Samurai Love Ballad: Song of Radiance<\/strong> has been released for Windows (Steam<\/a>) and Nintendo Switch. Developed by Unico and published by Voltage, this Sengoku-period otome game is a port of the 2016 mobile game Samurai Love Ballad: PARTY (originally released in 2014 for Japan players as Tenka Touitsu Koi no Ran Love Ballad). \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Samurai Love Ballad: Song of Radiance, you play as a young woman who works at a restaurant in Kyoto alongside her mother and brother. Your once-peaceful life takes a turn when your younger brother is sent off to work as a poison taster for a samurai in a castle outside the city. In a Mulan-reminiscent twist, you disguise yourself as a man to take your brother\u2019s place.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout your journey, you encounter historical Japanese warlords such as the ruthless Oda Nobunaga, the intimidating but loyal Date Masamune, the sincere and just Akechi Mitsuhide, the awkward but fierce Sanada Yukimura, the mysterious and sadistic Kirigakure Saizo, and the clever and occasionally mischievous Katakura Kojuro. All six characters look a lot younger and handsomer than how they’re portrayed in historical records, making them prime candidates for romance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choices you make when interacting with the six males leads affect your relationships and level of intimacy. This influences the course of the story and which character you ultimately end up with.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samurai Love Ballad: Song of Radiance doesn\u2019t have as many romance options as Samurai Love Ballad: PARTY (the latter has over 15 available routes), but the six characters featured in the former are all as they originally appear in the mobile game. Additionally, Samurai Love Ballad: Song of Radiance has an updated opening movie as well as bonus movies for clearing each story route.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
