Embrace the political and interpersonal drama of feudalism while navigating romantic scenarios and witnessing events inspired by Japanese history, brought to life through beautifully illustrated cutscenes and passionate dialogue sequences.

This updated version includes revised text for the best possible experience, making Hakuoki: Chronicles of Wind and Blossom the definitive way for players to enjoy the game!

Story and worldbuilding

The Bakumatsu period, a gap between the past splendour of the Shogunate era and the modern glamor of the Meiji period, is one of the most violent and intriguing places to start a romance. Chizuru Yukimura has set off for Kyoto to find her missing father, but accidentally gets herself wrapped up in the intrigues of the Shinsengumi, a group of warriors who defends the fading powers of the shogunate. The men in Shinsengumi are not merely fighting Emperor Meiji's forces and the strange demons, they are also hiding a terrible secret. They are hiding something among them.

I don’t have much else to say about Hakuoki on the Switch that I didn’t say in my review of the game all the way back on the PlayStation 3. It was wonderful then, it remains wonderful now, and thanks to the quality of the OLED screen the all-important art feels like it’s getting better with age. Hakuoki is like a fine wine and will forever remain worthwhile, no matter how many times it gets bundled up for a re-release.
