## What is The Hero of Kendrickstone?

Can a wanna-be hero like you rescue the city of Kendrickstone, held hostage by an evil wizard and his troop of black-clad soldiers? Face down fierce foes with spell, sword, or silver tongue. Outwit cunning rivals, cement your fledgling reputation, and maybe, just maybe, make enough money to pay your rent!

“The Hero of Kendrickstone” is an epic 240,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Paul Wang, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Will you seek a mentor to help hone your skills, or strike out on your own? Will you prove to be a paragon of compassion, or a callous mercenary? Will you die forgotten and un-mourned, or will you become the Hero of Kendrickstone?

### 3/5 — Good, but...

*2018-04-26*

Okay so it’s a good game, Choice of LLC always makes good games, but it seems rather short for the price. Don’t get me wrong it’s good, but if you’re looking for a medieval text adventure game, I’d recommend Choice of the Wizard or The Last Monster Master. And okay it’s more of a super villain theme, but I highly recommend Diabolical!

### 5/5 — Next Part!?!?

*2018-02-12*

This isn’t really a review I just need to know when the next part is coming out

### 3/5 — Short and a bit too "progressive" for want of a better word but still good.

*2017-10-03*

It's pretty good. I like the fact that you can become a jack-of-all-trades type successfully (I've done it, it was nowhere near as easy as going full power, full will, full subterfuge or full eloquence, though).

One thing that, well, "bothers" might be putting too strong an emphasis on it but, for a mostly medieval society, the women of the land are pretty well respected though it's fantasy and probably for the best, anyway for the enjoyment of the players.

Furthermore, this is probably the first game I've encountered that let's you pick a "non-binary" gender and have you able to write your own pronouns in (I had some fun with that in one playthrough). Maybe it's just because I'm not used to it but I found it a bit odd.

There are a few quality of life upgrades they could have, being able to buy more than 1 item in the market if you have the money for it springs to mind.

With all that being said, though. It's pretty fun and will probably give you a handful of hours of enjoyment.

### 5/5 — Majestic, Awe-inspiring, mind-blowing story!

*2017-05-13*

This is what you are looking if you want to feel like you want to experience the adventure of a badass hero rising from nothing. It is wonderful. I have no other description but that.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2017-05-08*

I suppose it depends on the reason you are playing, but for me I was pretty underwhelmed and couldn't finish it. There's barely any character relationships (whether romantic or platonic), and very little time invested in fleshing out side characters. Also, as an adventure game, I was expecting maybe a group of friends you collect along the way (warrior, rogue, mage, etc), but I got pretty far in to it and was still alone for all of it. Because I didn't finish it, it's possible this changes later on, but I felt I played far past long enough to get the flow of how the game was going. I did like the world-building and the gender diversity of passing characters, though.

### 5/5 — Very Nice!!!!

*2017-03-22*

Another game where you are not forced into interactions with lgbt characters. A step up from what choice of usually does. Any game that doesn't force you to be around characters you wouldn't hang around in real life is okay in my book. I just want a sequel.

### 5/5 — Great Fantasy

*2017-03-11*

I am a fan of the choice of games stories. I really enjoyed this fantasy game/story. It really felt like they gave me meaning full choices and I was not forced too choose one; just because it would make writing the story easier. I was truly immersed into this world.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2016-12-27, version 1.0.5*

Too short for 5 dollars.

### 5/5 — One of my favorites

*2016-12-02, version 1.0.5*

Bard path best path. 
WANT SEQUEL NOW.

### 4/5 — A Good Addition to your Choice of library.

*2016-11-18, version 1.0.5*

Well written, engaging, and highly customizable/replay able. 1 star removed for protagonists awkward transition to importance at the end. Easily recommendable, however.
