Critic Reviews for Radiant Tale
If you've always wanted to fall in love with circus boys then Radiant Tale is the Otome for you, with charming characters and a wonderful setting.
When my biggest criticism of a game is “the font isn’t quite right,” I know I’ve played something pretty special. Radiant Tales doesn’t subvert the otome genre. It is not meant to challenge the audience to think deeply about things. It is, simply, a well-written and well-meaning romance story about a troupe of performers and a highly magical adventure they embark on together. It’s like the non-steamy end of Harlequin novels, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Everyone benefits from a little romantic fantasy at times.
Radiant Tale is a bright Switch otome game with a strong cast of love interests and supporting characters and a great common route.
I want to mention that Radiant Tale has focussed a lot more on world-building and visual designs than on the plots of the routes. This makes the overall topics of the routes more about accomplishing things through the power of love and friendships. I was not at all bothered by this, but if you have a need for a strong plot this might not be the game for you. But I really loved the game, yes it did have some small things I would have done differently, but there were also a lot of things that made up for those small things. So I would encourage everyone who is into stunning visuals and cosy vibes to pick this game up
Radiant Tale is a really enticing fantasy visual novel that's worth playing. With an easily relatable character, charismatic characters and a good audiovisual direction overall, it's an spot-on recommendation within its genre.

Radiant Tale has a beautiful artwork and a very diverse cast. If you are looking for a more casual otome with a touch of humor, this is for you.
