Nice graphics and story, but its over far too quickly and you have to shell out another £5 to get the next part. Its somewhat disappointing for an otherwise okay game. ### 2/5 — Болото *2022-06-15* Игра интересная, но за столько лет уже как она на рынке могли бы и перевести на русский. Это ребятки не уважение к пользователям 🤥🤥🤥 ### 4/5 — Waiting for updates! *2022-06-08* Can you please update to full screen and add german language? That would be amazing!!! ### 2/5 — Really short *2022-02-23, version 1.6.2* The game took less than an hour. I would have expected more for a $5 game. Could be worth it on sale for $1 maybe. I was super surprised when it ended. Felt more like an intro than a full story. ### 3/5 — Good game buy way overpriced *2020-07-02, version 1.6.2* 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. ### 4/5 — Please a French version ! *2020-05-07* Please a French version ! 🙏🏻 ### 2/5 — Too short for the $$$ *2019-08-06, version 1.6.1* Don’t spend the dough. Interesting, attractive, but far too short for the money. I realize that developing this game likely took considerable time and effort, but I expect more for my money. ### 5/5 — Great but needs an update *2019-07-14, version 1.6.1* I’ve owned and played all the games in the Sorcery series and loved them but I am disappointed that none of them have been optimized for the iPhone X screen. ### 5/5 — Sorcery *2019-06-23, version 1.6.1* 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 ### 5/5 — Very fun and innovative RPG *2019-05-26, version 1.6.1* 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! ### 5/5 — Criminally underplayed *2019-05-17, version 1.6.1* Best game of its type. ### 4/5 — Perfect but *2019-05-17* Could you please set an iPhone X match updates ### 3/5 — Too short for the price *2019-04-07, version 1.6.1* Good game up until it abruptly finishes. It’s a shame, but I would have liked to continue the story. However, if the other chapters are as brief as the first one, it really is not worth paying the money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dumb naming process *2022-10-12, version 1.6.2* Cant even use your own name. You have to use the letters in the order they decide. ### 1/5 — Ha? *2020-09-26, version 1.6.2* Sorry was that it? Maybe an hour and a half long before your are informed you need to shell out another £4.99 to carry on playing chapter 2. Chapter 1 wasn’t worth £4.99 so no thank you very much. No challenge, no replayability. Very very poor ### 1/5 — Une version française s’il vous plait... *2020-04-18* Une magnifique occasion de se replonger dans l’une des aventures les plus denses, riches et immersives des « livres dont vous êtes le héros » qui nous ont initiés au fantastique....hélas, il faut être très à l’aise en anglais pour profiter de cette adaptation sur iOS. S’il vous plaît, une version en français ! ### 1/5 — Liebevoll und originell umgesetzt, aber... *2020-04-06* ...für gut €5,- und einer Spielzeit von einer guten Stunde eine ziemliche Abzocke, wie ich finde! Schade. ### 1/5 — Complete rip off *2020-04-05, version 1.6.2* Finished first part in about 30 min of playtime. Then your supposed to pay again for part 2. Absolute and total rip off for 5$. Will never buy any more if these games or another Inkle product Avoid ### 1/5 — FRENCH version *2019-10-31* I wait for a very fast FRENCH version to buy The following episodes. I don't speak english A FRENCH VERSION PLEASE A FRENCH VERSION PLEASE A FRENCH VERSION PLEASE A FRENCH VERSION PLEASE ### 1/5 — Fun game but really short for $5 *2019-04-06, version 1.6.1* Fun game with potential but very disappointed after finishing part 1 in a few hours after paying $5 for what I thought was a full game. Feel ripped off...... ### 1/5 — Japanese！ *2018-10-28* Please Japanese! ### 1/5 — やっぱり *2018-03-24* 日本語版が欲しい ### 1/5 — Not a complete game *2018-02-17, version 1.6.1* This was not worth 5 bucks. What little was there was fun, but there was only an hour or so of game play! When you buy this game, you’re offered a link to buy all the other Sorcery games that are out... but they’re all the same game, just another teeny map! Long story short, when you play you’re sent on an epic quest, and you don’t even make it out of sight of your starting point! This was a waste of money. Also, for such a limited game, it eats up a lot of battery time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME *2024-07-09, version 1.6.2* I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH ### 5/5 — Truly a game, not a book *2022-12-12, version 1.6.2* 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. ### 5/5 — A masterpiece *2022-01-07, version 1.6.2* 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 ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2021-09-04, version 1.6.2* This whole series is beautifully done and magical to delve into! ### 5/5 — Such a revelation *2021-07-20, version 1.6.2* 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. ### 5/5 — An extraordinary experience I’m for ever grateful for having. *2021-07-02, version 1.6.2* Feeling relaxed and being in a pleasant state of mind can go such a long way. I get high and play this game and thus I am able to feel a way that no one has ever felt before while playing this game. One of the best times of my life was while playing this game and I’m so lucky to have had that experience . I know how lucky I am. Most people go their entire life’s without feeling what I felt, without doing what I was doing. This game also made me sharper and more durable it taught me many morals of many different stories. Thank you Steve Jackson , You will never know how incredible I felt whilst playing this and it was not just because of the pills it was because your game was very pleasant to play. ### 5/5 — 日本語お願いします *2021-06-20* 宣伝しますので… 星1つけてローカライズ希望してるお馬鹿さんはなんなんだ？？ ### 5/5 — 原作を読んだ人は是非プレイしてみては *2021-05-26* 魔法や戦闘の演出が素敵です。オリジナルに忠実に作られている分、ボリュームは少なめですが、十分楽しめます。原作を読んだことがある人は懐かしくプレイできると思います。 ### 5/5 — Really fun game. *2020-06-08, version 1.6.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Love this Game!!!! *2019-12-12, version 1.6.2* 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.
