Lots of choices and I will read it again But there is no ending and to the author keep up with whatever your doing because it’s working 👍 ### 1/5 — Horrible Ending *2018-08-26, version 1.0.2* This game/story is horrible and the worst I have played. I love these types of games. One of the reasons is you can never fail them, because it is about the story and the consequences of your actions. So even if your character dies I don’t consider it a fail. This game changed all of that. If you don’t make the right choices then the game will abruptly end, with a message from the author saying you did not make the right choices to continue the story. I have never seen this before in a choose your own adventure game. My issue is not that the game ended early, that would be fine if the ending was a story-based ending and not a message from the author about how I messed up and how proud of their own work they are. I wanted a story ending, even a bad one is better than a 4th wall breaking “game try again from the beginning.” This is like the Mass Effect trilogy, fun to play but man is that ending terrible. ### 1/5 — Magikiras *2018-04-09, version 1.0.0* I have played many games of this type and I have to say this game is terrible. First the grammar issues which are funny in the beginning but get annoying really quick when you have to reread a paragraph to understand what they are saying. Second and by far worse getting to a point in the game that FORCES you to start over from the beginning if you didn’t do things a certain way a great way to waste hours of my time. Third how often you have to rely on magic to get through encounters as your stats are so low you fall that pretty much everything. There are many better games like this out there save your money. ### 4/5 — A few bugs *2018-03-16, version 1.0.0* Absolutely brilliant so far! Well written story and a variety of options! My only problem is occasionally I come across something like "page_break" or an m at the end of a word. ### 3/5 — Room for improvement *2018-02-13, version 1.0.0* I love the story around the game as well as most other choice games, but there are grievances I have. One problem I have is that I would like to see an option to restart from the beginning of a chapter instead of having to restart the entire game after messing up a choice I didn’t enjoy. The second issue is that when I try and type the locations into the fill in the blank slot it won’t work even though I’m absolutely positive I’m using the right locations. If these were added/fixed then this would be 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Thank you ^, ,^ *2017-09-29, version 1.0.0* I love this game, I enjoyed it a hell of a lot and man being a magic user makes it so much harder Hahahah. I would so love to have a sequel to this game. While I enjoyed every moment the ending was a bit boring to be honest. But still 5/5 for this game ---spoiler alert--- I really would like a squeal and to see more of Morgan. I chose to romance her and I really want to see more of her. Like can we get her back? Will we finally put her out of her misery? Mainly I want to see more of her showing her affectionate side from time to time until finally a cute, sweet, tear jerker death or to have her back on our side as herself again. Thank you so much for this story. ### 3/5 — Childish *2017-01-03, version 1.0.0* Overall the writing isn't too great, of course I appreciate the effort and time put into this seeing as long as it is, I just can't keep reading with the characters who act like kids. Seriously no adult would act the way they do, especially not in the military. I've grown up around military people and this reading feels immature. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2016-12-16, version 1.0.0* Awesome game loved every minute of it. Defo value for money and nice and long too. Great story line had me gripped all way through 👍🏻👌🏻😁 ### 5/5 — Magikiras *2016-12-06, version 1.0.0* Best game I've ever played! ### 1/5 — Peeved *2016-10-31, version 1.0.0* Will not let me buy full game, I can buy any of the other choice of games, but this one won't let me buy. I love all of the games I've played pretty much all of them, started when choice of Dragon first came out. I think this one would be the best but I can't tell since it won't let me purchase it. ## Frequently asked questions about Magikiras ### What is Magikiras about?
