The story will pull you in and then it's hard to put down. Highly recommended. ### 1/5 — Liar dice *2022-09-17, version 1.3.3* I can’t stand this game. I’m stuck with the old man in prison. Why is the old man so good at this. He doesn’t guess wrong. Also the text color is almost the same as the paper color. So I can’t even read wth the game is trying to tell me Weird mini game i hate it Why can’t I cast dum on the old man in prison? And just beat him a few times and move on? ### 5/5 — Exceptional! *2021-09-04, version 1.3.3* Amazing series, beautifully reimagined and so incredibly engaging!

IPhone 6s, iOS 14.6 ### 5/5 — Сумулятор игры в кости *2021-01-25* Потратил на игры в кости со стариками и бомжами больше времени, чем на саму игру. ### 3/5 — :( *2020-08-03, version 1.3.3* Can’t call out in swindle stones :/ ### 5/5 — My Top Favorite Game *2019-12-12, version 1.3.3* I am a magick fan and strategy lover. Not to mention when you give me a game that is good and well made. It will be an instant legend and always be played. 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!!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Sorcery! 2 ### What is Sorcery! 2?
