Hakuōki: Bakumatsu Musouroku (薄桜鬼 幕末無双録) is the 5th installment in the Hakuouki game series. Instead of being a visual novel much like previous games, Bakumatsu was released as a Hakuouki Adventure & Action game - both mutually expanded as the story proceeds.　

Instead of reading your way through the adventure, you hack and slash your way through enemies in a recreation of the anime [ Example: you actually fight in the Ikedaya incident] or see the new original ‘what if’ story specially made for the game which includes 2 new villains.
