  Those hoping to fully LARP as a lavish lady of 18th century France won’t be disappointed with Ambition: A Minuet In Power. This invigorating visual novel has all the twists, trysts, romance, and intrigue you’d want from a game about high society on the cusp of the French Revolution.

  Ambition: A Minuet in Power aims to be a graphical novel with a difference and comes very close to realizing its goal. The problem is that the game does not manage to keep up the quality of its writing or make its encounters unique enough.

  8.1

  Ambition: A Minuet in Power is a highly interactive visual novel that details love and intrigue during a turbulent historical time not often covered in video games. It was a trip through time to an earlier Paris that proved memorable and engaging, even if the journey wasn’t without flaws. Visual novel fans looking for more romance with political machinations to maneuver through and a bit more interactivity than one usually expects from the genre should give this one a closer look.

  Es superior a sus pares literarios y televisivos precisamente por cómo usa la interactividad para obligarte a dejar de lado hilos argumentales y oportunidades que tu Yvette de ese momento tendrá que explorar más adelante, en otra partida; el texto pero sobre todo el tejido que forman los sistemas, sencillos pero efectivos, que rigen tu relación con París y sus gentes hacen el resto para que recordar a través de Yvette en nuevas runs no resulte raro sino muy estimulante. No me extrañaría encontrar a gente que pierda la cabeza por un juego como este; no por nada está siempre presente la sombra de la guillotina.
