CYBIRD Co., Ltd. has announced that the latest game in their "Ikemen Series" of Romance Games, "Destined to Love: Ikemen Samurai Romances", is now available for play in both the App Store and GooglePlay. The website for this game (URL: https://www.cyikemen.com/DestinedToLove/) was launched in October 28.

"Destined to Love: Ikemen Samurai Romances" is CYBIRD's second English Ikemen title following "Midnight Cinderella: Ikemen Royal Romances," which was very well received by many North American customers and entered the Top 100 Overall Sales Ranking in the App Store with over 600,000 downloads.

Like its Japanese counterpart, in "Destined to Love: Ikemen Samurai Romances," the player is given five free chapter tickets each day to read a story about a modern-day woman who travels back in time to Kyoto at the end of the Edo Period, where she meets 13 hot heroes who are living in the last days of the shogunate. The characters that you are able to pick at the start of the game consist of the fierce Vice Commander of the Shinsengumi, Toshizo Hijikata, the Commander of the Shinsengumi's 3rd Unit, Hajime Saito, and a hero of the Choshu clan who is on the run from the Shinsengumi, named Kogoro Katsura. In order to match the tastes of the North American target, the first three available character routes have been changed from the Japanese edition.

As a result of the player's actions, the story can change substantially leading to a situation where the heroine either falls in love with one of the characters or is loved by one of them.

CYBIRD plans to continue to actively develop high-quality services with the aim of becoming the number-one provider of romance games for women worldwide.

- Outline of "Destined to Love: Ikemen Samurai Romances"

-- Story

In Japan, the dawn of a new era was approaching. You find yourself suddenly snatched from your peaceful life in modern days to a different time, and a landscape you've never seen before. You stand in-between two feuding powers -- the old shogunate, which has long been in control, and the growing forces of the imperial exclusionists, who wish to restore power to the emperor. Caught in the center of revolution, which side will you choose? Even if for a mere moment, whose arms will you find sanctuary in? Your romance awaits you in the past. Do you believe in destiny?
