2023-04-15	Lasse Wennerstrand	Not the game described. It's a nonsensical humor game that trolls the player. It describes itself as a dirty, gritty street fighting story, but it involves supernatural and paranormal elements, lofty humor that undermine the set up. Really disappointed and wish I could get a refund.
2023-02-08	Rory Long	Way too expensive for what it is. I really should have listened to all the other reviews. The content warning definitely makes it seem worse than it actually is - which is, frankly, not much. Even the sexual content was overhyped and lackluster (you want detailed sex scenes? Go play A Kiss From Death. Damn.) Also, a cyoa game should let you..choose your own adventure. Eh, it was kinda funny on occasion. I liked the don't hug me I'm scared reference.
2020-08-22	Desireus Blackfoot	Really the most unique and out there COG/HG I've ever seen. Shame people are still getting triggered lol it clearly gives you the warnings beforehand. But yeah this is a video game more than a novel and that's what makes it so unique to me, plus the author clearly didn't take anything story wise seriously, just had fun. That's what makes it pure joy.
2020-07-06	Adam Young	I actually purchased this book.I played this multiple times and finally beat it after doing some research.The actual ending was very anti-climatic, the story could have used more of an ending than it did.The training between fights would be better if it weren't a choice given to you with a yes or no.I always hit yes without realizing that if you say no it provides a different option for training.This might be partially responsible for so many people disliking this game.I don't recommend this one
2020-06-08	Dorian Reid	I'm always on the CoG and HG forums and unfortunately, the author is making more stupid games like this one. Games where your choices don't matter, where you can't do certain things even though you're given the option to do so. It's arbitrary, realistically. Nothing you do works apart from guessing at the answer to see if you make it through. Plus, it's also breached a lot of copyright scenes and moments from other stories and shows. Overall, don't purchase this trash story written by a child.
2020-05-26	Lore Master	My problems with the game does not stem from the writing, i actually consider this product very well written and hilarious. The massive problem with this game is its false advertising and its almost impossible to beat without scrapping your own character in favor of appeasing the authors meta. I reccomend the author focus less on stats and more on balancing his games in the future. The writing is impressive for a rookie but his stat balancing is garbage dont buy the game if u plan on beating it.
2020-02-24	A Google user	Seriously the stats are useless and mean nothing. So at first the stats do something although as you continue on it gets annoying because, your stats are useless. The writing is childish although I'll admit it's not that bad as people are saying, well maybe for me, like I chuckled or grinned at some parts. The only REAL PROBLEM with the game are the stats are freaking useless. Way OVER PRICED, if it was like 3 or 4 dollars(CND) I would gave it more slack; felt like I wasted my money.
2020-02-12	A Google user	Irritatingly falsely advertised, I expected a gritty ctime drama and from the beginning it gives you a poorly written content warning. Big redflag from page 1. The story cintains multiple choiceless options and takes you on wacky adventures completely unprompted. If there was some warning beforehand I would have much less of an issue. Overall not the worst Hosted Game, as the writing itself is grammatically sound, but definitely not what the game says it is.
2020-01-25	A Google user	I knew I should have done the free play before buying this and really regretting it now. Stay away from it. It only gets that one star because it is unique and could have been something good but terrible choices, badly written, and your stats don't do anything. Once restarted it ten times to try different combinations at one fight and nothing changed it was pre set so you'd always lose it. Nice concept but awful, awful execution.
2020-01-16	A Google user	I'll address the elephant in the room. Most of the negative reviews are because of how Hosted Games chose to market this game. It has so much more of a tongue-in-cheek approach to an almost fighting anime vibe. It took me a bit to adjust my expectations for a gritty mood. Overall, I think it's wildly entertaining, and I laughed a number of times. I don't often feel like I can't predict exactly what's through the next door. So, if you can imagine a title graphic that looks more like Bleach and expect more speeding fight special effects than gritty street murders, you won't be disappointed. Give it a shot.
