Choice of the Ninja

You play a character who's just graduating ninja training. Have a personal quest to find out what happened to your missing parents. The main conflict is between a brutal lord and a pacifist lord. Supporting the brutal lord will make you wealthy+powerful, whereas supporting the pacifist lord is seen as more honorable path. Two ninja companions, a nice guy and a vengeful girl. Seems like there's gonna be a part 2, but this is a complete story. Pros: -Need to pass a ninja graduation test right off the bat. It's like solving a puzzle. -Pick your gender and name after passing ninja graduation test. Kinda lets you test out your character. -Enjoyed the fight scenes, especially the final fight. Very tricky. -Total of 4 missions you wil go on, vary in length. -Multiple opportunities to switch sides, become a double agent, unlock alternate options by working for other characters. Cons: -Didn't like how all your stats started at 50. They go up the more you use them, neglecting a stat will lower it slightly. -There's a romance option that asks how you feel about a character you literally know nothing about and haven't meet in the story yet. -Disappointed by conclusion to 2nd mission. So much lead up, a complication that affects nothing, then you succeed. -Everyone tells you not to mention this to anyone, but there's never an option to mention it. -Alot of decisions ask: Do you do this by yourself or with your friends? Do you let your friends take the lead or do you take the lead? These just didn't seem like real decisions to me. -Allies, enemies, and wounds stayed at 0 throughout. Not sure how these work or affect the game. -A relationship bars for other characters would have been a good addition. -Stats didn't really seem to affect the game. Overall: -I enjoyed it, but I'd pick up on sale. Hoping for a part 2.

Pretty decent game

good game

Ich dacht am Anfang, schaut wie ein gutes Spiel aus, so mit Action und allem. Muss aber leider sagen es fühlt sich an als würde die Hälfte des Spiels fehlen (auch nach mehrfachen durchspielen). Für mich eins der schlechtesten Textbasierten Spiele bisher.

I was really enjoying this game, I died on my first playthrough so had another go. I went with the same options as before. All was going well until a fight scene where you are asked to choose between 2 sides. I chose accordingly, but then after I had no idea what was happening?? With all the choices that I had made up to that point, it then seemed that a game error had occurred and I was just left scratching my head?? I was now part of some 3rd side...I clicked forward a few turns but nothing I read made sense bearing in mind how I'd chosen to play the game to that point. To make things worse you can't retrace your steps and there is no save. So to get to that point again and picking another option to see if things start to make sense, I'd have to start from scratch. To be honest I don't know wether I can be arsed!
