Shall We Date? My Sweet Prince is an otome game by NTT Solmare, as part of their Shall We Date? series. This game offers seven different guys for you to choose from, with a wide range of different personalities. Gameplay advances by Energy Point, with one refreshed every 4 hours (maximum 4 Energy at any time). In addition to making choices in some scenes, you also have various trials and item checkpoints that require you to perform certain tasks to raise your stats or obtain certain items in order to progress with the story. This is the free version. They recently released a paid version that gives you three of the princes stories for keeps. But then you must pay some ridiculously marked up price for the remaining princes and any side stories... Until they change the pricing structure, it may not be worth it unless you really LOOOOVE one of those three princes.

This game has a lot of really lovely illustrations, which is I partly why I was drawn to it. The overall setting also didn't sound overly violent or rapey, which is something that I can't really stomach in these sorts of games. On one hand, I guess variety is exciting, but I'm really not that big a fan of rapey otome games (I'm lookin' at you, Bidding for Love...).
The Energy-based gameplay is one I prefer over the set number of daily scenario tickets, because I have no patience and I just want to know what happens next! However, some of the item checkpoints in this game are a bit sticky unless you want to spend money to buy the items. It takes some time to build up enough of the free currency to buy items such as keys, and some checkpoints require you have multiple keys. So instead of waiting on scenario tickets, I have spent several days just accumulating enough currency to get all my checkpoint items. I guess patience is required no matter what.
I do think this game is quite nice, and the illustrations are beautiful and intricate. I think all of the men are prettier (and some have longer/nicer hair) than I am... haha... I am not a big fan of the avatar illustration style, but that doesn't bother me much since I don't tend to play with that aspect of this game so much. My one big issue is that one of the guys is really young... Nagit is only 16, and that makes me feel a bit icky about playing his route.
=== STORY ===
I came here on a vacation, but...
Huh?
Now I have to choose a king from 6 princes!
Surrounded by princes, welcome to heart-throb paradise!
=== CHARACTERS ===
Melchiorre
Master Melchiorre takes care of his family and always keeps a close eye on everyone. He helps anyone in need ad is constantly giving people advice. His kindness has won him the hearts of many girls and he is hardly ever without female company. He is the first prince, making him closest to the next king, but he keeps declining succession. His royal highness never speaks to him of this, so everyone except Master Lambert is merely looking on.
Lambert
Master Lambert is proud and haughty, and some slanderous people claim he is a cold person. The truth is that Master Lambert is very patriotic and always trying to be an exemplary member of the royal family, which some people perceive as cold-heartedness. He values tradition and never reflects on his actions which may be a result of his heavy responsibilities as a prince. Perhaps you can take a bit of the load off Master Lambert's back.
Alvah
Master Alvah is the most cheerful and lively of the princes, warming his surroundings like a sun. His mental age leaves some things to be desired, but he makes friends easily and he's a popular man. Even when he is depressed or troubled, he never shows it in his actions. His heart is seemingly indestructible. I hope he knows how to vent his frustrations too...
Jun
Master Jun excels at scholarship and the martial arts. He even has political wits and knows how not to get noticed by his environment. He calculates his actions and people tend to think of him as calm and collected, but he's actually one of the most overbearing ones. Once he has found his target, he will obtain it at all costs, which tends to scare people. I guess you could call him single-minded.
Chezem
Master Chezem doesn't like people and noise very much, so he tends to stay in his room. He gets very adamant about things that interest him, and even loses sight of his surroundings. He's a bit of a scholarly type. He has an inquiring mind, so he might be interested in an exotic person like you, milady.
Nagit
Master Nagit is the youngest prince, and very much loved by his brothers. He is surrounded by adults, so he acts older than his age. Perhaps he's even more mature than several of his brothers. He's serious and pure and thinks too much about things, but I'm sure you can make him relax a bit.
Ivan
An extremely distinguished gentleman and butler at the royal palace. He never shows fear or trepidation at anything and always remains calm, making the most perfect butler imaginable. Everyone who works at the palace receives his strict leadership, but he is also very strict towards himself, and no one knows when and where the good man ever sleeps. He is trusted by his royal highness and all the princes, and it is no exaggeration to call him a necessary entity for this country to function.
