Is Nightshade/百花百狼 worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Visual-novel readers who want romance routes involving ninja clans and conflicting loyalties
- Players interested in fictional stories that incorporate Japanese historical characters and events
- Readers who want five central romance paths with different true and bad outcomes
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat, exploration, or other interactive action systems will hit a wall because the core format is a romance visual novel.
- Readers who want short, linear sessions may bounce at the route structure, which assigns two endings to each of five main characters.
- Players looking for a voiced heroine may stop at the protagonist, who has no voice sound.
Our take on Nightshade/百花百狼
The bounce point arrives for players expecting an active ninja game: the story centers on reading scenarios and selecting romance routes rather than controlling missions. A second wall appears at the heroine, whose dialogue is not voiced even though the other characters have Japanese voice performances.
What is Nightshade/百花百狼?
Nightshade/百花百狼 is a romance visual novel set in Japan shortly after the Sengoku Period.
The story follows Enju, daughter of the Kōga clan leader, as she trains to become a full-fledged ninja and undertakes her first mission amid a dark conspiracy. Romance routes center on conflicts between former rival ninja factions and include fictional events alongside some factual characters and incidents. Five main characters each have two possible endings, determined by the player's route choices. The ending video and music change with the outcome, including separate themes for true and bad endings. Japanese voice artists perform the characters, while the heroine has no voice. Memoirs open after all scenario text has been read.
