Sorcery! Reviews

by Walternmoss

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.

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.

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

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.

I've been incredibly impressed with the quality of the this app! 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 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!

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 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

this app 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.

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.

by Henry Mont

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.

by Skyskape

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!!

by Ericcolons

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

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 this app 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.

by Ravi N S

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!

by Ghnufyjrjif

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

by Catastrofik

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.

by Daddiolaw

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.

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.

by Popball

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 Sorcery 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.

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.
