It is rare to come across a CYOA that really stick to your mind like a full-fledged book that you have read in the library. Sometimes a CYOA is too lax with its story telling as it focuses on the different choices a player could make that, more than often than not, has no relevance to the over all story. Samurai of Hyuga is not that kind of game.

Samurai of Hyuga boasts a realism that is mixed with a healthy does of idealism that depends on the player’s choices. The story is quite linear, but one might not even notice the linearity as they are swept away by the harsh world of Hyuga.

The game starts with you choosing the gender of your character, I chose male as I often play male characters in video games. You have a free range on shaping this character of yours and he/she could be a charming overprotective pervert, or maybe a stoic aloof drifter. Certain dialogues and plot points depends on what kind of personality you had chosen for your character, this was a welcome surprise for me as I am fond of main characters who has a personality. And better yet, you were the one who shaped this mc’s personality, something that greatly pleased my rp’ing senses.

Note that you must stay in character or else you will suffer consequences. Staying in character raises your attunement level, this is something I found interesting as this create some sort of connection between the character and the player that requires some level of focus on the player’s side. To beat this game, you would have to KNOW your own character. And thus, it was easy for me to get attached to my character whom I named Hiroto.

The story was a joy to read and to play through. The world of Hyuga is harsh and brutal, but just like a dark tunnel, there is light at the end. The characters accompanying your MC embodies some of its light. These characters are somehow flawed and wonderful in their own way. Some of them follows a cliché anime archetype but the author had written them so well that you can’t help but be endeared to them.

Masami

(I shall follow the character names from the hetero male route), is a tsundere. I usually dislike these types of characters but Masami, with her innocence and golden heart, had become one of the few tsunderes that I had come love. She is pure in a sense, the light in our MC’s dark world. Although I don’t want her to become a love interest, she’s too young for Hiroto and my character had come to love her as a daughter.

Hatch

is my favorite character so far. He is loyal to a fault and righteous. He is not as badass as our MC but what he lacks in brawn, he has plenty in loyalty. He is basically a Hufflepuff.

Momoko,
84023903_875123869601329_2233982433915568128_n (5).jpg

was written well in this book, although I had come to dislike her on the second book which is a shame as her character development in this book was decently made. Hope that she would get a good comeback at the later books.

Toshie

my favorite female character. Her subtle interactions with the MC their slow journey to achieving a mutual respect was such a joy to read. I also noticed that It was her whom the MC silently confided with when it comes to Hiroto’s dark past. I actually ship my MC and Toshie together.

And last but not the least, Junko…

Put that thing back where it came from or so help me…

Overall, Samurai of Hyuga is an amazing game, an amazing start to a lengthy series.

(pictures above are my own interpretation of the characters)

Would you recommend this to other users? HELL YEAH! This is a MUST read. You wont have any regrets!

Rating (1-5): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Though to be more on-topic, I still do have a lot of love and respect for the first game, even though it set up high expectations for me that it couldn't reach. Have you played the other games, and will you be reviewing those as well? Don't let my opinion spoil you, I have friends who still say that it is great.
Yes, I have played the other books! And yes, I will review them. 😁

I can understand your opinion on the third game though, the first half definitely had a different tone from the first two books and It could be jarring to most. I'll share my thoughts on the review on it. Definitely had a lot of criticisms on the first half of Book 3 despite the fact that I'm an avid Toshie fan. Even Toshie's sudden love of mystery was jarring to me as it kinda came out of nowhere.
