[OTOME] Voltage Mobile Games Overview FREE TO PLAY + Current Updates

Voltage goes a long way back with me. It was one of the earlier games I played on mobile when they had service with GREE. My Sweet Bodyguard (One of my most favorite Voltage games.), Be My Princess and Celebrity Darling (Which I wished they redid in their current new system..) ;;;;

Back then it was really difficult to play with the Gree system but the overall service is pretty dead for these games despite still being available to download/play.

Shortly after the years, they have done their own free to play games. Let's get with the basics first.

Overall How the Games run : 
-Log in Bonus : You can be consistent and if you survive logging in for a set number times (like My Forged Wedding Party) you will get special bonuses by the end of 100 or 200 log in etc. If you miss a day it will reset the counter back to 1. They also have a special log in bonus if you haven't played for a long time, they will give you a welcome back bonus on their game. I had it happen twice to me, it's nice... but they totally have the characters guilt trip you on not playing haha. 
-Bonus Sheet Item : It's like achievements in a game but they have a daily one and a sheet to be completed for more items for the game. If you complete the tasks they ask they will reward you with items. Very simple to do if you want to get more items for the game.
-Mini Games : All of their games have some battle off to raise some type of needed element be it "Wife Points" or "Trust Factor" etc. Where you will use daily energy to try to raise in game cash + the needed element. The energy recovers with as certain time passes during the day.
-Story Passes : These are your passes everyday you can read 5 parts a day. They will recover in about a day time like the other games. You can always use the story pass refills if you get them. 
-Checkpoints : You can't just read the story as leisure. In order to pass checkpoints to continue the story it's either x amount of items or a certain "stat" level. Sometimes you have to hoard items over time or even wait another day to pass the checkpoint. However it is doable if you do not want to pay, you just need patience. I noticed how this applies to most games that are free to play. But I have to be honest, Voltage's free to play games are probably the toughest checkpoints since their required points is quite high numbers especially near the endings. ;;
-Dress Checkpoints / CG : This is critical for free to play voltage players to understand. YOU WILL NOT GET the CG if you do not PAY real money/or earn them from app installing etc. It's a real downer for their games since I do think Voltage has very nice CGs and CGs make a game for me personally. To pay for each CG the price increases every time they have one or just read the story without CG/Sweet Scenarios.
-Bonus : There are extra stories and time limited events in the game. Although like again, I think Voltage limited time events are as tough as their checkpoints. They have short time limit (wished it was more like 14 days vs 7) and a more easier checkpoint or visa versa. But I believe they follow how Japanese play because they can "pay" and put a lot of time into a mobile game. It's hard for international players to follow that same mindset sadly. Just my opinion on it. 

Ok onto the games! 
I've listed my Player ID for you to add to get bonus items if you wish. You can also add me as friend. I always use the same name now Imari Yumiki for all the games I play. 

My Forged Wedding Party

The Heroine had a finance who dumped her before meeting her parents. She meets the group of friends (all guys) who knows her uncle. One of them steps it up and becomes her "fiance" because they also need a future wifey for whatever their reasons are in the story. (Each character is different.) So you act like you are Husband/Wife with your chosen one and of course falling in love with him by the end of it.

I have to be honest I did enjoy this one when it was out since I never played the original. I went after Takao Maruyama. Who is pretty nice character and seemed more of my type. Before I go to too many details, I just want to know why they keep shoving Saeki(the flirty dark hair one.) in my face not just this route but in other routes. I actually think he's pretty cool especially once you know him but they really should save him for his own route instead of having him trying to NTR. But I guess it's popular to always have someone trying to bother you in your own route in japan lol. I just feel bad for him because he is pretty likable except they keep shoving him in other routes for extra drama.

I am near the end for Takao's route, I was just dealing with the checkpoint for a while lol and lost interest in waiting to get to the needed points but I should be finished soon. I will do a proper review at the end of that.

The Heroine is someone who desires to become a famous designer someday. When she gets her job and head to the Royal Party. She finds herself being a replacement of a princess and you meet all these Princes. You choose which one you want after the long long long prologue.

I choose him. I started this game not too long ago so I can't put much input however... I did play this on GREE before Joshua became a choice. I did download the one in Japanese too for the seiyuu version... I never got far on either of them mostly because the story never really kept my interest. I will be trying a bit to see how the story goes again haha. I'm just not a fan of Princes even though I do like "foreign prince types" if it's the story isn't just all about Princes...

Heroine wants to become a famous Journalist. She finally lands the job when she went to Tokyo, Japan. However she ends up working for a bad reputation gossip magazine... She attends the Casino opening meeting all these famous handsome guys. Which are all friends and know the owner. Then she is the lucky girl who won the lottery for a VIP pass for the Casino where she gets to know them personally. Ryoichi gets her a heavy drink as a revenge for taking his photo earlier for Weekly Cinderella and she wakes up... to whoever you choose route for.

Out of all the games this one intrigues me most mostly because the main heroine is a megane girl with spice so far in the beginning. I like megane girls but I liked she actually stood up against Yuzuki when he was being angry boy. I never played the original so I am looking forward to see how this story unfolds. I choose Noel Aijima over the others since he seemed more of my type. I will see as I play. I was a bit interested in Yuzuki too since I thought their chemistry was pretty funny but for now I'll stick with Noel.

Because really, why not? ('3')/

My only thing about this game the set up is very similar with My Forged Wedding with the guy character situations and types. All of them are friends, there is a "woman" who helps you and the character types are pretty similar. It won't bother me though since at least the heroine seems a bit different than the one from MFW. We will see haha.

And that pretty much wraps up the current free to play Voltage games! I hope they plan on doing more and consider some of the feedback from the fans for any of their future releases.

I'll make a more detailed post about this one later. If you play add me as friend!

But already to no surprise the one I was eyeing isn't a route yet lol.

Most of my mobile gaming time has been taken over by Touken Ranbu, Boyfriend BETA and Tokimeki Restaurant as usual. But I have jumped back into the otome gaming. I do have other videogames I am playing not on mobile so let's hope I can get time to lay down reviews before I get really busy and start going to conventions again haha (Sakura Con!! I can't wait!)

Thank you for always reading and supporting!
