Leave a Review Pendragon Rising
Excellent game
This game was excellent, though I would love it if the writer of this game would create a game starring Merlin, or a female counterpart.Titus Pendragon
Could not have read a better book
Love this.
As a lover of fantasy and knight books this one excelled. It involves you into the story well and ropes you in for another hour of reading. All in all

Wish there was a sequel
This was an amazing game I absolutely loved it and I really wish there was a sequel but it didn’t even let me save a file so the chances are sadly lowmeldiav
My name isn’t ‘Art’. Try 3 more letters.
Ok so far, but I do wish people would stop calling me ‘Art’. It’s a name which never appears in the original stories for very good reasons.
In ancient Britain it’s a seperate name (celtic, meaning ‘bear’) from Arthur, and using it as a shortening of the name ‘Arthur’ is a modern American invention. No British person named Arthur has EVER been called ‘Art’.
It drags me out of the fantasy they’re trying to create to have people referring to Arthur in such a completely inappropriate way. It’s annoying me so much I’m finding it difficult to enjoy the story, which is pretty average fare so far anyway.
In the pipeline: this company makes a text adventure about the Second Coming of Jez.
See how irritating that is?Show lessAron le Baron

Honestly I didn’t love this game. The writing is over done and when read playing the female side seems forced and impractical. Relationships feel disconnected and character choice is limited.mars2.5
Gritty, muddy and lacking a sense of fantasy or fun
When you play something called pendragon you usually want to play something with knights in gleaming armor and high castles.
This game will give you the dawn of Britain with barbarian clans fighting over piles of sticks and mud. And had awful to try and remember names.
They try to make it somewhat period accurate, so everyone you meet is steeped in backwards tradition (like thinking winning a tournament makes you fit to lead an army and that your priests actually have magic powers ((they don’t)) ) which is incredibly frustrating to navigate around, basically being forced to constantly make choices that would appease a bunch of unwashed idiots or loose your head.
I also don’t like the gendered system where either women or warriors or men are warriors. Why? If your trying to make it time period accurate and enforce gender roles, just make it men because at that point offering the choice is undermining your goal anyway. If your going to undermine your goal anyway, toss the sexism out the window and get rid of the gender roles.Show lessKanaTheOne
Romance
The Morgan romance ruined everything for me.mikemikemikemikemike4
Totally Immersed!
This was the first time I played one of these games. I was totally immersed in it and was unable to stop playing from start to finish. I really enjoyed myself, and I can’t wait to play again to see what happens making different choices. I loved the feeling of being in the time of King Arthur’s Britain after the Romans left. I loved being able to play as a woman warrior in a strong women warrior culture. I felt strongly pulled by the various choices presented to me, more and more as the story progressed.
I would highly recommend this game!Show lessfaelynne
Simply amazing!

Game of Thrones!?
As a long standing fan of not only the 'Choice of Games' series, but also the very authors who's stories these are, I can say wholeheartedly that Pendragon Rising is as good as Game of Thrones. Though not as long, the heartfelt battles, politics, and most importantly - relationships, are mechanisms used perfectly to win over any audience.
I highly recommend all of the choice of games stories, Pendragon Rising among them.Show less1234greenskins
