Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love the beautiful art and music of this visual novel game, much so with its dialogues that are being voiced by some well-known Japanese voice actors. I’m fond of action and mature games so I really enjoyed playing this one. Aside from the romance, this game is very different from other ‘otome’ games as it delivers some shocking twists and turn of events. Storywise, the plot’s been interesting as the MC delves into the side of mafia life following through the different routes you’re aiming for. There’s also heavy emphasis on religion as well. (I did enjoy reading the fun tidbits of Italy, especially food). As its rating goes, it does contain dark, slight gore and some unexpected red flags so a word of caution before you purchase this game. Otherwise, if you’re the type who is willing to try a different kind of visual novel game then this would be definitely worth getting.

The protagonist's encounter with these mafia families is really interesting. It is not a game about romance only. It also talks about the deep connections and bonds within each mafia family. I really enjoy reading the story. Some of the endings are really sweet, and the others are quite shocking. The artwork is also amazing, and I always return to the game just to appreciate those arts in the CG gallery. Lastly, the content of this game is a little bit more mature and darker than the average otome games.

I've nearly completed a route for this game but so far it doesn't disappoint. The art is incredible. Action scenes and character battle poses flow seamlessly. The game is fully voice acted. For those who are curious about what kind of game this is, it's an "otome" which is a heavily story-based game targeted towards women. All games of this type center around a female protagonist that gets to choose a male suitor to develop a romance with. If you like and play dating simulator phone games then this is the game for you. Here's Piofiore's synopsis: "Liliana Adornato was born and raised in the church in the center of the Italian town of Burlone. Three criminal organizations control parts of the city, and Lili discovers that she is literally in the center of their turf wars. Her encounters with the leaders of the Falzone, Visconti, and Lao-Shu mafia lead to danger and distraction. Once Lili is drawn into the shadowy world of crime Families, she realizes there is no going back."

Piofiore is a well-written and suspenseful visual novel. The story follows a young woman whose seemingly normal life becomes tangled with the ruling mafia families of her town. You play the game along with 5 handsome suitors who will romance you as each route reveal deeper levels of the story. The illustrations *chef kiss* are beautiful! I love this game! Religion is deeply involved with Piofiore. Without spoiling too much, there is a holy relic the MC is trying to uncover. If you are a Roman Catholic (or part of any sect of Christianity) you see moments when faith and the church are being questioned or challenged by SOME characters (not all, the MC is very devot). One part of the story I didn't agree with and it could be sensitive to devout Catholics/Christians. As a Catholic myself, I understand this particular part of the story it is pure fantasy and I do not take it literally. So please build a backbone and enjoy the game. :)

As of this review, I've completed three routes. So far, it's been an enjoyable experience. The routes are completely different from each other, so you'll have an original experience with each character. In addition, as you complete routes, parts of the (very short) common route change and open up to you, which makes going through the common route less boring. Each route has a best, good, and two bad endings, which are interesting and different (sometimes shockingly so). Also, there are side stories and extra content that take place after the good and bad endings that can be reached from the main menu that are satisfying. Despite how exciting and enjoyable Piofiore is, it is a game featuring criminals who do bad things, so if you are uncomfortable with violence, implied sexual assault, torture, drug use, etc., I would caution you against this game.

This game is interesting and exciting I am really glad that I got it.
