### 4/5 — Good

*2023-09-25*

Scared there was no seq

### 3/5 — Great book, cost more than you think

*2023-07-13*

The story is well written and extremely interesting. The thing is, it doesn’t say in the description that the story doesn’t conclude with this book, or that this is a series. No spoilers, but it ends with a cliffhanger and then prompts you to buy the next book. Kind of a gotcha. Great story like I said, be prepared to buy 5 books is all.

### 5/5 — Nice writting

*2022-04-11, version 1.0.8*

Stats (and choices) does matter in the long run. Cant wait for more

### 5/5 — Best of all the games here.

*2021-03-25*

Nuff’ said. This and the other books are the best here 👀

### 5/5 — Players review

*2021-02-10, version 1.0.5*

Sorry as this review is long’ish:  I’ve read and played all the current Hyuga books along with any text-based or story driven game you can imagine.  So far, Samurai of Hyuga game (the entirety of the series) is beyond anything the play store and other sites have to offer in comparison.  All the books lead and grow onto eachother, soon you feel love or hate for characters to the point I don’t normally feel but did for this series.  With each book I think they are lengthier with the most recently released book (#4?) being the longest with some big turn of events that made me want to cry (no spoilers).  I am very much looking forward to the next book.

### 2/5 — Pay more...

*2020-08-09, version 1.0.5*

Really? Leaving us on a cliffhanger like that and asking us to play for the rest?

### 5/5 — Beyond Incredible

*2020-06-28*

Originally didn't think I'd end up buying this because I haven't been impressed by many interactive novels but NOT buying it was absolutely not an option after the free chapter....that was some of the best two hours of my life. I love everything about it. The story and characters have me as hooked as any big name movie or novel series. I also really appreciate the touch of being able to choose your gender as well as the gender of your romantic interest. 

Going back now to replay with different choices. MAN!! My wallet is just waiting to open for the next stories. Absolutely amazing.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2020-02-05, version 1.0.5*

Started out okay so I bought it. After reading a bit  more I seriously regretted the purchase and had to refund. Disappointed AF but I will say it had potential...

### 5/5 — Bruv

*2020-01-26*

If I had the power to do so I would make an interactive anime kind of game on Netflix except this would take to long and expensive most likely but I love the game!

### 5/5 — Buy this.

*2019-11-24*

I wish I could rate higher than a five this is one of the best CoG out there. Plus it has cute Red-panda in it.
