My first encounter with the game was in 2015, so I had experience with the original version. Then the Reprise version dropped and I hunted all the achievements out of it.
When it comes to Visual Novels I rarely play Otome ones (unless there’s at least one Yuri route), but Blue Rose was one of the very few exceptions out of this rule.
The story itself is well-written and fairly interesting. It doesn’t focus just on it’s romance aspects, which I found to be a good thing. The main interest is it’s main plot, the romance comes afterwards. Which to me was a great point (again, because it’s an Otome).
All the characters, including our female protagonist Lena, are fun to be around. With different personalities and beliefs that they follow in life. They are around for different reasons and as you meet them you learn more interesting things about them.
All the routes allow to see different aspects of the characters and their growth. Same can be said about Lena who’s definitely a strong character, but not overpowered and sometimes needs help of others.
Overall for Otome fans, I’d say it’s worth getting. For people who are not into that specific genre – you can give it a go to, because the game doesn’t really feel like a Dating Simulator and you can just enjoy a good story.
As I said I run into this game for the first time in 2015 and also played it on YouTube. So if you want to see the first version of the game feel free to have a look at my Blue Rose playlist. And play the Reprise edition yourself.
