Worth noting that Zombie Exodus does have a good amount of romance – not sure other reviewers have mentioned that yet.

Yeah, ZE has great romance.

Slammed! is my favourite of the official choice games. It definitely seems like an odd choice but it has one of my favourite choice game romances in it. I don’t even like wrestling so it’s a sign of how great the author’s writing is that I loved Slammed!

Choice of Deathless is another favourite of mine. I liked one of the romances in it but did feel it could have been more well developed. The plot was great though, as was the setting, actually the whole concept is one I really enjoyed and I liked the degree of choice.

Paradox Factor could definitely be read as a sci-fi romance since love is one of the primary motivations. I wouldn’t say the story is a romance as such since it tackles everything so quickly in broad sweeping strokes.

I liked one romance in Choice of Broadsides, but I didn’t think it was wrapped up well enough. It was clear it was added in after the fact.

The ones in Choice of the Vampire (have only played the first game) were too depressing for me. Although Vampire is good.

Heroes Rise is rather polarising. Some people love the relationships in it, others not so much. I enjoyed the game.

And everything else everyone has said here. I’ve likely forgotten many.

as everyone said, ZE, Tin Star, and Life of a mobster all have good romance options.

Pretty much all of them. My favorite series thus far is Heroes Rise, but I was surprised how much I liked Slammed! considering my total ignorance of everything wrestling-related. It was really well written and easy to get into even if wrestling’s not your thing.

Way Walkers: University should be one of the choices when it comes to romance. The characters are interesting and pretty well thought up. You don’t get the opportunity to put a ring on it, because the MC is like… a teenager, but it’s good nonetheless.

jcury · 2014-07-16T15:31:24.000Z

I never played Slammed or Way walkers, maybe I should try them out

Samuel_H_Young · 2014-07-16T15:41:09.000Z

@jcury
Slammed! has a crippling amount of fake choices, but it’s good otherwise. Way Walkers is amazing.

FairyGodfeather · 2014-07-16T16:17:13.000Z

@Samuel_H_Young

I disagree. I’ve disagreed previously, I’ll do so again. I loved Slammed, I loved the amount of choice there, and I thought that the fake choices were well implemented and close to invisible. I think they did actually add to the story.

@FairyGodfeather
To me, they were very obvious and extremely depressing xD. It seemed like there were even more than in The Prodigy.

PancakesofDoom · 2014-07-17T01:59:02.000Z

Oh wow thanks so much for all the great suggestions! I think I’ll try Zombie Exodus or Way Walkers first

Razgriz · 2014-07-17T07:40:19.000Z

I’m pretty sure me and FairyGodFeather are the only two who like slammed and I honestly hate wrestling. However the game that sounds the best has to be…PancakesofDoom! I mean who wouldn’t want to play a game where pancakes have become evil?

Samuel_H_Young · 2014-07-17T08:18:27.000Z

I like Slammed! and hate wrestling xD.

Razgriz · 2014-07-17T08:19:51.000Z

Lol that’s how everyone who’s liked it feels it seems

myariv · 2014-07-17T09:31:20.000Z

I held out on getting Slammed! until I’d played every other title. I finally caved and got it while waiting for Herofall. I was so surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It’s one of my favorites. I also love Deathless, but that’s probably partly because I’m a lawyer.

Razgriz · 2014-07-17T09:35:16.000Z

Did anyone in Deathless remind you of anyone at work?

Havenstone · 2014-07-17T11:47:24.000Z

I think Slammed is terrific. Not got a bad word to say about it, really.

myariv · 2014-07-17T13:40:54.000Z

@razgriz Yepper. I think it was that whole undead thing.

Razgriz · 2014-07-17T13:48:20.000Z

@myariv ah ha! I knew that there were a lot of zombie lawyers out there

Guenevere in the WIP section is all about romance. ^-^ And it’s one of my favorite WIPs. ZE, Life of a Mobster, Waywalkers, and The Clueless Teen’s Guide to Living with the Supernatural (WIP, and another favorite).

Personally I see both the WIPS have the most romance, as they’re both almost completely about the romance, Guenevere especially.
