It’s March 19th, 1789 and King Louis XVI rules over France from the gilded halls of Versailles. France is a country of elegance and poverty, of ancient tradition and unstoppable change. It is a country on the brink of revolution.
You are a humble commoner, engaged to a Baron, who has invited you to come live with him in Paris. In Paris you face political turmoil, romance and thrilling parties. Face these challenges with the right choice in fashion and befriending the right people. It's your choice, do you support the Crown without exception, or do you join the Revolution to bring down the tyrannical monarchs of the country?
Ambition: A Minuet in Power was an absolute delight to play and it had so many things to offer. The learning curve at the start, despite the fact that there were good amount of tutorials, was rather steep, but after some time playing and a little bit of failure, the game was certainly enjoyable and a breeze to go through.
The romance partner choices in the game were fun and diverse, even though some of them were quite caricatured, it really made it more fun and enjoyable overall. I would have to say the priest Ludovico Sidotti was my favorite, not because he was a man of faith, but more so because he was questioning his own faith and struggling with pleasures of the flesh. It was an interesting take, and rather enjoyable. My least favorite romance partner had to be Louis-Antoine de Saint Just. He was rather handsome and I do enjoy similar personalities in other games quite often, but his personal story and the ending just didn't strike that much with me. Overall though, all of the characters were interesting in their own ways.
The gameplay itself was something that I hadn't seen before and at times it felt refreshing, but also little bit annoying and unrealistic. Why would a whole day go by just by visiting the clothes store? This made no sense to me, but I quickly crew accustomed to it and I felt like I knew when to do what.
Things that I wished that the game had done better, more artwork during the romance routes, or even the main story. There were only a few character focused pieces during the romance routes, but other than that, there was nothing interesting. I also kind of wished that there would have been a gallery where I could have viewed the pieces later, but sadly that was not the case.
Other than that, I feel like this game is a really solid and good one, and I do think those that are fan of dating sims should definitely try this out. Absolutely recommended by me!
