About

Koi Suru Otome to Shugo no Tate: Re:boot the "Shield-9" is a visual novel with dating sim elements set in a futuristic research facility. Players navigate romantic and action-driven storylines while interacting with a cast of scientists and pilots tasked with defending Earth using giant mechs. The narrative splits into branching paths with dialogue choices influencing relationships and outcomes. New character routes for Yuuri Homura and Setsuko Sanada expand on the original 2007 story with updated scenarios and visuals. The remake adds high-definition graphics and refined animations to the original game’s mix of sci-fi romance and mecha battles. Community feedback highlights the improved presentation and deeper character arcs, though some note the pacing remains slow for action-focused players. Available on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch since November 2020, it appeals to fans of niche visual novels with mecha themes. At 30-40 hours for main routes, it balances replayability with optional sci-fi twists.
