This week’s roundup for the ongoing series of cute anime Steam games! I’m gonna have to think of better titles for these soon.

As always, buying the Steam keys already in circulation on G2A is my recommendation! Don’t wait for Steam Sales, you can get them for cheap right now!

The Flower Shop: Summer in Fairbrook

From friends at Winter Wolves!  Deji’s colorful art work is always beautiful!
In this VN with farming simulation elements, you play as a male character
romancing the ladies of Fairbrook.

As of the time of me posting this, the listing for this game is only a couple bucks!

The Flower Shop: Winter in Fairbrook

Sequel to the above with a more streamlined farming mechanic,
this time you’re a female protagonist romancing the fellas!
*whispers* go for the glasses one, always go for the glasses one.

As with the above, this normally $14.99 game is only a couple bucks right now at the link above!

Croixleur Sigma

I have to double- and then triple-check my spelling of this one every time LOL.
Coixleur Sigma is an awesome action battle game!
The designs for the fighting girls are so cool!

–

Bunny Must Die: Chelsea and the 7 Devils

An action platform game starring a bunny-eared little lady.
…What else is there to convince you to play it besides that?

–

Fading Hearts

Oh man, I remember playing demos of this game from Sakura River
back when it was still in production – it is awesome and mysterious,
with deceptive NPCs and twists and turns all throughout the plot. *o*

Now an ongoing series! ᕙ( * •̀ ᗜ •́ * )ᕗ

As usual, I recommend getting Steam games through G2A, where you can buy Steam keys for much cheaper!

Fairy Bloom Freesia

A super fun action fighting game in an adorable package!
EVERYTHING SHOULD COME IN PACKAGES AS ADORABLE AS THIS!
You will pretty much win me over any time “fairy” is in the title of something.
I LOVE THE MAIN CHARACTER AND I LOVE THE SETTING!!

–

Magical Diary

From friends over at Hanako Games!!
I think this is actually the only dating sim on the list for once.
You can customize a character at the beginning!!
And the revealed identities for the characters are super twisty,
this game is overall just a great experience.

–

Eryi’s Action

This takes place in a magical fantasy setting like Fairy Bloom Freesia –
I personally am IN LOVE with the color palette of this game,
and how soft and round and cute all of the characters and critters are!
It’s an exciting action platformer!

–

Cherry Tree High Comedy Club!

Capcom published this seemingly out of the blue, I had to check it out!
The girls are really cute, the humor is fun and kooky.
I love walking around the town area just talking to all the weird NPCs.
Weird NPCs are the best part of any video game.

–

Fortune Summoners

This comes from the makers of Recettear!
Like Eryi’s Action, it’s a sidescrolling action platformer!
I like the characters in this a lot, especially how they talk among one another
RPG-style, with very nicely-drawn portraits.

Hey you!  Are you friends with me on Steam? ^w^

Here is a small handful of cute anime games I like~  I will definitely be making more posts on this subject, too!

I recommend buying Steam games through G2A, where you can buy keys for MUUUCH cheaper than their listing on Steam’s store!  Much easier on the wallet and takes the stress out of building up a cute games library for yourself! n_n  (If any of the pages linked here are sold out of keys, bookmark them and check back! :O)

Nameless ~the one thing you must recall~

Just LOOK at how beautiful this game is!!
Cheritz is also responsible for the equally beautiful game, Dandelion,
and this new story from them is even more emotional
(but with plenty of fun parts, too~).
It is fully voiced with Korean voice acting, too!

Hatoful Boyfriend

Okay, I have written about this game OVER AND OVER.
But that’s because it is seriously one of my favorite games ever,
and in the time it’s been since I last wrote about it, it got an updated HD release on Steam!
Now it’s accessible to even more players, and the pigeons are sparklier than ever.
Here’s a link to the Collector’s Edition, which includes bonus manga and yearbook extras~

–

Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale

Okay, this is probably a game you’ve already heard of.
But it’s so cute, and I like it so much!  I especially appreciate the intro
where a small homage to Dragon Quest III (one of my favorites ever) plays out.
I love the fusion of shop simulation combined with action RPG dungeon exploring!
The NPCs you can pair up with are all so cool!

–

X-Note

A game from our friend Zeiva!  Her art is always so beautiful.
This one is about the heroine Essi and her mysterious travels through time~
There are MAAAANY cute boy characters in this one. ; 3;

This is also one of the instances were you REALLY see the advantage of G2A
over buying these regularly.  As of the time of me posting this,
you can get this $20 game for 60 cents!! *O*

–

Forward to the Sky

Looook at how cute and pretty this is!  I actually just discovered this game while I was compiling this list.
It looks to be a very cute little action RPG game, with this precious sword-wielding heroine~

–

Long Live the Queen

This game is eeeeveryone’s favorite!  It’s similar to the old Princess Maker raising sims,
with the added twist that the humor hits hard and dark in this one –
you will die over and over!  A lot of people have fun getting through this one,
because it’s so hard to reach a successful end, but it’s so awesome
watching your fledgling queen grow and conquer her foes LOL!

Game info from the developers’ site:

Cinders is our fairytale-inspired visual novel, ditching the passive protagonist and banal morals of the original story in sake of a more serious approach.

Cinders is an atmospheric visual novel, illustrated by Gracjana Zielinska.

It’s a story of four women and what made them who they are, inspired by the classic fairytale of Cinderella. A story about balancing freedom and dreams with circumstance and harsh reality; about growing up and finding out the true meaning of independence. Distancing itself from the judgmental simplicity of the original, Cinders tries to explore the more complex nature of oppression, responsibility and innocence.

The game focuses on characters and their motivations, and is heavy on player choices and role-playing. With 120 decision points and over 300 options to choose from, Cinders allows you to shape the main character’s personality and the course of the story.

Why it’s cool:

• A serious take on a classic fairytale story.
• Beautiful art by illustrator Gracjana Zielinska.
• Tons of choices and several different endings.
• Moody soundtrack by Rob Westwood.
