Eines der besten Adventures ever für IOS

Vielen Dank für die perfekte Umsetzung und die Portierung dieses fantastischen Adventure für IOS. Eines der all time favorites.

Another classic revisited!

The storylines had to make up for the limited technology. Now the best of both.

Fun for Fans and Newbies!

This is a fine, well adjusted and thoughtful refinement of a classic text adventure. I really enjoyed it a lot. I think it’s perfect for fans and a good start for newbies of this long forgotten genre.

Thank you so much and please do „The Pawn“ next!

No VoiceOver Support

Very unfortunately, but perhaps unsurprisingly, these Magnetic Scrolls games have no support for the iOS built-in screen reader, VoiceOver. The games are thus unplayable by blind players. Given that the primary interface remains essentially textual, the original games have been playable in Magnetic on Windows or glkmagnetic in macOS. Please either make the remakes fully playable or else allow the game files to be exported for use by the other interpreter programs.

A superb game and excellent remastering.

A big thank you to the team at Strand Games for bringing back the wonderful Magnetic Scrolls games, and remastering them so they are now a joy to play on IPads/mobile phones etc. I am an original fan of Magnetic Scrolls, and to this day 'The Guild of Thieves' is still my favourite computer game. I am now enjoying playing it again, as well as the remastered 'The Pawn'. I really like the logical puzzles of these games, the excellent writing - which created a wonderfully atmospheric world, humour, and of course the graphics. I've just started playing the remastered version but I can already tell it has added a lot of benefit to the game with auto mapping and all the extra options. Even the start up screen is remastered with music, which if I remember correctly it didn't have before? Really good music too that fits the game perfectly.

I recommend everyone who likes a good story, and puzzles that are logical but really make you think, to buy this game and any other Magnetic Scrolls game. They are good value for money as they contain a lot of gameplay. Really looking forward Strand Games' further Magnetic Scrolls releases, I believe the next one is 'Jinxter'.
