The Radiants

The Radiants is one of my top favorite games now, I LOVED this otome!!! I heard there is an additional route that might be added so I haven't completely played this and will definitely come back to play again... even if this was fully complete I would come back to play this again I love this game that much. I have played a lot of otomes/romance games and The Radiants is truly original with its gameplay and romance endings. The Good: 1. The art style is fantastic, the music is nice and matches the situations. 2. I played Kia, Grey, Arien, and Rheala's routes + the 2 secret routes (I did not play Balins routes only out of personal preference for now, I may or may not come back to play his). They were all really good, I enjoyed everyone's personality and especially there endings. 3. (Some may not agree with this one) Usually otomes are set up where the different choices gets you to your romance interests route or answering the right choices gets you to the good end or really good end, but not for this game. You don't have to be a different person for the different love interests, for example My character was always rebellious, polite, humble, etc. I always kept the same general answers throughout the VN because I liked not having to change my MC too much for a route (a couple answers allow you to have more interaction with certain people), there is only one choice throughout the game where you choose your romance route and lock in. Basically everyone has a small crush on the MC but they wont make any moves unless the MC shows interest back.... except for grey, hes a different case... 4. The endings are really unique I loved getting different endings for the different romances. Some endings are arguably better for certain characters then others. The endings are tied to stats and sometimes Merits/Demerits. 5. Stats and Merits/Demerits was really cool to play with + the random events were always really fun to me, they add life to the game beyond it just being a VN and I'm about to say yet again how I loved this game but I cant help it because i really do love this game!! <3 <3 6. The Lore/World building made me so happy, I can see the love put into this game. I really really hope another game comes out tied to this Lore/world building the story made me fall in love. The Bad: I'm sorry I really got nothing, this game is being improved upon and I see the developer is active with the community fixing things when they can. There isn't any content warnings to talk about either. Conclusion: I have played a lot of games, a lot of otome/romance games and The Radiants is very well done. I'm so happy I found this game!!! <3 <3 <3

The asking price for this game is way too high compared to the content available. I know my amounts of hours in this game is fair enough for the cost, but sadly those hours does not reflect the actual content. Instead about half of that time consists of skipping through already seen content to get to different endings and different romance paths. The art is good, even great at times, but the story itself is a bit flat and ends before it feels like it even started properly. Maybe if those promised updates actually ever happens the game might be a bit more worth it, but at this time there has been a year with no updates, so that is probably not happening.

Quite a lovely game! Although some of the recurring events (for the classes) can be a bit repetitive, as they so often are in games with this sort of stat-raising system, the gorgeous art, lively characters, and really quite compelling story more than make up for the inherent limitations of the mechanics. Plus, I've always been a lover of any sort of "magical school" setting~

no dex romance option, i'm disappointed

A nice fantasy romance novel. Strengths: - beautiful character sprites and backgrounds - interesting LIs and fun secret romances - the world is intriguing (although the worldbuilding doesn't go that deep, I widh there was more) - the MC can hold her own and is not a bag of potatos to be tossed around by romantic partners - multiple endings and nice epilogues with your significant other Weaknesses: - the main plot is a bit predictable - encoutnered a few bugs, but nothing game-breaking

10/10

WOW

Super cute! And its not very complicated, in a good way. The game makes it very easy yo turn my brain off and just vibe.

Fantastic game and the story is really interesting so far!

Too short but cute. I enjoyed getting to know each character and I even enjoyed the side/extra characters. I kinda wish there had been less shadow shapes and more drawn people in hallways or other backgrounds but it was still nice. I think learning certain traits or classroom abilities could have been a bit more rewarding or at least interacting with more classmates... I feel interacting with more classmates would have made it feel more immersive such as when you try out for the sports team.
