Ikemen Prince: Beauty and Her Beast - Prologue Impressions

 I finally got to download Ikemen Prince and play through the prologue. I have a few thoughts on the game that I am going share down below. Please beware of spoilers!

 

Another Ikemen Game is Coming...

 It looks like another Ikemen game is being localised. I heard about this one ages ago from someone else's blog post. The title is: "Ikemen Prince: Beauty and Her Beast". I do love games with a fairytale theme!

I was going to embed the trailer here, but apparently Avex (this massive record label who I presume own the rights to the trailer's music) have blocked the sharing of their videos on third party sites. Go and search for it yourself if you really want to see it.

IkePrince's art does look quite gorgeous. I like the character designs a lot. My favourite character (just from looking at them) is the blonde one who reminds me of IkeSen's Kenshin. Apparently his name is "Chevalier Michel". Why do I always like the cold ones the most? I can already guess what his route is going to be like... 

Ikemen Sengoku - Mitsuhide's Route Review

Today I will be reviewing a mobile game route. It's been a while since I've written about the Ikemen series, actually. Funnily enough, my posts about them seem to have the highest number of views. Mobile game stuff in general seems to be more popular, most likely because more people play them.

Mitsuhide's route came out about a month ago, and I've been playing since about a week after it released. I was actually a little bit excited for this one! It's the fourth IkeSen route I've played so far. The other ones I completed were Kenshin, Ieyasu and Sasuke. (I just never bothered to write about them on this blog...)

There are spoilers below, be warned!

(I didn't know what picture to put here so just enjoy this screenshot from the character selection page!)

New Ikemen Vampire Boys

For about fifteen days now, there's been a video on Cybird's official YouTube channel showing artwork of the three new characters they'd announced. Even though it'll probably take an eternity for them to come to the English game, I just thought I'd share the video with you here. (Also, it's just fun to talk about otome news and stuff!)

In case you are unable to view the video due to data limitations and stuff, I have provided screenshots of the new characters down below. These have probably already been widely circulated around the web, but I don't care.

Ikemen Revolution Recap/Review No. 7

Hello, everybody. I'm back for another Ikemen Revolution post. I haven't actually read any of the story today because my Internet's acting up and none of my mobage games will load. Not even my Spotify on my phone, computer or iPod will load, but for some reason it's working on my Google Home. Not even my poor Last.fm scrobbler will load. I'm just glad that Blogger's working, for now. I don't know what's up with things today. All of this nonsense is probably just my imagination playing tricks on me.

 Don't worry though, I still have the rest of the story to write about. I'm now realising how tiring it is writing billions of little posts for one route. I feel like I'm getting lazier and lazier with these...

Ikemen Revolution Review/Recap No. 6 (With a bit of Ikemen Vampire thrown in too...)

Wow, today I achieved a lot in the world of Ikemen games. I finished Ieyasu's route, got a really nice gacha card in Ikemen Vampire, played a bit of the new event in said game, and read some very strange stuff in Ikemen Revolution.

So yes, let's get on with my next IkeRev post!

 I don't have as much plot stuff to write about here, it's just that there's a few things I want to write about before I forget. But before I start, I'll show you this new gacha card I got in IkeVamp! It was so worth the 300 free diamonds I spent on getting it!

Ikemen Revoltuion Review/Recap No. 5

Hello everybody, and welcome back to another post where I gradually go through an Ikemen Revolution route! This time I'm super happy because I managed to have enough magic crystals for another premium story, plus, I actually got something good in the card gacha!

Ikemen Vampire Recap/Review No. 11: The Conclusion of Napoleon's Route

I did it. I finally completed it. Napoleon's route is over. I honestly thought that I still had at least three chapters left, but I only had two. Let's conclude my little recap series then, shall we? There's not really much more to write about.

Ikemen Revolution Review/Recap No. 4

Hello everybody, and welcome to another post on Ikemen Revolution. It's been a few days since I've last written anything, so my memory of the plot isn't going to be as good. Luckily I've taken lots of screenshots to help me remember everything!

I think I'm almost halfway through Jonah's route now. I predict that I'll be done by the end of the month, if the avatar challenges don't take me too long.

So, what has happened in the route since the last post? Read below to find out!

Ikemen Revolution Review/Recap No. 3

It's that time again, time for another Ikemen Revolution post. Not too much happened since I last wrote, but I wanted to make one more post before the weekend started. If you're wondering why I haven't written about Ikemen Vampire lately, it's because it's taking me forever to get enough gold to clear the avatar challenge! I can't even remember what's happening in the route because it's been so long.

This post doesn't really have as many screenshots as my last ones, because a lot of the time I'm too busy enjoying the game so I forget to take them.

Let's just get to the plot, shall we?

Ikemen Revolution Review/Recap No. 2

Hello, everybody, and welcome to my second Ikemen Revolution post. I have taken so many screenshots of this game this time, so the post should look a lot more colourful than my other ones. I was going to write this post tomorrow instead since I had something else planned for today, but a lot of interesting things happened that I really wanted to write about. Actually, today I even had enough magic crystals to buy a Premium Story, so I'm quite excited to talk about it!

(If you're wondering what I had also planned to post today, I was going to play another mobile otome and review one of the free stories on Love 365. The only reason I'm not playing console games right now is because it costs loads of money to buy new ones, and I don't want to exhaust the Vita's otome library in less than a year!)

So, let's get to the plot, shall we?

Ikemen Revolution Post No. 1: First Impressions

I know I said that I'd wait to complete Napoleon's route before starting Ikemen Revolution, but I couldn't wait. After leaving the app sitting on my home screen for ages, I finally began to play it. I am so, so, glad that I did, because this game is really, really good.

In this post, I'm going to go straight into giving my first impressions on the app as a whole, then I'll start getting into the actual route. Let's get to it then, shall we?

Ikemen Vampire "Discipline Between the Sheets" Event - A Review

After yesterday's brief post discussing two of Cybird's current events going on in their games, I thought that it would be nice to do a proper post on one of them, specifically Ikemen Vampire's "Discipline Between the Sheets" story event. I've never actually played through an event all the way through before, as I always couldn't be bothered to do all of the love battles and all that nonsense just for some short story. But I need more excuses to blog about things, so this event was the perfect opportunity for that.

Just keep in mind that I'm only reviewing Arthur's "route" for this post. I have no plans to go through any of the others. Anyway, Arthur's actual route's coming out soon, so I might as well write about him to hype up his release, even though I probably won't be playing it for a long time yet.

You know what, I only just realised that it's Arthur's face who is on the app icon. I always thought that it was Napoleon. The artwork is from his "Dripping Wet" gacha card, in case you were wondering.

I didn't try to be one of those people who ranks on this event, I actually have no idea how you do that, and because it looks like you have to spend actual money to get up on the charts. All of the people who rank really high have these avatars with loads of fancy clothes, so it's obvious they've spent a bit of dosh on the game. Personally, I don't think it's worth it, but those girls can do whatever they want with their money.

Ikemen Vampire Recap/Review No. 10

Well, we’ve finally reached the tenth post in this series! That’s a lot of writing I’ve been doing. Today I had planned to write something different instead, but I came across another Avatar Challenge in Napoleon’s route, so I just thought that I’d write about this today.


This is my first post made using Windows Live Writer. I used to use this on my old Wordpress blog, so I thought that I’d start using it again. Hopefully the formatting turns out alright.

Ikemen Vampire Recap/Review No. 9

Yay! My broken computer managed to connect to Blogger all by itself! Poor thing. Even though it's on its last legs, I'm still working it hard to try and get these blog posts out.

Today is time for another IkeVamp post. I've managed to read about two and a bit chapters since I last wrote, so that's enough for some discussion. I feel that if I had waited another day to write this, I would've forgotten everything that I've read.

Let's get to the plot!

Ikemen Vampire Recap/Review No. 8

Good afternoon, fellow blog viewers. Welcome to another Ikemen Vampire recap-review thing. I don’t really know what this type of post is called! If you have only just tuned in, these posts are just ongoing things where I discuss the plot of this game and give my thoughts on it.
I just have to mention something sort of important first. My laptop is now on its last legs, after almost five years of service. The screen is literally hanging by two wires, since the hinges are both broken. This affects the Wi-Fi antenna, because for some reason the manufacturers decided to place it in the most vulnerable part of the whole computer! So now my computer can barely get any Internet signal, and when it does, it loads like Dial-Up. This of course affects how I can edit my blog and website. The only other computery things I have are my Windows tablet and an old Netbook that doesn’t have any drivers installed since I re-installed Windows on it. I used to manage my old blog on my tablet, but I’d rather not do that again since I hate touch-screen keyboards. I could actually write a post on my Xbox One, but I can’t find my USB keyboard anywhere.

Just because my computer’s about to bite the dust, it doesn’t mean that this blog will! Bubbles (yes, I gave my PC a name) actually still works fine apart from those two major issues. So I’m writing this post on Microsoft Word right now, and then I’m gonna wait for it to get a connection and then paste it onto my blog. I’m either going to get this thing fixed, or buy a new computer. I won’t let this kill my blogging speed though, don’t worry! Just expect a few less posts than usual. If you notice any formatting errors of any kind, blame the transition from Word to Blogger for that.

OK, now that we’ve gotten the serious stuff out of the way, let’s get to the discussion!

Ikemen Vampire Recap/Review No. 7: MC Does Something a Bit Stupid

I've reached another avatar challenge, so I thought that it would be the perfect time to write another post about Ikemen Vampire and Napoleon's route.

Finally, I've found a decent title for this series of posts. It's better than just "Another IkeVamp Post" or "I Don't Know What To Call This Post" one billion times, isn't it?

Let's get straight to recapping and discussing the plot, shall we?

Another Ikemen Vampire Post - With a Very Original Title

I'm back again, with another sort of review/discussion/opinion piece on Ikemen Vampire! If you were wondering why it had been so long, blame the silly old avatar checks. I can't be asked to turn my iPod on every few hours to do the battles again, so it takes me a long time to complete them. I had sort of pushed Napoleon and his route to the back of my mind, because I was replaying a lot of my other otome games instead.

I've only managed to read a chapter and two fifths since I last wrote, but who cares! I couldn't even tell you what chapter it was, but it's the one with the third CG in it.

OK, let's get to the plot, shall we? Beware of spoilers down below!

Ikemen Vampire Update No. 5?

Here I am, back again with another Ikemen Vampire post!

A lot of things have happened, some that I cannot entirely remember, but I'll try to recap as much as I can. I tried to save some of the free chapter tickets for later, but they reset everyday so I ended up wasting them. Oh well. I suppose I learned from that mistake to use all of the tickets up the day you get them!

Another Ikemen Vampire Post (I couldn't think of a better title, sorry)

This post is probably quite short, but that's only because I've reached one of them "intimacy checks" that I currently am unable to pass, so I'm just gonna write what's happened so far so I don't forget.
