Otome games prove love can happen in the most unlikely places. So far, Michibiku has fallen in love while attending a school for pigeons, trying to get back to my child beauty pageant weight, being held hostage in an amusement park, suffering from amnesia, acting as a mascot for vampire-Bakumatsu period warriors, restoring a farm and managing a fighter for a high school fight club. Romancing Ozmafia’s fairy tale-inspired men, all of whom also happen to be members of mafia families fighting for territory, isn’t going to phase anyone else keeping up with the endless flow of dating sim visual novels.
Hardcore Gamer: Now they’ve put together a limited physical edition to satisfy OZMAFIA!! fans. The game includes both a disc and Steam key as well as a two-sided DVD cover. Also included in the set are six pins featuring Axel, Caesar, Caramia, Kyrie, Pachet, and Scarlet.
OZMAFIA!! is pretty inconsistent across the board as far as visual novels go, but a ridiculous concept and large stable of lively beaux make for a wacky good time.
Hardcore Gamer: Once upon a time, there was a story by the name of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Since that original story was published in 1900 the world has simply been unable to let go of the Oz landscape, characters and thematic elements. Numerous films, television shows, plays, songs, books and even video games have spun Oz in all manner of unique directions. OZMAFIA!!, however, is probably one of the few otome visual novels allowing you to actively pursue the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow romantically.
