Sorcery! App Reviews

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.

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.

Good game but way too short

Way to short especially for 5 bucks.

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 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.

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: its really helpful, not just in showing you the areas you havent explored (so you can better plan your next play through) but also helping you get a sense of the world youre in and the progress youve attained. The game encourages multiple play throughs, and sets up the much larger Sorcery 2. I encourage you to get them both. Theyre really well written and make you feel like youre actually playing w/ a dungeon master, unlike what we typically label as an RPG these days.

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

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

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

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

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.

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. Wont bother with #2. For 5 dollars they should have included the lot.

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 thats it. Its 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.

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!

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

400 yen for 1 hour and a half playing/reading time? Disappointing. Character is shallow too, I didnt care about him.

I cant wait for the next ver.

Impressive and fun

In my opinion it is the greatest adventure and app. I played the trilogy and I just wanted to thank you for taking me to this adventure. I wish for greater games.
