YMMV / The Queen of Heart

• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • The games feature several characters from diverse visual novels (And other games) by Leaf. Not much later, Eternal Fighter Zero would do the same, this time with Key/Visual Arts characters.
  • And for some characters, this wouldn’t be their last appearance in a Fighting Game. In June 2011, some characters would reappear in Aquapazza, a Fighting Game developed jointly by Aquaplus and Examu (Of Arcana Heart fame), whether as playable (Multi and Chizuru, with the latter becoming the Final Boss in Another Story) or support characters (Serika, Yuki, Rina, Mizuki and Yu).
• Moe: The games feature a cast of cute girls from Leaf works, so all characters count to varying degrees.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • Demon Chizuru's Level 3 super: from the moment it connects, a dark, shadowed picture of Chizuru pops up on-screen like a Screamer Prank (Minus the scream, thankfully), followed by a text in Japanese: あなたを殺します (anata o koroshimasu: "I will kill you"), then a quick slash, and a blood splatter that covers almost the sntire screen; and right after Chizuru completes her move, if you pay close attention to her sprite, she actually has her hand tainted in red. Considering that The Queen of Heart games are colorful and cheery, having such a scare, and the fact it averts Never Say "Die" by using a death-related word, is a pretty Surprisingly Creepy Moment.
  • Something similar happens in Party's Breaker: Eimi's level 3 Super, called "Bloody Roar" has her go completely berserk and begins by slamming her opponent hard against a wall; once there, she proceeds to mercilessly beat her opponent to a pulp, and if you pay attention, with each punch she actually spills blood!, it's a good thing that Kazuki Sendo appears after a few seconds to separate Eimi from her poor victim, after which she has a "My God, What Have I Done?" moment, and goes back to her cheerful demeanor. Like Chizuru's example above, it's pretty nasty to see such a demonstration of brutality in such an adorable game, and comes off as surprisingly creepy.
