Blood Code || Otome Walkthrough, Review, and Overview

Blood Code Review

     Blood Code is an otome/Visual Novel, set in a world where Vampires and humans coexist. Where you play as a high school girl who's life has been thrown into sudden chaos. You are part of a religious bloodline that has had strife with the various vampire bloodlines for generations. And now your father has been murdered. On your hunt for the killer you might find love along the way.

4 male characters:

- Locke: The student body President, and Vampire. Who may know more than he lets on. 

- Christ: The knight in shinning armor. Who has a lot of family issues.

- Leo: The sweet older professor. Who is suffering from an incurable condition.

- Jesse: The tortured Vampire, that wants to protect you. Who has tons of siblings.

 

Pros:

- My greatest fear with all steam bought otomes are the translations. Thankfully, this otome was not that bad. A few grammar issues here and there but overall understandable. 

- The CG's were amazing, and beautiful.

- The plot was not that bad, i enjoyed that the main character had her own agenda and didn't just exist.

- For a VN/otome the game price of $10 (on steam) is cheap compared to many others.

- Has a variety of music and not just one repetitive song.

Cons:

- Each male route is a story in and of itself and do not contribute to each other at all. Though this can be a benefit for the game in one aspect i find it to be detrimental simply in that fact that the story became choppy and slightly confusing.

- Jesse's Route alone was the one that seemed to fit the best to the overarching plot, followed by Christ's Route.

- I personally did not enjoy Leo as a character, he did not really contribute to the plot, he was more simply of an option. Plus i find guys that old trying to get in on with girls 20ish years younger weird.

- The scheduling and daily repetitions for favor and magics get annoying after doing the first 2 routes.

- Did not provide me the feels. There was not enough story build up for you to care about the characters.

- Christ's name. It just made me break out into laughter. Often made it sound as if the main character was swearing.

Overall i give this game a 3/5 stars. I found Jesse's Route the saving grace of it all. The other story lines became obsessively repetitive and made me lose interest fast.
