It is long, rich and detailed, worth it if you're okay with the Wild West theme. You're a Marshal. There's bribery, gunplay, the wilderness. You meet Native Americans, bandits, and Wild West law enforcements. It's fun! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2017-07-09* Like so many, I was nervous spending so much money on one app. Luckily, I ended up loving it! The story length is well worth the price paid as well as the characters. It does take a little while to figure out that there is a plot to the story, and its dealt with rather quickly in the climax. At the same time there is SO MUCH replay value to this story. And I mean, SOO MUCH. It is clear a great deal of hard work went into this story and definitely deserves more love then it has. ### 5/5 — Best in Class *2017-06-21* I believe this is the best CoG interactive fiction game yet. The cast of characters is large, interesting, and memorable. The setting is strong and changes over time in interesting ways. The narrative is fantastic and the scenarios blend solid creative writing with solid game design to create an epic adventure that the reader gets to make interesting decisions within and see how the consequences unfold. This is the best piece of interactive fiction on iOS and you need to play it. ### 5/5 — Hoo Mah Gawd I love it *2017-03-14* It is worth every penny if you want a great story. I finished it in two days, but it's because I was essentially cramming it like a good book. If you love westerns you will want to make love to this, if you like them, definitely dinner and a movie and possibly a long relationship, and if you don't like them, this is a great chapter book that you control for a decent price, and best of all: You can read it again for a different story! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2017-02-27* Definitely one of the best Choose your own adventure games I've played. Every choice feels impactful. The story is told incredibly, and it becomes very immersive. It felt like a good book that you could just put yourself into and live that character's life. ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-02-04, version 1.1.2* It's a great game that is well worth the money 10/10 ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2016-12-16* I love it! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-09-20* Great writing, and the story is very detailed. There are a variety of ways to develop your character based on your choices. This is a long game. It will take a couple of hours to read, but it will be worth your time. ### 5/5 — 100,000,000 Stars! *2016-08-08, version 1.1.2* Amazing, absolutely amazing! I bought it months ago and I still play it! The choices are so impactful, no two player experiences are the same. The story is absolutely immersive, the first time I played it I was hooked for hours at a time. Really well written characters, even the minor ones. The characters are so unique and realistic that I can't bring myself to play the "evil" routes, I feel so guilty that I have to restart. BEST COG/HOSTED GAME, best app, best decision you will ever make in life, basically best everything! 11/10, I definitely recommend. 💕💕💕 ### 5/5 — The best *2016-06-12* It is simply one of the best and very much worth your money. ### 5/5 — Wew Lad *2016-06-07* My Pistol drawing, cutthroat, tin star story was a fun one to have, it's got almost all the choices you can think to make and even more. It's a thrilling Western Story that John Wayne would be proud of. ### 5/5 — Wow *2016-05-14* If you're looking for a story you can replay over and over this is it. Not only is it incredibly immersive but also very customizable. This is one of the top Hosted Games if not the best. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-03-15* Great story, worth every penny. Wish there were more stories like this one. ### 5/5 — Great text based adventure game *2015-11-19, version 1.1.0* This is one of my favorite games. The ability to build your character is so far advanced in this game compared to other text based games. This game has a ton of replay value. ### 5/5 — Please note: you are buying a book *2015-11-09, version 1.1.0* Please, please overlook the price. This game- this novel- has been a flourishing experience. I played it for hours at a time and at the third day of constant playing just finished. The story and writing is so rich, you feel there, you feel conviction for your actions and sympathy and morality. For whatever path you chose it accommodates in a way that never feels forced. I highly recommend this! One of my favorites. ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2015-08-06* By far the best hosted games story so far. This was a truly phenomenal story and a brilliant read. I could not recommend this more. I'm certainly looking forward and hoping for more great tales. ### 5/5 — There are No Words *2015-07-20* There are no words to even begin to describe the greatness of this story. I write reviews for very few games the vast majority of which are text based. Tin Star is quite possibly one if my favorite games of all time. Not even just apps but also console games. It is right up there with The a Last of Us, Legend of Zelda and Infamous. I find myself naturally attracted to story based games over mindless shooters (though I do enjoy Battlefield very now and again). Tin Star is by far the best app on my phone and on my phone it will stay. The game has great opportunity for replay ability though I think that I will never do that. I poured my all into this game and I'm pretty sure that playing the game through again would result in the same choices being made but hey that's just me. I was really happy with my ending had a lasting romance and managed to play through the game killing virtually no one. In the end it said my story had no variations and that it was told strong and true and I don't think I could ever try and change the find memories I have if the game. There is nobody I would ever hate so much as to not recommend this game to. Even if I never play it again it will always be there for nostalgia. This will be one of the best uses of your money ever... period. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-07-11, version 1.1.0* Well written and loads of choices, the perfect Choice Game. The story is worth the price. ### 5/5 — Great quality *2015-07-05, version 1.1.0* This game kept me intrigued the whole game! Strong writing and rewarding conclusions make this game great. ### 5/5 — Absoluty fantastic 'choice' game. *2015-06-07* Definitely recommended, one of the best I've yet played. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 4/5 — Worth the money *2014-03-20, version 1.0.2* As always, I thoroughly enjoyed playing through one of these choice games. My only complaint is length, but I suppose that can't really be helped. Definitely an experience meriting the payment ### 4/5 — Great game *2014-02-22, version 1.0.1* It was pretty long with lots of skills and options, it's very repayable I believe with a very different out come. The writing does get a little dry with descriptive text but other than that it's awesome ### 5/5 — Uncertain Until I Played *2024-09-20* This game I wasn’t sure if I wanted to download but I’m dang sure glad I did I’m very impressed and glad I got to be apart of the storyline thank you… ### 5/5 — One of the best games i’ve ever played *2022-07-06, version 1.1.4* Once played this game probably 7 or 8 years ago and had a blast. Incredibly engaging story. Randomly thought of this game again recently, and decided to redownload and it does not disappoint. Still as engaging and fun as I remembered, and I can’t stop playing it. Design of the app shows some age, but the writing and choices by far make up for anything slightly clunky feeling. I’m really happy to see people still downloading and playing this game, and hope you guys keep this on the app store forever. ### 5/5 — Super long and addictive *2021-08-18* I’m speechless. Wow. How come this doesn’t have thousands of reviews? All the characters are so detailed, there were so many paths… I wish there were more of such games. Splendid e-book and very little woke politics. Top score. ### 5/5 — DEVS READ FOR IDEA *2020-10-06* Ok so first off I don’t even know if you guys will ready this comment but here it goes. (And one more thing YOU GUYS ARE THE AMAZING!!! You are my most favorite story making company ever. Anyway I just wanted to say that). I. Am. A. Huge fan of ‘choice games.’ I love their work I have bought many, (and I mean MANY of their games), but, when I was searching for a new game, I stumbled over a comment that said “Try out Tin Star!” And so I looked it up. And oh. My. Gosh. This is THE most underrated game, story, book EVER!!! Like I can’t even begin to describe how AMAZING this game is. It is so cheap considering how much content is in this. Now I finely get to my point... Please. Make. This game... anew! So what I am thinking is that you make this game except it is lime a young guns, billy the kid style game. Where you run your own gang and you have to constantly outrun the law. Please please please I will pay as much as you want me to pay. You have stumbled upon a gold mine, (pun intended), if you guys like this idea then please; all I ask is that you comment on this comment and just say anything. Like “thank you for your feedback” and stuff like that. Anyway I really doubt you guys will read this but if you do... please consider this. Thank you for you time, and as always stay strong, stay safe. ### 5/5 — This Game is Great *2019-06-08* This game is a fun way to spend long car trips or just when your bored. There are so Many Choices That Each ending varies in vastly different ways. My only dislike of the game is that it is to Short and that at one point it seems like you should be able to continue and really want to but then the game ends. ### 5/5 — Amazing. Worth every cent *2018-12-05* Most people might be concerned with the fact that there is no word count, considering this is a Hosted Games or Choice of Games story, but I can tell you the story is very detailed, very long, and it is very well written to keep you engaged in the characters and the many choices you can make. Tin Star does a fantastic job at rewarding consistency that sticks with your attributes and also keeps historical consistency for context. Tin star provides plenty of times to level up skills and it’s truly amazing to find how such a simple beginning can turn into the greatest ending. That said, I’d recommend anyone to buy this game and give it a shot. Definitely up there among my top stories such as zombie exodus, and zombie exodus safe haven. Edit: Also has the option to save at every chapter, so you can always restore from your past chapter instead of restarting ### 5/5 — Historically Accurate and Extreme Immersive *2018-06-09* I never write reviews for apps but there was no way that I couldn’t for Tin Stars after completing my first play through. This is the BEST cyoa that I have ever read. The story is historically accurate, true to the time period when it comes to interactions with various characters, and the story is simply fantastic. I cannot wait to play this again and again. Definitely worth the money! ### 5/5 — I think this might be the best one! *2018-05-24* Omg the characters are so well written... Your choices and skills matter so much! I love this game soooooooooooo much! ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Classic game *2018-02-19* Always ### 5/5 — Wow! Great Game! *2017-07-24* I'm new to Choice of Games/Hosted Games, but I've recently become obsessed, and Tin Star, along with Choice of Robots, are my favorites so far. In Tin Star, the amount of detail is incredible and the way you can develop your character is really unique for a text-based game. The game is immersive, and you can be whoever you want to be: a corrupt marshal, a fair but firm marshal, a Chinese/American Indian/Female Marshal, a total screw up, a hard-drinker, a man or woman obsessed with piety or the law. The possibilities are not anywhere near exhausted by that list. Get this game.
