Please fix this ### 4/5 — Good *2015-09-11, version 1.3.1* Pretty good, but I kept dying at one part ### 4/5 — More!! *2014-12-11, version 1.2.2* This game was incredibly entertaining, there needs to be more games like this in the App Store! ### 4/5 — Fun, short, wordy *2014-09-29, version 1.1.2* 1) solid choice of game title 2) this is just one chapter, so adjust expectations accordingly. Not gonna lie, after Life of a Wizard epicness I felt kinda cheated 3) Author likes to add extra adjectives. Probably trying to be immersive, but ended up distracting me. 4) would have given 3.5 stars, but rounded up b/c I want more choice titles ### 4/5 — Too short *2014-08-20, version 1.0.2* It's pretty good with great writing, but it's too short. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-04-01, version 1.0.0* Never felt compelled to write a review before, but this app was just too good for me to not give it five stars. It's action packed fantasy at it's best with rpg elements to keep you hooked. Cannot wait for part two! ### 5/5 — Excellent story *2014-03-29, version 1.0.0* I was a skeptic but decided to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed this story drew me in and left an impatient desire for the sequel. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2014-03-29, version 1.0.0* This interactive book is so excellent! I blasted through it in just a couple days and cannot wait to do so again. ### 5/5 — Nice *2014-03-29, version 1.0.0* Worth the wait ### 5/5 — Pretty entertaining! *2014-03-29, version 1.0.0* Your character in this CYOA is a demon hunter (big surprise) who hunts down a demon that destroys his/her village. This is the first part of what will be a series and that being said I thought that it was a good introduction to the world and some of the characters in it. I enjoyed my character immensely and felt that he was powerful, but not overly so. I didn't feel that the puzzles were too hard. I loved the choices. What I didn't love was the music. It isn't that the music was not good, but it just didn't seem necessary at all. I loved the occasional graphics that would introduce characters. The game went pretty quickly but I will be buying the next one. Thanks! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Entertaining but full of errors *2014-04-29, version 1.1.1* This app is interesting enough if you are willing to look beyond its bugs, which are myriad. There is a misspelling on the very first page. Several pages are truncated, keeping you from reading the story, your faithful companion gets randomly renamed in scenes (which is, I'm sure, a coding error for custom names), The story also contradicts itself between pages (on one page you may spend all night working to replace a tool that was destroyed and on the next you're waking up bemoaning the loss of it, resolving to move on without one). If you're willing to look past all the mistakes, then I'd say go ahead with this app; I'd personally advise to wait until some polish is added otherwise though. Was this even beta tested? Edit: I received a message from the author directly via Facebook due to my two star rating (not at all creepy) for the original release due to errors it contained. The message suggested I try the app again as many of the errors it had in its release had been fixed; I downloaded the app again but stopped once I ran into one of the same errors. I was going to leave well enough alone (and leave the two star rating) before reading his rants posted online (on a forum I frequent) which bashed any of his reviewers that provided a 1-4 star rating. "Yeah; I have yet to read an intelligent review that's below a 4. I severely doubt I ever will," was one nice post of many. If you can't take honest criticism, don't put a product out before it's thoroughly tested. Reviews are meant to provide customer feedback to other potential buyers and they will not always be 5 star ratings. ### 1/5 — Are you kidding me? *2014-04-05, version 1.0.2* Did you really just charge me for a game that took 20 minutes to read and probably about the to write? Nobody should pay for this garbage. Seriously. This is one of the worst choice of games out there. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2016-02-21, version 1.3.4* The story in this game felt a bit sparse and you didn't really feel invested in the characters enough. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2015-12-12* I cannot give this game a fair rating because although I love these games, this particular game crashes immediately upon start up so I am not able to even have any opinion on what the game is about. I'm giving this two stars be cause I have faith that once this big is fixed this game will be fun. But until then this game is zero stars. ### 2/5 — Had the potential *2014-04-21, version 1.1.0* So, I'll start with the good things first. Artwork was nice and there was music to go along with the story (I found it distracting but you can turn it off). The concept is a good idea. Now for the bad. I noticed quite a few spelling errors. There were also some cohesiveness errors. Things you chose didn't line up in the next page. It was also very short. I died once, restarted another, and still beat the entire game relatively quickly. If I had to choose again, I'd wait a couple months for the bugs to be fixed. Even then I'd probably wouldn't spend almost two dollars. Finally, something that just irked me. At the end the author asked for no bad reviews to be put on the review page, instead to just send it all to his Facebook as they didn't want the bad reviews to be public. Not cool at all. The review page is for honest critiques. ### 2/5 — Boring and repetitive *2014-04-05, version 1.0.2* It has good writing. That's pretty much it. Otherwise, the game isn't very good. It basically goes: pick weapons, fight with those weapons, pick more weapons, fight with those weapons, pick weapons, escape, the end for now. There isn't much of an actual story, just constant fighting. Choice of Broadsides has action, but it also has a really good story. Same with the Heroes Rise series. There just isn't much to this game. It's short, repetitive, and boring. If you like that, then by all means, go ahead and buy it. But I wouldn't recommend it. 😕 ### 3/5 — Ok *2015-04-18, version 1.3.0* It's good quality loads of detail but short like really short ! ### 3/5 — Short.... Very short *2015-02-28, version 1.3.0* Overall a good story, but really short. I also felt like several stats were missing, you had to make decisions about how to attack, with some options not available. Sometimes you failed what you attempted and it felt like there was a stat governing you success or failure, but there weren't any applicable stats in you stats menu. If they are there, it would be nice to see them so we have some idea what the strengths of our character is. ### 3/5 — Has the potential *2015-01-05, version 1.2.3* I bought this game while back, the latest updates are an improvement, however the story is still short. The writing is okay, the world is pretty good.. I like the music, looking forward for the second Part, I hope it is better than this first. ### 3/5 — Good game but to short *2014-03-30, version 1.0.0* This is a good game and this is coming from a 13 year old but the only thing I don't like about it is that it way to short it also needs some work done on ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good 1st Book! 2nd book: “Captive of Fortune” on Apple *2018-03-12, version 1.4.1* This is a great, fun read for fantasy genre fans! I had trouble finding the second book for my iPad because it’s called, “Captive of Fortune,” and that is DEFINITELY not the title linked at the end!! I’m a fan of these continuation stories where you keep your progress. The Samurai of Hyunga series is like that, and I’ve replayed the 3 books several times! I’m looking forward to this next book... ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2016-08-15, version 1.4.1* Love the idea of the sound track also could you put the meaning of some words in parentheses i personally don't know a couple of the words you use but still a great game ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2016-01-05, version 1.3.4* Amazing. A good beginning to a series ### 5/5 — Addicting *2015-05-05, version 1.3.0* I love reading especially fantasy! It had good plot characters music and all. It was short because if the next volume but over all it was awesome! I have downloaded a lot of Hosted Games and choice of games and this is the top 5! ### 5/5 — Excellent fantasy CYOA *2014-11-02, version 1.1.2* Well written and entertaining, this interactive fiction app has an amazing adventure story with music and graphics. ### 5/5 — great *2014-10-18, version 1.1.2* please make part two i realy enjoyed this and cant wait for the next one ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2014-07-12* This interactive novel is filled with a lot of cool lore and interesting choices. Great replayability with lots of interesting options to succeed. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-05-21, version 1.1.2* Finally another story that I actually like reading. I can't wait for the next chapter! ### 5/5 — Great Game *2014-04-30, version 1.1.1* Great Game, fun to play, really short though, Wish it was longer, companion should be able to shape shift into any of the choices instead of just one. ### 5/5 — Awesome but quite short... *2014-04-05, version 1.0.2* Loved the gameplay! The fact that it had pictures and music (though set on a loop) stood out to me in a very good way, and was a lot better overall then some of the other games available. It's a must buy! Definitely worth the price tag and feel like it has great future potential.
