The protagonist of the Radiance routes is a cook/maid, and the love interests are real historical samurai/warlords, except for Saizo who is a ninja from folklore.

Samurai Love Ballad: Party, "The Love Of A Wounded Heart" Event, Nobunaga route

Masterlist and guide

I ended up finishing Nobunaga's route in the "The Love Of A Wounded Heart" event. I've added the few lines of plot I mentioned in the last post so this one stands alone as a plot summary.

Anyway: it was kind of cute, if you're into literal feudal lord/handmaiden.

Love365: Sakura in Chaos

So it turns out Samurai Love Ballad: Party is a remake of a Love365 game called Sakura Amidst Chaos?! Which I can just pay $6 per route to play without all that rigmarole??

Great, right??

Yeah, that's what I thought too... until I tried actually playing it :( It's basically a completely different and much less good game. All it seems to have in common is the base "commoner girl works for and falls in love with Sengoku warlord" premise and some vague character design details.

I mean if you want fluffy cheesy historical RPF it's not the WORST but...I'm going back to Samurai Love Ballad: Party. SIGH.

Content note for the game: there is a brief, thwarted attempt at sexual assault by the protagonist's Evil Cousin.
