Weak

I agree with Unidraconus' review that this one's more for kiddies. I don't think much research went into this either as far as Japanese culture or how ninjas were trained or operated. A regional ninja academy? Really? Complete with Hogwarts-like instructors for different subjects? Seemed like the author was just adapting his/her American suburbian experience to a "ninja school". Maybe I'm wrong but that doesn't sound historically accurate to me. Anyway, story is predictable and the fight scenes are disappointing and few and far between. Overall, very generic with ninja overlay.

Too short

I must agree with many, your choices do not have much impact on the game, The story is short and definitely not worth three dollars. However it's not a bad story, the worst part of it is it ends on a cliffhanger.

Disappointing.

This was not what I hoped it would be. I wanted darker writing with more stealth, action, suspense and kick-buttery.
What I got was a kids novel fit for ages 8-12.
Even then the characters were shallow, choices not very ninja, story not very thrilling, fighting not very entertaining. Over all unless your a kiddo that hasn't read much this is hardly worth the time unless you just want to say you read a ninja story.
I played one time then lost interest. In my younger days when choice books were the rage this would have been published in limited print...

Great game!!, but...

Love this choice game but can you make a choice game on an academy life story, like a high school life game. That also includes love and action, lol sorry if this too much. :p

okay

the story is decent but it ends too soon and on a super abrupt note, though i haven't played too many times, so there might be more to it. it does have good flavor options though and it also seems like the game might be getting updates in the future?
