store and Google Play.
