Reception

Five absolutely atmospheric stories, five love-struck girls and one boy who has to solve everything. Beautiful audio and graphics that complete the atmosphere of the whole game. The only disappointments are the resolution, the mute main character and the far too small stack of drawn character moods. Some may find Bokuten - Why I Became An Angel tedious,...

There's so much to love about Bokuten – Why I Became an Angel that makes the multi-year wait worth it.

It may have some issues regarding a couple of its character routes and true ending, but Bokuten is a solid visual novel all things considered. The protagonist is great, the choices actually have an impact, the translation is good, the art is fine, and the common route pretty much carries the entire experience on top of that.

I would personally recommend Bokuten - Why I Became an Angel, again with the caveat that the reader knows what they are getting themselves into. This is a very sad, emotional experience with some highly disturbing scenes and topics. It is also a very well written visual novel with a great story that I would highly recommend to someone who wants to experience...
