Only inculdes games with sales data available. I appreciate that Umineko is good I really liked the anime adaptation of Higurashi, though I've heard Umineko's anime is pretty bad, so I'll keep it in mind but it's not what I'm looking for right now.Īre these actually what I'm looking for or are they subversive, short indie stuff that wear the guise of dating visual novels but are more about taking the piss? I think the chat interface thing in two of them look real unappealing, at least. In a writing sense I mean, they sure blew up after that first one, and the production quality was so much higher. Thought it was pretty good, though not as good as tsukihime.

Some of them are a bit much to buy sight unseen I think, but I bet it's not that long until another sale anyway. Thanks for all the tips, I've added what I could to my list on Steam and started looking for the rest in other places. A Hate Story is very good and I'm also a sucker for Steins Gate though you don't date too much in that one, it's just a really good story with nice art. Katawa Shoujo is damn good nevermind all the 4Chan thing, I only did the Hanako route and there's some deep stuff there. And again Sakura Wars: Otherwise try Umineko, it's not a dating sim but still a really good VN. I only have limited experience with these titles, didn't finish them, but they are highly regarded and easily available on Steam or other official channels. I don't have a ton of experience with visual novels, but I have zero with the stats type.

I think a visual novel is more my jam, but I'd be open for straight up dating sims if that's where the good stuff is. I wouldn't consider them dating sims either, but it's where I've got my romancing on the past decade so I was sure someone might suggest them. I'll look into Sakura Wars: So long my love for the wii and Majikoi, but I'm not gonna bother with stuff that's not entirely translated in either a fan or official capacity. I did the Emi and Haneko routes and gave up halfway into Shizune's route because communicating with her was exhausting. Like, it's basically fine, but nothing in there was particularly doing it for me either. I tried Katawa Shoujo already and didn't think it was all that. If you really like it, the game has plenty of replayability too. The guy you play as kinda sucks but I could connect with it a bit 'cause the game is all about these ppl with disabilities. The only one I've played is Katawa Shoujo, it's free. Here are dating sims listed by ranking and just visual novels in general, again listed by ranking. Also, the Visual Novel Database is your friend if you are starting at ground zero and are looking for recommendations. The game is a lot better than it first sounds and it is freeware so you only have to spend your time in order to find out if you'll like it or not.
KATAWA SHOUJO GAME OF RISK ATTACK OR DEFEND PATCH
Might be worth checking out but again the current fan translation patch only has a little bit of the game in English.įor visual novels I really would recommend Katawa Shoujo, the "disability girls" game.
KATAWA SHOUJO GAME OF RISK ATTACK OR DEFEND FULL
When you say "dating sim" do you mean something like Tokimeki Memorial or Love Plus where you build up stats in order to date a girl or are you looking for a visual novel where you can date different girls? Also, there isn't a full fan translation available for it yet, but I played a demo for Amagami a few years ago and it was pretty good.
