Samurai of Hyuga

Very good

fun

This is a really fun series that focuses a lot on relationships and character development along with a steady plot. The choices mostly focus on the type of personality you want to maintain interspersed with lasting decisions that follow through the series. I would highly recommend to any fans of IF.

This is a weird case. I can very much recommend this game. I can absolutly not recommend the series that follows. The downvote is for the series. Book 1 starts with a good setup, getting us into a very well build world and allowing us to create a very customisible maincharacter, the ronin, who reacts based upon our characterisation. Your playstyle changes quite a bid how the story plays out. There is a cast of well-written characters that form the party. Book 2 is basically an anime filler episode, without a climax and a buildup that goes nowhere but at least your choices and the characterisation you made still matter. Your party continues to matter. Book 3 has a lot of railroading. Your choices matter little, stats do not matter for the two bossfight wich get resolved anticlimatic in the text. Your party starts to leave or get killed of and the new introduced well written character doesnt stay around at the end. Thank to no climax in book 2 this book has two storys as the story from the last book has to still be resolved and the second story, despite beeing interesting does not get enough time. Book 4 has the complete party leaving and the ronin be helpless, useless and at the mercy of their ex-lover. Said ex-lover is a monster and used to be a well written example of an abusive relationship. Now they are apparently a sympathic woobie who the character is deeply in love with and totally awsome and way better than the ronin. The caracters and story suddenly read as if they where written by someone with a massiv yandere-fethish. Stats and choices do not matter at all anymore. The game is basically a book in wich you can only decide if you romance the yandere or not. Even that doesnt matter that much. And forget about any previous romances, they are beeing cancelled. Book 5 starts with the ronin drinking pis_ and nearly eating s_it. It doesnt get better from there. And the sad thing is: the writing gets better from entry to entry (Yandere-Fethish aside), so you see a massive waste of potential. Buy this game, do not buy this series.

RECOMENDADÍSIMO. Había oido que este juego era excelente, pero nunca lo habría probado porque la trama no me atraía mucho, pero lo probe y sólo me puedo culpar a mi mismo de no haberlo jugado antes. Es sencillamente una excelente obra, listo para darle duro a toda la saga.

Immensely satisfying arc with more content if you're hungry, if you love stories at all play this ♥♥♥♥
