Bad Apple Wars was worth playing once but for me, has no replay value. Let me say this was primarily a reading game. There was not many interaction for the reader like other otome games I have played before. There were a couple of options in two of the chapters where you can pick the correct color to go to a specific person when you reached chapter 6. Then you get a “touch” section – tapping the guy and finding their sweet spot in the latter chapters.
The overall plot had a very interesting concept but got kind of boring after seeing it 4 more times. Even when you split up to specific routes, it did not diverge too far from each other. Getting the specific routes was easy-peasy. There were 2 routes – good apples (Satoru and White Mask) and the bad apples (Alma, Higa and Shikishima). (And yes, there was a bad ending but it was super easy to get and thankfully, quick to finish.) The endings were different from each other and resolved the issues pretty nicely. However, besides Alma’s, the endings felt just a tad shallow and left you wanting more. The romance wasn’t too strong in the game until the very end. It was, like, around chapter 7 that the couple would have this sudden epiphany of love despite appearing not to have spent that much time together. (My favorite route was Alma’s and my least favorite was Satoru’s.)
Art style was interesting and pretty stylish. The color scheme was varied and garish. The guys were major cuties and I couldn’t help admiring their 8-packs. Music was nice but so forgetful. I found most of the translation to be really good but you can tell some liberty was taken. Especially for Naraka’s. And I was impressed that this was the first that there was no spelling errors, bar one. There were no bonus features besides the basics – the gallery, the music, movies and a flowchart.
The language is in Japanese and there are English subtitles.
In the end, it took me less than 15 hours to finish all routes and get 100% completion. It could be longer or quicker depending on how many routes you have done or you like to read. This game is not for everyone. Personally, I like the simple plot line and the pleasure of not needing a guide. For some, it may have the possibility of being boring. But if you are a fan of otome, get it. If you are new to the genre, this would be an easy lead-in. If you are not a fan of reading your games, this is not for you. Honestly, the price was a little pricey for how long I played it. It is up to you, but I would recommended waiting until the price drops just a little bit.

When I bought this game I wasn’t sure what to expect but I loved playing it. When it came, the packaging wasn’t damaged or anything. The game ran smoothly and the opening song was addictive. The artwork was beautifully drawn and the story was very intriguing and interesting. I played White Mask’s route and I was satisfied to the max. Overall,I loved it!
