Incredibly polished dating sim from Elex

Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice is a role playing and dating simulation game developed by Elex. Like other games in the genre, your main objective is to capture the heart of one of the four main guys in the game. Along the way, you must also discover secrets and raise your company to greatness as a media producer.

Presentation and Gameplay

Dating sims have always been a popular and enduring genre in gaming, albeit a bit niche in its audience. This genre has traditionally been presented as visual novels, but in 2016, the Korean game Mystic Messenger revolutionized the genre by its unique gameplay. That game is presented as a messaging app that has an exclusive chatroom where the player can chat with their love interest directly. The result is an immersive game with realistic interactions between the characters.

Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice combines elements of Mystic Messenger’s unique gameplay and blends it seamlessly with more traditional visual novel mechanics. The game is presented as if it was being narrated to you. Occasionally, you’ll be able to interact face to face with the guys. You’ll also be able to chat with the guys, follow them on social media, and even call them. Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice offers four love interests for players to pursue. The game’s four love interests are Kiro, Lucien, Victor, and Gavin. 

Graphics and Design

The graphics are undoubtedly the best thing about the game. It’s very well-polished. The background environments, in particular, are beautifully rendered. Whether it’s somewhere mundane like a convenience store or somewhere romantic like a street filled with cherry blossoms, the background art is always on point and stunning. 

The characters themselves are well-drawn. However, the designs are a bit lacking in variety. If you’re not used to looking at anime characters, distinguishing them from each other might be a bit challenging.

The game also has a pretty interesting plot. You play as a media producer, and you must juggle your responsibilities in your company while also interacting and pursuing your love interests. This may seem mundane, but unique superpowers and a fantastical plot are also thrown into the mix which gives the game its own edge.

Another great thing to note about this game is that players can switch easily between English and Japanese, so players can have a nice multilingual experience. The game even features popular Japanese voice actors like Daisuke Hirakawa, Tomokazu Sugita, Yuki One, and Tetsuya Kakihara.

Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice is not a revolutionary game by any measure, but it is incredibly polished and well-made. It has wonderful graphics and professional design. It’s definitely nothing no one has seen before, but it’s still a highly enjoyable entry into the genre.
