Jul 30, 2025Despera Drops isn’t the best otome VN out there by any stretch of the imagination. Still, it has some memorable moments and excellent gameplay gimmicks to help separate it from the crowd. If you pick up the game with expectations tempered, you’ll find some enjoyment along the way. Despera Drops is a heist with mixed results, but even if just barely, there are overall more positives in its favor.

Mar 6, 2025I love the idea behind what’s going on in Despera Drops, and the push for answers and vindication meant I really loved seeing explanations in this otome game. Unfortunately, I feel that “thriller” part and some great character designs are the only focus. It doesn’t do a good job of balancing that with the romantic elements you’d expect from the genre. Add in two routes I felt weren’t handled well and, while I do recommend parts of it, I don’t feel it’s a perfect crime.
