Sorcery! Customer Service

I "bumped" this app on Apps Gone Free years ago, and I guess someone finally listened ;) I had been hoping to try this game out, as I am unfamiliar with the books & didn't really know what to expect. Especially now that Inkle has released a 4th app in the Sorcery series, I think it is wise to have freed up the 1st one! I have yet to start it (downloading now), but if it is as good as I think it might be... *then* I'll be willing to fork over for the rest of the series (& I will update my review)!! It's always a good idea to give patrons a taste of your wares. If the product is great, people will return... again & again. 😁 Thank you, inkle!!❣️!

The whole series of four apps is exceptional. Inkle has transformed now classic gamebook material (Sorcery! by Steve Jackson) into great games. It’s not the book simply ported to an app, it is a game inspired by and centered on the original texts, but Inkle has added so much that it is a very different product, in fact, a much better one, having considerably enriched the original adventure with many details. It is still mostly based on text, which might be unusual for a game, but you quickly realize the power of it is it leaves space to imagination. The four books use interactive tolkienesque maps and some beautiful illustrations that are based on the originals of the 1980’s books. Inkle managed to make the text quite easy to read by breaking it down elegantly with a well chosen font and the result is not overwhelming although it could have been too talkative. Sadly, the first book was the weakest in the series, and it is the same here for the apps, the first one is a little too easy and too linear (although they really worked hard on making it less linear and interactive than the books). However it still offers many hours of playing and it is full of good ideas. The writing is pleasant and the magic spells are fun to use. The combat system is a little simplistic but it works and it is not central to the adventure. If you’re hesitant because the four volumes seem expensive, be aware that the adventure will last very long, making it worth your money.

More than likely you could play this game ten times over and not see the same thing twice. It’s a very thought immersing, sophisticated, well put together and designed strategy game. The story, characters, lore, the items even are memorable, and the places you have traveled definitely will give you either fond memories or bad memories. Those memories and feelings can change quickly for one event that was previously not explored, or even a spell, or a different conversation can and will result in different reactions. I have so far, gotten through Sorcery One and half through Sorcery two, I did try Sorcery three and stopped to finish the second. I can’t wait to finish them all and play again. You do not need thought provoking applications or memories and brain enhancing apps. Strategy, euphoria, thinking five, six and sometimes well ahead, while being mindful to a common person and just as cautious with what appears benign, but being open to take risks progress you in so many facets and ways in your mind and the game. It is in many senses, almost a game that can be utilized as a very seldom life experience for real life. Always be careful in all situations but live your life and have fun always while listening to all your senses and feelings. Your mind is the present, logic, and memories or reason. Your heart is what guides you and the present moment to always be aware of and follow. Your gut is instinct and the future. Always remember that and it will be understood in time to know if your heart and mind are being tricked by something you can’t see if your gut is telling you no. Or if your gut says yes and your heart is weary is only telling you to proceed guarded but with courage. Always rationalize and never listen to anything but your internal voice. If it doesn’t feel right. It’s not. I guess I’ve been playing this game too much. Well. Back to it. Thank you!!!!

I did not die my first time through, and if u did the game in an hour something is wrong, there are 41 spells it took me that long to look over all the spells I would need to use during the journey, you need to carefully read the text to figure out the most appropriate spell, the name of the game is sorcery so it is best to use ur magic not just fight, even when u do use ur sword u need to read the text to help figure out the best stance to take. Overall I really loved the game and I am moving onto part 2. This is like a tabletop rpg, d and d type game, decision based, forcing u to think and take your time. Highly recommend this game.

Sorcery is a pretty fun game. I got about 2-3 hours out of it just from doing one blind playthrough before doing a few more to explore the other choices. This game gives a nice bit of freedom in how you play, you can be a goodie two-shoes, a total jerk, or somewhere in between, so you're not stuck playing the same, static MC every playthrough. The way magic is used in this game is also an interesting twist, and being able to reverse mistakes without having to completely restart is a welcomed feature, especially when you're just trying to explore alternatives.

This is great if you are into pen&paper RPGs or other text based games like that. Yeah, okay, the game dynamics aren't great (why do I need to swipe after choosing an option?) - but hey, it doesn't make the game any less fun. It's a little bit short for what it costs but I've immediately bought the second part - I wanna keep going!

This game was Really Really Really Really fun. I played this on my ipad and it was quite literally like playing a book. You have a mix of reading and using your own imagination, and drawings to help push your imagination. I played the first one for $5 and immediately fell in love with the storytelling and adventure. I love everything about this game and will recommend to anyone that is looking for a game that you can spend some time with and not feel like you have to constantly mash buttons to have fun. 10/10 thumbs up.

This is the one game I recommend to anyone I get on the topic with, gamer or no. It’s an incredibly beautiful and immersive choose-your-own-adventure series. I’ve played through all four parts several times and I always find myself searching the App Store for new games that are similar. I just wrote my first App Store review on one of those searches! That’s how much this game sticks with you.

This game and all other 3 apps in the series are carefully crafted gems. The source material was likely already great, but these devs took it too a new level. They’re obviously a small studio, but the attention to detail and depth in these games is surprising. A must for fans of fantasy, D&D, Choose Your Own Adventure, and old school gaming

People who are only playing the first part of this and giving up are not being patient. It's a delightful epic that starts simply as a classic Choose Your Own Adventure but ends with surprisingly sophisticated gameplay. $17 for all four parts, but more intricate story and character customization than $60 for Mass Effect: Andromeda.

I've had my eye on this series for a long time but could never justify the high price. Now that chapter 1 is free I must say this game is rich in story, variety, and gameplay. I still cannot justify paying $5 per chapter to continue on with the story, but know that the sequels will be amazing nevertheless.

I've been incredibly impressed with the quality of the Sorcery! series of games. This is the introductory episode, and the one with the least bells and whistles to offer, but it's still a deep, compelling and richly told experience. I strongly recommend it for anyone interested in thoughtful adventure games.

This game is worth your time to try out. It's well done but felt short to me. Maybe 1.5 hours. You can replay and make different choices so that would increase the playtime. I only needed three spells but there are tons more. Not sure if I will buy #2. Worried about the length of play.

The writing in this game is stupendous. It never feels like I’m just reading a book, I constantly feel like I’m weaving the path for my own adventure, and my own story is unfolding before me.

This is a very good game but uncomfortably short unless you go back and do other play throughs. For the price it’s not the best especially since I wanna play through the whole series once before restarting. 4 stars because of the length and price

The Sorcery series is nothing short of epic. Inkle have taken a classic of gamebook literature and improved upon it. While the first book stays more or less faithful to the source material (no bad thing!) the second book introduces an exciting subplot for the player to discover and plays around with the format of the main story whilst remaining true to the spirit of the original. The third chapter - whilst having the same overall goal as the book on which It is based - really changes things up. The mechanics and execution here are excellent, as is the execution, and the bittersweet twist at the end is a lot of fun. The fourth story is a grand finale and the final show down feels suitably epic and rewarding. The fact that there are multiple ends feels very satisfying. Each of these games is great in their own right, but the ability to affect future games with actions in previous ones really knits it all together well. The quality of the writing helps here - the game acknowledges what other actions you’ve taken and thus it feels like you’re in a living, breathing world. The fact that you get different dialogue choices and responses if you’ve been acting like an honourable hero vs being a despicable rogue is evidence of this. Speaking of writing, for what is essentially a piece of interactive fiction, Inkle have done a great job of making there games visually appealing. The maps look great, and the various characters you meet are well drawn. The fact that the original John Blanche art is utilised to great effect is the cherry on the cake. Sorcery’s sound effects do a good job of setting atmosphere - the birdsong during the day changes to crickets at night, and the contrast between the hustle and bustle of the city is marked when compared to the windswept emptiness of the Baklands. However, special credit needs to be given to the main score. Sweeping and inspiring, by the time you get to the fourth chapter hearing it gets you pumped for the show down ahead! Finally, praise must be given to the interface. Everything is simple to navigate and intuitive to use. Combat is a lot of fun - trying to second guess your opponent based on the descriptions of what is happening was a high point for me. Likewise the rewind mechanic - and the REASON for it - was well executed and useful. In short, regardless if you have read the original material or not, if you like a great, epic story you will love this.

An interactive fiction in a fantasy world with beautiful art, nice music and sound effects, and an interesting story. The battle system is innovative and fun even with its simplicity. So the first time I played through it I thought thought it was fairly interesting but I guess I made many overly cautious decisions that had me explore almost none of the areas and fast-tracked me to the end. Since then I tried replaying it making different decisions and found it vastly more entertaining, clever, and interesting; still somewhat short for its price though. Overall i thought it was fairly easy except for a couple of challenging battles. If you enjoy fantasy settings and RPG gameplay I think you will appreciate the depth and imagination of this world. I would highly recommend multiple play throughs or at least replaying some of the parts of the story to find the more interesting paths to Khare. You will be rewarded for being adventurous in this game. Although the price is steep at $5 I am interested enough in the story and the game is high-quality enough that I will probably purchase part 2.

This is the kind of innovation that Inkle is great at. This take on a fantasy RPG plays almost like the pen and paper games of old, but with fresh graphics and a very fun and open spell interface. Please keep them coming!

This game is amazing I bought the bundle with all four games and I’m into the 2nd game so many options to get through different scenarios you can get different results every time it’s amazing

Love the game but whenever I go to cast a spell, a weird character that looks like an omega symbol replaces some letters... it’s not super detrimental, but I screw up spells all the time exploring every town and mine and death trap this wonderful game offers.

I’ve owned and played all the games in the Sorcery series and loved them but I am disappointed that none of them have been optimized for the iPhone X screen.

The first one isn't as good as the 2nd or 3rd, but it's still great. It's like a D&D adventure for your iPhone. Love the story and the variety of choices. The animation is pretty good too. Hours of productivity lost to this immersive fantasy world!!

I loved 80 Days and liked Overboard, but the weird place names in the intro always made this seem foreboding. Glad I powered through. Great fun, great sequels.

A compelling story that inspires me to create my own stories. Casting spells and the small illustrations of characters and creatures are my favorite part of this great game.

It is “the” best storytelling experience on Apple marketplace. It makes story come alive and interactive in a way that is an unprecedented adventure!

The magic system was neat. Good art and storytelling

This and the whole series of games are the best rpg games on the App Store.

It was so good but I wish the next 3 were free

Best game of its type.

A fun app

This app is truly a remarkable achievement. I was skeptical about the new gaming system as I have deep-seated nostalgia for the original Fighting Fantasy mechanics. However, after playing through the adventure twice, I must say that I prefer this model due to its reliance on strategy and choice as opposed to random dice rolls. The combat system alone is a stellar achievement. The interactive map truly brings the game world to life. Also, the writers have given a few of the encounters some original and satisfying tweaks that freshen the experience for those already familiar with the source material. Bravo! As for the complaints about the price and brevity of the adventure, I would dismiss those outright. Clearly, this effort has been a labor of love, and the developers deserve to be handsomely rewarded for their skillful execution. Five dollars is cheaper than the one shot experience of going to a movie theater, and this product offers a deeply immersive gaming environment with satisfactory replay value. Five dollars is also cheaper than the original gamebook on which this app is based. And, though The Shamutanti Hills may be explored and conquered in two hours time, gamers must bear in mind that it is only the first stage of a four part quest. If the total cost of the entire epic series comes to roughly twenty dollars, then I would happily call that a steal.

This innovative book/game is brilliantly and masterfully crafted, and is one of the best iPad experiences I've had. The story and characters you will encounter are intriguing and unpredictable, and the choices you make are seamlessly woven together to create a unique experience every time you play. The game is punishing, yet not cruel, and redemption is always possible with clever thinking. The magic spell-book concept adds to the charming old school D&D feel, and the strategic turn-based combat system is innovative, enjoyable, and beautifully animated. This game is very well polished, and the art, interface, sound effects, and music are all top-notch. For those that feel the game is short, you should seriously consider a second or third playthrough. Unless you are redoing all of your choices (which is a nice option to have on occasion - you can easily redo any decision using the interactive map), on one playthrough you won't even experience a tenth of what the game has to offer. The choices you make interweave with one another in a myriad of ways, and there are many interesting potential effects and outcomes of those decisions. After two playthroughs each, my friend and I have still had very different journeys with each adventure. (Note: as per the developer's website, there is no risk of deleting a previous save when starting a new game). I would recommend this game to anyone who thinks they might enjoy an interactive adventure story that allows you to control the storyline and character choices, but I would particularly recommend it if you (as I do) fondly remember and enjoyed the "Choose Your Own Adventure" style of books as a child; It is a brilliantly crafted adaptation of the genre. Kudos to the development team for such a solidly executed and original piece of work. I cannot wait to play the next three installments.

Sorcery, is with out a doubt, the most engrossing and entertaining interactive fiction I've ever experienced. The game transcends the genre by introducing engaging game mechanics that smooth the edges of what could otherwise be a very linear experience. As the name implies, spell casting is an integral part of the experience and the game cleverly utilizes a spell casting mechanic that dynamically provides additional solutions to the various challenges encountered. Melee is equally brilliant, in that it is both minimal, yet tactically engaging. It plays a bit like a silent auction. Through careful observation, you attempt to assess how much stamina your opponent will spend to attack you and wager just enough of your own to exceed their "bid", but never so much that you are tapped out. The result is a clever combat mechanic that takes a bit more skill than luck. Also notable, is the presentation of the overland map; presented as a traditional hand painted adventure map, the features pleasingly parallax as you scroll around, indicating elevation relief. As paths are noted in the text, destinations appear on the map, which you can select by dragging you game piece toward. This part of the game made my inner boardgame-geek smile, While the price may seem high for some, if you have any interest in the genre or enjoyed any of the Tinman games, or simply on the fence because of the price, then don't hesitate, it's worth double what they are selling it for.

I had never played this type of game before and I went out on a limb trying it out by buying the first game. After finishing the first Immediately bought the rest ( when you buy the rest of the games it still gives you the bundle discount, very nice ). You will start out figuring out how the fighting works, very nice simple mechanics, nothing fancy. The true essence of this game is making decisions and dealing with them, sometimes for the better and annoyingly for the worst. For most of the game you can go back if you want to see how the outcome would have turned out doing something completely different, but you quickly notice that sometimes by just having a particular item at a particular time of day can change something completely. So many choices that it would be very difficult to go back and play the game exactly the same. Two people playing would have two completely different outcomes and endings. Long story short this game was awesome, epic, sometimes super funny, and at times very difficult making me really strain and think about what I had to do next, constantly managing the risks. Super good job inkle. I want more!

One of the best game I’ve ever played on IOS!

"Optional"

I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH

I've never played a game with more player choice than this one. If you like reading, you'll like this game. If you like fantasy, you'll like this game. If you like open world games, you'll like this game. The list goes on forever, and chances are, you'll like this game. It'll take you on an unforgettable adventure and I highly recommend it to anyone. If you're looking for nearly endless entertainment with a very reasonable price, then this is where it's at.

The game is awesome but it's a bit sort

I'll admit that the first game feels pretty short if you only play through once. But it's part of a larger story, and every decision influences the next. I'm a little ways into Sorcery 3 and still feeling the consequences of decisions I made in the first game. It's absolutely brilliant and I can't wait for the fourth entry!

Not too short for the price. Compared to a cup of coffee these days. Great story, sound and art. Replay value also there. Do yourself a favour and purchase the bundle. Will play all four games.

Expensive but so worth it and #2 is even better! Plz make more "chose your own adventure" book/apps!!:)

Is good

Hi jerma

I am pleased how this digital version is a good enhancement of old classic gamebook adventure. for all those saying 5$ is too much, well i find it a good amount for 2-3hours first playthrough and enough decision to try it a second and third time. Also i remember those book used to be around 10$ in paper version so the 5$ digital is quite decent for something more than straight port of original content

Like some of the other reviewers I thought "That was too short for $5". However, this game has a lot of replay value if you want to see what adventure lies down other paths. Also, when I finished Sorcery! 2 I thought "That was really long for $5", so it balances out. You can tell this game was a lot of hard work and they really cared about it. In the future, I will instantly buy anything from this developer the moment it launches. I am very much looking forward to Sorcery! 3 & 4.

An excellent version or the epic gamebook. Lives up to all of my expectations. Beautiful.

This is an excellent adaptation of the Sorcery series of game books and a very enjoyable presentation for game books in general. Inkle have improved on the books a numerous ways. The music and ambient sound effects really bring the text alive, and the new "blind bid" combat system makes me feel like I have a little more control over the outcome than a pair of dice give me. My favourite improvement is the luxurious world map: it's really helpful, not just in showing you the areas you haven't explored (so you can better plan your next play through) but also helping you get a sense of the world you're in and the progress you've attained. The game encourages multiple play throughs, and sets up the much larger Sorcery 2. I encourage you to get them both. They're really well written and make you feel like you're actually playing w/ a dungeon master, unlike what we typically label as an RPG these days.

This game is worth the $5 and here is why. It is unique, has an interesting battle strategy, the different paths that can be taken are limitless which adds to the replay value. This game directly connects to the Sorcery 2! Game allowing for more possibilities, and overall a longer journey. Simply put, this is one of the best games on the market when played with the second continuation giving one of the best replay values this market has to offer.

I took a chance on this game. I was looking for a new adventure/strategy game and boy did I find it! Reminiscent of DnD, it puts the fate of the story in your hands allowing for many, many different outcomes which shows the amount of creativity and thought that went into this series. Stop wasting time and buy it already.

If you liked the originals you will love this, great adaption with a new combat system which makes them fun to play again. Quite short but the books get longer, probably should have made this first one a bit cheaper to get ppl into the series.

This game is the best choose your own adventure type of game I've ever played! Thumbs up

Inkle make a great game engine that made this into a hybrid of a book and a adventure game, the game overall is visually pleasing and the engine they made could mean giving a new outlet for great possibilities

This is one of the best games on my phone!! Well worth the time and money to play this game!! I can't wait to play the second one!!

Sorcery does a great service to choose your own text adventures and is easily the best of it's kind. The combat is brilliantly simple and reading paragraphs based on your combat choices is extremely satisfying. I'm off to buy the second!

Very enjoyable game!

This game is heavily addicting and has a lot of replay value very very fun!

Finished it twice and I am sure I will play it again!

Yogscast played this on stream and that's what made me but this :D

This game brought back some nostalgia. Really fun! IOS is a great platform form this kind of entertainment, much better than the old book versions. Great job Inkle!

Old classic fighting fantasy book with a unique sense of modern tech just to make the fun more real!!! Do not hesitate. I don't see how you could be disappointed by this great Adventure! Go for the quadralogy...

Loved these games as books, now it's taken to a whole new level. I've played through both app games several times and found new stuff every time. Can't wait for the next instalment.

Great game

There are many moments in this game that bring me back to childhood, with a pencil and dice on the table, working my way through the books.

The graphics are gorgeous! The story is engaging! I can't wait for the next chapters! With so many items to find and friends to make in this one, it will be exciting to see how they effect future chapters!!!!!!

I think this is my first time reviewing. I normally dont do this because I see it as a waste of my time. But this needs recognition. It is soooo good! Try it and see, so much replayability, and with the next in the series you have so many options for carrying over other saves. Its kind of like mass effect how it carries through all games if you want it too. Love the amount of choices. Its a classic book brought back to life! Love it!

If you read everyone's comments you will see a lot of people say this is to short. Well if you know the 4 books of the series like I do you know that Shamutanti Hills is by far the thinnest and shortest. Khare by contrast was twice as thick. So yeah, the first release is a bit short. The app stays true to the original books source material. However the Skill and Luck aspects are not here. So is the "dice factor" determining your fate. If you want that then download the Tinman versions of Fighting Fantasy but I will tell you the Sorcery adaptation is better looking and more fun. The battle system can be confusing, it's very strategy based and it's easy to get killed by stronger opponents. Overall I can't wait for Khare but I pray that Inkle releases versions outside of just the Sorcery series.

This is a gorgeous adaptation of the game book. The simple adaptation of the mechanics for magic and fighting is fun. I can't wait to see the rest of the series. There's no game I'm more looking forward to.

Wow! can't wait to play a second, third, and FOURTH time! Hope number 2 is out soon!

This game is basically a fantasy version of a choose your own adventure book. The story is interesting and there is are simple but engaging battle and spell casting systems. The artwork is also amazing, as it includes much of the original artwork as well as a nice new world map. Cons are that the game has limited replayability, since at points where you have to choose between options there is usually only two choices; and the fact that the game stops at a point that does not resolve any of the main storyline, making it so you have to buy the next chapter(s) to be able to experience anything more than a very thin introduction to your character's quest. All in all I would recommend this game to fantasy fans who are interested in a more traditional RPG experience.

It's a really fun game but I've experienced a few annoying crashes. Also it would be great if you could add expansions to make the game longer and add more things.

It’s short. I even went back a lot in my play through to stretch it out longer and it was short. I’m guessing the replay ability factor gets much better after you buy all 4 parts but I feel $10 for all 4 parts would be a lot more reasonable. Apart from that it is a good game it’s just doing all this pen and paper style would take a long time but here the short experience over all cheapens the story as a whole.

I had high hopes for this game. I loved Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid, and expected a fun nostalgia trip. This game did not that meet those expectations. The story is weak: I finished the game in about 40 minutes and have no idea what the point was...to get a crown? I feel like they took one game and cut it into 4 parts to make extra money. Truthfully, I regret spending the cash on this game and feel quite cheated.

The game took less than an hour. I would have expected more for a $5 game. Could be worth it on sale for $1 maybe. I was super surprised when it ended. Felt more like an intro than a full story.

This was not worth 5 bucks. What little was there was fun, but there was only an hour or so of game play! When you buy this game, you’re offered a link to buy all the other Sorcery games that are out... but they’re all the same game, just another teeny map! Long story short, when you play you’re sent on an epic quest, and you don’t even make it out of sight of your starting point! This was a waste of money. Also, for such a limited game, it eats up a lot of battery time.

Finished first part in about 30 min of playtime. Then your supposed to pay again for part 2. Absolute and total rip off for 5$. Will never buy any more if these games or another Inkle product Avoid

Don’t spend the dough. Interesting, attractive, but far too short for the money. I realize that developing this game likely took considerable time and effort, but I expect more for my money.

Just get it from the library for free. Smh

Fun game with potential but very disappointed after finishing part 1 in a few hours after paying $5 for what I thought was a full game. Feel ripped off......

No thought to strategy. Just a series of random choices and character deaths. Game lasts 2 hours at best then they want another 5 bucks.

Cant even use your own name. You have to use the letters in the order they decide.

I liked the storyline, spells, and fighting, however, it was really short.

I just paid $16 for the entire series and can't bring myself to finish the first one. The story is so boring. There is no meat to its bones. Deeply regret the purchase.

Very disappointed! Game play lasts only about an hour. Very few game play choices.

Way too limited in scope for the money. Few options. Short play time. Disappointing.

Great game. Needs to be optimized for iPhone X, Xs, etc

Way too much reading

I love the story telling. And I love the amount of options. However, after having the story abruptly end, I felt a bit cheated. Only because I felt that the story was too short to be getting you to buy the second half already. And this app was $4.99 when I bought it. Let's face it, $5 is a lot for an app these days. I understand that the developers need to make a profit, but quite honestly, it felt as though they where trying to pull one over on me. I spent $5 on a short story that abruptly ends, and the second half isn't even an in app download. It's a completely different app. Honestly, I don't plan on buying the second one. It just felt to me like corners where cut and the developers where hoping we wouldn't notice because of the games replay value (which I will talk about in a bit.) The app itself is great so long as you don't mind the shortness of it. You are presented with many options. Some of which are cookie cutter random events, and some are more thought out and have a more meaningful outcome. The beginning of the story didn't really swallow me up, which is ok for me, as long as the gameplay can keep me interested. Overall it was a lot of fun buy slightly disappointing. If both apps where priced at 2.99, I would definitely get both. I might recommend this to people who enjoy role playing.

I remember loving these books. This app fails to recapture the magic of the original. It’s not necessarily a bad app design, but they’ve cut down on the story and the action so much that you get through the adventure in less than an hour. Not worth the money.

Game is at least a 4 but I can’t rate it that high until it’s updated for iPhone X. It’s an old game though so they’ve probably made their money at this point and we won’t see an update :/ still worth buying. Especially if you have a more traditional display on your phone.

Extremely short for a 5 dollar game I feel ripped off I played for 30 mins, beat the game and it said buy sorcery 2 for another 5 dollars!!! Wow what a rip off

A big fan of the books. I've been slowly building up my collection again, the 80's early 90's covers. So I was very happy to hear that it was coming out in App format. It seems very well done, everything from the music to the interactive map and the spellcasting. However, I'm EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED that Inkle has done away with rolling dice to determine your Stamina values and seems to have done away with the Skill and Luck stats altogether. The combat is also very disapointing. Far to cartoonish and not in a good way. Taking damage at every encounter. It REALLY REALLY needs to become a dice powered and driven vehicle again. In short, the combat system, lack of Skill and Luck attributes absolutely kills this App. Bring those back so that it feels like you have the book in your hands and you'd have a winner.

I've only just started playing this on my iPad Mini 2, but I'm having a problem. When I'm trying to fight the slider won't register so I'm constantly stuck in defence position. Sometimes it'll glitch and jump about so I'm either attacking with a lot of strength or very little - I'm never in control. I'm giving it three stars right now because so far the game looks beautiful and I'm excited to progress, I'm just unable to. I hope you'll be able to fix this!

The game was only about an hour long, which for $5+ is crazy! I would recommend their other game, 80 Days, instead. Much more content for the same price!

Nothing about this game feels very satisfying; the combat outcomes feel random, you simply rewind every step you did wrong and worst of all, you have to get out of the story, into the spellbook ui to swipe one spell at a time through your 30 pages spellbook to remember what spells you can cast. And then, you finish what you would think would be the starting area for a 5$ game; only to realize that's it. It's done. All in all, the game could be so much more. Corners were cut all around and prices jacked up. I spent the time writing this review as a protest to such prices / content ratio.

Fun premise- love the narrative style and art. But the game was over in under an hour and I was out 5 bucks. Rewinds cheapened the weight of my decisions and combat was easily exploited. Cast a force field, attack and then defend. Rinse and repeat. Won't bother with #2. For 5 dollars they should have included the lot.

Good game, but for $5 it's way too short. I feel ripped off... This game is just not worth the money. $2-3 would be a more fair price.

Way to short especially for 5 bucks.

Good game but way too short

A great game filled with adventure, action, and life deciding choices. This game made me feel like my choices made an impact on how the story played out, if you were kind and patent your adventure would be much different if you were rude and cold hearted. One of the key features was the fighting enemies mechanic, having to predict how they would attack and decide how you would attack. Though once I completed the game I was not pleased with the ending of, you have done well and collected these items, buy our next game to pick off where you left of using this code. Real disappointment, overall a fun game with lot of replay ability.
