Charming Hearts Reviews

tl;dr This game is a must buy for fans of the genre, solid 9.5/10 and my favorite FMV so far. I'm not the type of person to write reviews usually, but after finishing this game I had to. Charming Hearts was phenomenal. Charming Hearts was my fourth ever FMV game (Alongside Five Hearts Under One Roof, Knowledge Or Know Lady, I've Fallen For You, and then I'm currently reading Love Is All Around) and man was it incredible. First and most important, the acting in this story was phenomenal. The other FMV's I've read have had good acting, but this was next level! I was hooked right off the bat and was continually impressed throughout the game. Plus the girls are all super cute! The story and characters are interesting and pretty in-depth, plus the audio quality is really good, and the sound track is awesome (some of the songs are my favorite from any game ever, and I've been gaming for almost 20 years so that's saying something lol). All of the endings are really sweet and some even feature marriage proposals. It's all super wholesome and I love it! There are two small complaints I have though. First, the English translation is pretty meh. Alot of the pronouns and such got mistranslated in English. Luckily they are close enough that you can figure out what they are supposed to say, but sometimes it ruins a fantastic acting moment from one of the girls. plus, the English subtitles are on screen with the Chinese subtitles as well, but you can't turn the Chinese one off and its bigger than the English one for some weird reason but it isn't super impactful. The second complaint is that you cannot backtrack in the same play-through of the story. Although the game is designed like a typical FMV with dynamic story branches and multiple possible routes, your first choice in a situation is your final. Meaning that although you can go back and watch different choices, they cannot overwrite your original choice, which makes it annoying if you did not get all the girls you wanted in the first playthrough because then you have to click restart and go through the whole story again while unable to skip any scenes. Luckily though, I did manage in my second playthough to unlock all 6 girls in the same playthrough, although it is pretty difficult. Overall this game is a must have game if you are a fan of the genre. All aspects of the game were incredible. The story was so good that I honestly didn't really mind watching the whole thing a second time just to get the ending for the one girl I missed the first time through, and adding the twin provides an incentive to go back through a second time as well which is a nice touch. Plus she's awesome, I mean she likes to dance at the club and play video games!? sign me the heck up LMAO. All kidding aside though it was a great game and will probably remain my favorite of the genre; the developers and actresses should all be really proud of how well they did

Pretty Good FMV game! There are some translation issues here and there at the time of writing. But neverless I would still recommend it! I would say the characters in this game were outstanding!

Decent but not as good as S-Tiered FMVs like《Knowledge, or know Lady》or《Love Is All Around》,《Charming Hearts》is more on the same tier as《I've Fallen For You》which is around the spectrum of A-tier but without the Leaderboard feature where you can vote which girl is your fav. My favs are 沈棠 Shen Tang, 田语柠 Tian Yu Ning and 尚悠雅 Shang You Ya. Only get this game during sales, otherwise it's better to skip this game unless you're a collector of FMVs.
