A refreshing fantasy!
Initially I couldn't find a way to express this: COG Fantasies have been so galling and tasteless I've felt I'm eating British food, and I didn't have high hopes for this BUT all of the sudden I realized I was reading a sexy, funny new adventure I was actually engaging in, unlike Way Walkers.
When some say this is immature and the writing lacks seriousness, I say the writing is honestly - I say this as someone who knows about different writing styles - not immature, but FULL OF WIT! The well calculated and smart kind XD, also this is a story that doesn't take itself too seriously, but it takes YOU seriously. It's like a pleasant supper popular LOTR fanfic that is just right! This is a must have for a RP app fan.

Simply Amazing
I don't usually write reviews, however I felt the need to with this choice game, besides a few grammatical errors the game is awesome.
A extremely well written cog's app
I love the premise of the story. I did not see that Plot twist from a mile away.
The writing is truly wonderful, and clever.
This is my favorite choiceofgames app so far

Interesting premise, needed better execution
I enjoyed the storyline itself, but there were a few issues, one of which was with the writing. It was often difficult to tell if your character was just thinking or if she was speaking out loud because quotation marks were misplaced or left out entirely. Some of the scenes were also very confusing, with logic jumps that aren’t explained to the player or certain actions that occur that just do NOT make sense in the scene. Also, the endings of the story just seem a bit… Out of place. There was all this build up, a twist, and then there’s this sort of half resolution. It just didn’t feel satisfying in any way. Also, for a choose your on adventure game there weren’t a lot of paths to go down.

Bringing Anime To Hosted Games
Incredibly fun game and one of the more entertaining games to come out of CoG.
Each scene is written in a way that is descriptive and colorful, making it easy for the reader to visualize in their head. Even more so, each scene seems like a scenario straight out of an anime making everything that much familiar.
That said, as anyone that watch enough mainstream anime will be able to identify, there is going to be sexual innuendos involved. A lot. Romantic options are going to be sexualized. That could be a deal breaker for some people. I don't know.
If you're into JRPGs or anime, give this game a try. Totally worth the money. If not so. I would actually still recommend it. One of the few multiple-choice games that shines light on NPCs and not just player choices.

Cool story and stat system, subpar writing.
This story isn't bad, it has it's flaws, but the characters and the choices themselves are appealing. There are two major flaws though:
1: The story needlessly references modern culture and modern games at times, ruining the immersion into the medieval fantasy.
2: The story is in dire need of some editing. It switches from an implied silent protagonist to one will bolded lines often, and scenes with magic often leave you not knowing what is even happening.
If you can put up with writing that maybe isn't the best, the story is rather nice though. Be prepared to play a magician, your love interests are the magi daughter of an evil lich, a childhood friend who aspires to be a paladin, and a cat girl thief(probably opposite genders if you like guys) and well.... They're not bad. Give it a shot if I haven't already turned you off.

Amazing!
This story was well worth the money. It's a pretty lengthy story with lots of romance and action. It has many choices to choose from too. Definitely worth every cent.
Not worth your money, move on.
This is a game that has some promise but lacks all subtlety. For the reading of 12 years old and up there's a number of words in here that are not anything a 12-year-old should be using. Also the adolescent jokes about bodies are just locker room lame. The author fixates away too much about women and how attractive they are objectifying them and it's really quite insulting to females who are playing this game. It also reads like someone ran it through Google translator at the last frantic minute.
In my mind there's some Romanian kid in his moms basement who hasn't been able to lose his virginity yet who sweating through this app, is hoping he can buy a car to impress the girl down the street if he can just sell enough of these.
Don't help the lad. By the time you're finished with this excruciating game you're probably wishing that you could just have Chinese water torture instead and get it over with.
Quotations pretty much disappear into the text and see you're wondering who's talking to who what's talking to want and exactly who is saying who to where. The verb to bear this misuse at least three times ( and yes I stopped and counted) and when you're busy editing the app because the author didn't you've lost the thread of the story and there's really no point in going on any further.
100 bug fixes later this might be playable until then save your money don't buy it.

Great story!
I was hesitant at first to buy it, but I'm glad I did! It had a great storyline and it kept things interesting. Plus it wasn't too short like many of these types of games are.
Simply amazing
I absolutely loved the game. I've played many text based games and never have enjoyed any as much as this one. I've played through 7 times and will probably revisit it over and over again. Worth every penny and more
