In the high-stakes game of politics between two feudal lords, you are a ninja village's chosen warrior. Earn glory for your clan as you battle your enemies, becoming a master of magic, combat, and stealth.
Choice of the Ninja is an epic interactive fantasy novel by Katherine Buffington, where your choices determine how the story proceeds. The game is entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--but driven by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Will you bring peace to your village, or return home in shame? Will you serve your daimyo obediently, or defy his orders for the greater good? Or will you use your powers of invisibility for personal gain? The choice is yours.

Overpriced but decent
Notable wonder
For a three dollar game I excepted romance, intrigue and adventure. I did not get romance and the intrigue was a joke, not worth 3 dollars
Enjoyable but too short

The story is interesting, but I want to know more! It feels unfinished, and ends with something akin to a "to be continued". Not nearly as involved as other Choice of Games games, but a story I would like to hear more about.
Excellent!

I'm pleased to say that Choice of Ninja is an excellent app with several different endings and a well-planned storyline that keeps things interesting! I must say that it is a bit Naruto-ish, but overall, I'd say that this is the best game yet in the Choice of Games series, next to Choice of the Dragon! Congratulations on the outstanding app!
Great game!

Overall this is a pretty solid game, the only hitch being that the stats don't feel like they affect the outcome as much as in other Choice of Games. The game is also a tad short, but based on the ending I assume that updates will be made.
Fun, but not worth the money.

(ACTUALLY 3.5 STARS) It was quite short, and in the end, despite this being a "Choice" game, you don't get much choice. I was in a terrible mood and decided to be a bad guy, and I ended up still being Honorable Ninja Emiko!
Disappointed

Choice of Games earns top marks for Choice of Broadsides and Choice of Vampires because the writers wrote a complex and multi-thread "choose your own adventure" story. In "Ninja" it seems that your stats are just for show and have little to no effect on the story. The story itself is rather linear and nearly incapable of losing. The idea of this story was a good one but it is just a hollow shell of what the game should be. So much wasted potential! I want to see reoccurring characters, evolving relationships, intrigue, and most importantly- I want a game with CHOICES.
Cliffhanger

Overall an excellent game, however, when they leave a to be continued ending, you sort of expect a sequel. This isn't the first game they've made with a ending like this and no sequel in sight. Plz stop making new games and start tying up the loose ends of your others
Not worth it 2.5 stars

They will never update with more chapters.... Deceptively short, such an interesting plot would have made for at least an hour of play but alas. While it seems to have the potential for growth this felt like the demo should have, ending on a very random note and no closure.
Lacking

Being a huge fan of choice of games I have to say that this wasn't up to par for me. The stats didn't seem to really effect the story and the character development was lacking. I feel like this game is just a teaser for the next chapters. Whether they will come or not I'm not sure.
Possibly the worst Choice Of Game

I haven't played all of the CO games, but I've played most and this is the most disappointing. It had the potential to be really great with such an interesting focus. But it was short and not compelling. I didn't feel drawn into the world like I usually do. The characters and story were unremarkable and flat. It felt like there was very little control over what happened. I have never only played a CO game one time through, but this one I uninstalled immediately after I finished it the first time.
