The Rose of Segunda

3.5/5。安妮博林模拟器，女主需要赢得王子的喜爱来与王室联姻，然而实际上你可以拥有自己的选择。看似是那种娇妻雌竞的设定，但打的时候感觉还好，女主很可爱，理智清醒狡黠。这种题材感觉在英乙里不太多，几个ro选的视角也都还不错。 叙事还是存在一定问题的，主线故事几乎没有，每条线基本上就是攻略完角色游戏就结束了，于是整体的完成度显得虎头蛇尾。整个游戏打完也没多长时间。 我头一次觉得立绘画风和叙事风格不太搭，故事有点宫廷争斗风格让我想起《凡尔赛》，然而画风太子供向了，会有点点出戏。这部的设定和ambition：a minuet in power（非常不推荐此游）有点像，都是在贵族之间周旋。大家说话都文绉绉的，但不像royal alchemist那种爱用gre词汇的风格，这部属于是用那种很端着的句型。 终于有洋人写骨科了，我大吃特吃，虽然骨科是打完其他线之后才能解锁的，但steam有指南教你如何通过技术手段直接打这条线。而且我觉得骨线在一开始就写得非常非常暧昧。骨线更有安妮博林的即视感了（指安妮博林和乔治博林的那个指控），那种亲密无间的感情真是其他关系比不了的。 管家线有那种忠诚的苦涩的不配得暗恋感，萌，但结尾有点过快了。公爵线如果多写点后续就好了，想看女主起义革命。

A fun, relatively light romance visual novel that gave me pretty much exactly what I expected from it going in. In relation to its (currently early access) sequel, this game almost feels like the "common route" of a larger Visual Novel, the shared setup that all the different routes end up developing in very different directions. As such, I would absolutely recommend getting the sequel as well for the full experience. Together, I wouldn't just call them light fun, but genuinely great and interesting.

(Actual game time so far about three hours. Disregard Steam.) A delightful otome game. I've played through half the routes so far, and I've enjoyed each one. Something I appreciate is the personality customization - too many games of this kind box you into a certain type, but you can be as sweet or sassy as you want and it feels natural. Now I'm off to finish off the rest of the routes and then rock back and forth repeatedly as I wait for the sequel to be finished. Recommended!

Good ♥♥♥♥.

It's a nice short story. I like the variety of choices, it's nice to be able to make some choices that don't affect the outcome. Even the stories of 2 female LIs are cute (normally I would have skipped them, but I wanted to play the secret route, lol). The art and music are very beautiful. It would have been nice to see how many endings there are and how far you've progressed. But in general, I enjoyed the game.

Definitely recommend. Simple story and premise, but with great memorable characters. The MC can have a lot of personality and each of the love interests is unique and endearing in their own way. The art and music of the game is excellent as well. There is also a sequel on itch.io worth checking out, “The Thorns of War.”

This is my first time ever writing a Steam review for a game, but after replaying this title, I can't help but want to for this! The Rose of Segunda is such an easy and immersive visual novel/otome to play through. The MC is refreshing compared to other female leads in otomes by not acting extremely shy, gullible, or far too dense for her own good most of the time. Depending on how you play your routes, she can be dutiful, opinionated, cunning, mischievous, and playful! And for that, it's truly a delight to play as her and never once have I felt a frustrating moment of, "But just *why* would you do that?" The romances, as well, are charming, natural, and all have good chemistry with the MC. Some I believe have greater sparks than others, but I never felt bored playing for the other characters! It is also possible to play and not romantically end up with anyone of your choosing by at least two varied means. Really, to put it simply, the game is fun! Definitely worth its price tag, and I'm super excited for its sequel, where we can explore the aftermath of this game! I really recommend it. I don't think—even if it somehow doesn't quite suit your tastes—it would be an experience anyone would regret.

2 hours for the first route. 90 minutes for rereads. I laughed a LOT. The heroine is witty, clever, and not afraid to bite, hard, with words. Anyone who loves "Pride and Prejudice" will love this. There are 6 routes, one is a secret you get at the end after all others are done. All are done well, and I found the endings of the female love interests routes especially engaging. All that said, what was introduced on Leopold's route makes me especially keen to see what a sequel would have to offer. The Prince, when given space to breathe, is solid- he was my second favorite route. Bastian himself, well... I almost felt like I had to conjole and bully him out of his job role to get him to make a move. And he still freaked out and tried to call it off, which just makes him not my cup of tea. As for the secret route, I liked how it was written, I will give it that. There is a sequel and Leopold's route there is done. Exciting~

I found the writing stilted and the main character immature. The game wants to adopt the beauty of a historical setting, but then just use it to make a bunch of trite feminist complaints. I found one of the LIs slightly interesting; the rest were pretty boring. And the secret route is super gross.

I knew my brother being the best looking character in the game couldn't have been accidental...
