Finally getting the game, so I decided to start reading the translated story. I'm almost done New Hebijou's story, and I have to say that I'm very impressed by it. The characters are well developed, their interaction is great, there is a lot of intrigue, and the shinobi world is being developed further.
I was really not expecting so much out of this story. I'm really pleasantly surprised, and I hope the other school's stories are just as interesting.
On the topic of how the story can be rather "grimdark", I think that its handled better in Shinovi Versus than in the original games, as the balance of tone is better. We're not going from a dark back-story straight to boob groping. Plus, I feel the "grimdark" is used well in the development of the New Hebijou characters quite well.
