Sorcery! for Negative User Reviews
✓ DisappointedVery disappointed! Game play lasts only about an hour. Very few game play choices..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Polished but much too shortThis is a beautiful app, managing to capture the feel of the old Fighting Fantasy books while offering the sort of interface and simple gameplay improvements you'd expect on a tablet. If that were all I had to say on the matter, I wouldn't hesitate to give it five stars. However, be aware that this is not what I would normally describe as a full game and is not - comparatively speaking - value for money. This episode barely kept me occupied for an hour, and has left me undecided whether to pay for the other three instalments. While it's nice to be able to "preview" the gameplay this way, before signing up I recommend adding up the cost of all four episodes (as they become available) and deciding whether you're willing to pay that for what amounts to a single Choose Your Own Adventure style book. If you aren't put off by the price then go for it; it's very well put together!.Version: 1.3
✓ Not worth 5 bucks......I liked the storyline, spells, and fighting, however, it was really short..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Really shortThe 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..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Too shortThis game is amazing and fun with so many different outcomes but...... It's just two short it's only about 25 mins long when I bought this game it was $5 if it gets cheaper and becomes one dollar get if it doesn't dont get it trust me.Version: 1.3
✓ Not a complete gameThis 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..Version: 1.6.1
✓ NoWay too much reading.Version: 1.6.1
✓ All they did was exactly copy the pages of the book.Just get it from the library for free. Smh.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Cool premise- but falls short.Fun premise- love the narrative style and art. But the game was over in under an hour and I was out 5 bucks. Rewinds cheapened the weight of my decisions and combat was easily exploited. Cast a force field, attack and then defend. Rinse and repeat. Won't bother with #2. For 5 dollars they should have included the lot..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Not worth moneyPaid $5.30 for an extremely short game. Probably took less than 15 mins. Not much replay value either. Only worth $1. Don't buy.Version: 1.4
✓ Fun but way overpricedA great trip down memory lane. Great idea of turning an old series into a digital adventure. I was disappointed though to discover that it was only part 1 of 4. At this price I thought I would be getting the whole adventure, but each part is separate and costs the same (I assume for the last 2 parts). I finished it in a few days of casual playing. Left feeling somewhat disappointed.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Don't Buy. Many deaths and game lasts 1 hourNo thought to strategy. Just a series of random choices and character deaths. Game lasts 2 hours at best then they want another 5 bucks..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Fighting bugI've only just started playing this on my iPad Mini 2, but I'm having a problem. When I'm trying to fight the slider won't register so I'm constantly stuck in defence position. Sometimes it'll glitch and jump about so I'm either attacking with a lot of strength or very little - I'm never in control. I'm giving it three stars right now because so far the game looks beautiful and I'm excited to progress, I'm just unable to. I hope you'll be able to fix this!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ OkIt's ok, but it is a fairly basic succession of fantasy tropes with a linear clickthrough mechanic. Finished in little more than 1 hour and apparently you have to fork out £5 to see what happens next - nah....Version: 1.6.1
✓ Way too shortGreat game play, new idea well thought through, cool combat. Way, way way too short for what it cost. No value for money unless you want to try all the different options..Version: 1.1
✓ Great game⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For game play and the interactive story line. But I think for the price and how the game is fairly quick, it should be a lot lower..Version: 1.4.3
✓ BoringDon't buy.Version: 1.2
✓ Fun, but short for the price!The game was only about an hour long, which for $5+ is crazy! I would recommend their other game, 80 Days, instead. Much more content for the same price!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Sorcery!Way too limited in scope for the money. Few options. Short play time. Disappointing..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Waaaaytoooshort!Seriously finished in under and hour and for $6.49 what the? It's a good game but just as your getting into it it ends and it's the same price for game 2 don't buy waste of time and money!!!!.Version: 1.4.3
✓ AgreeWay to short especially for 5 bucks..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Complete rip offFinished first part in about 30 min of playtime. Then your supposed to pay again for part 2. Absolute and total rip off for 5$. Will never buy any more if these games or another Inkle product Avoid.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Please add iPhone X supportGame is at least a 4 but I can’t rate it that high until it’s updated for iPhone X. It’s an old game though so they’ve probably made their money at this point and we won’t see an update :/ still worth buying. Especially if you have a more traditional display on your phone..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Too ShortGreat game, however way too short!.Version: 1.2
✓ HmmmmGreat game but WAY to short for the cost, even going back and doing different areas finished in like an hour..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Way too short and doesn't state clearly it's Part 1 of 4I quite liked playing this game. What I got really disappointed with is that this app doesn't offer the complete story. Although in the game you are constantly reminded, that your quest is to go to place_name and retrieve the Crown, in this particular app you can only go as far as a certain city and then the app tells to wait until the second instalment comes out. As a result, apparently, you are expected to entertain yourself by taking side quests, completely unrelated to the main story. So I give 1 star mainly on the value for money grounds. If I knew that the whole adventure game will cost £3 x 4 I would never have bought it. Somehow the fact that this app is Part 1 of 4 is only stated in the very end of the description, which I think is a bit of a trickery..Version: 1.2
✓ Too shortGood game, but for $5 it's way too short. I feel ripped off... This game is just not worth the money. $2-3 would be a more fair price..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Good but shortGood game but it's over very quickly- about three hours..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Good game buy way overpricedIt’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..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Interesting game but very short.Its a good nostalgic game, that harks back to the choose your pwn adventure books. 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..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Dumb naming processCant even use your own name. You have to use the letters in the order they decide..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Brilliant but shortThis game is brilliant. It's an adaptation of the classic four part fighting fantasy series "crown of kings". It should be $2.50 due to it being very short. If the last part (sorcery 4) is $5 then it will even out since book four was over twice as thick as any of the others..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Ha?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.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Boring Story TellingI just paid $16 for the entire series and can't bring myself to finish the first one. The story is so boring. There is no meat to its bones. Deeply regret the purchase..Version: 1.6.1
✓ $5.50 for a quarter of a game??I was enjoying this game until it abruptly ended very shortly after I started it. This is the most I've ever paid for a game and to get only a couple of hours of gameplay out of it for that kind of money is an absolute rip-off!!.Version: 1.1
✓ Could have been so much better.A big fan of the books. I've been slowly building up my collection again, the 80's early 90's covers. So I was very happy to hear that it was coming out in App format. It seems very well done, everything from the music to the interactive map and the spellcasting. However, I'm EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED that Inkle has done away with rolling dice to determine your Stamina values and seems to have done away with the Skill and Luck stats altogether. The combat is also very disapointing. Far to cartoonish and not in a good way. Taking damage at every encounter. It REALLY REALLY needs to become a dice powered and driven vehicle again. In short, the combat system, lack of Skill and Luck attributes absolutely kills this App. Bring those back so that it feels like you have the book in your hands and you'd have a winner..Version: 1.1
✓ Please update for new iPhonesGreat game. Needs to be optimized for iPhone X, Xs, etc.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Only 1/4 story? Rip off!Well done game, but if i pay top dollars, i expect a FULL game. Rude..Version: 1.1
✓ InterestingI bought this game after enjoying my play through of part two, (yes yes I'm part of the group who played part two first) and was left a bit disappointed. To be honest it's way too short, at least two hours shorter than it should've been. I love the plot but jumping into this adventure while expecting the same game play duration as part two left me slightly disappointed :/ definitely definitely should've spent my money on part 3.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Good for what you get!I did enjoy the game but I found that after completing it in a couple of hours I then had to buy the second one. Game play is good and balanced. I think the different paths are well thought out and are interesting. I don't think for the price its a fair deal though. You can buy cheaper games that you get more out of. This being said the second one should have been an add on to the first possibly. Overall it is a shame as I would have like to have seen where the story was going. I shan't buy more unless the price is lowered..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Does not recapture the magic of the booksI remember loving these books. This app fails to recapture the magic of the original. It’s not necessarily a bad app design, but they’ve cut down on the story and the action so much that you get through the adventure in less than an hour. Not worth the money..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Too expensive too shortThe concept of the game & the story & the way it works is really good but at £4.99 a chapter which took me under 1 hour to complete is just far far too expensive.Version: 1.6.1
✓ HmOne of my fav games but the price i thought we would get part 2 as a update but as another app seems expensive.Version: 1.3
✓ Not so goodI had high hopes for this game. I loved Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid, and expected a fun nostalgia trip. This game did not that meet those expectations. The story is weak: I finished the game in about 40 minutes and have no idea what the point was...to get a crown? I feel like they took one game and cut it into 4 parts to make extra money. Truthfully, I regret spending the cash on this game and feel quite cheated..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Very very shortExtremely short for a 5 dollar game I feel ripped off I played for 30 mins, beat the game and it said buy sorcery 2 for another 5 dollars!!! Wow what a rip off.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Too short for the $$$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..Version: 1.6.1
✓ ShortGood game but way too short.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Too short for the price; lazyNothing about this game feels very satisfying; the combat outcomes feel random, you simply rewind every step you did wrong and worst of all, you have to get out of the story, into the spellbook ui to swipe one spell at a time through your 30 pages spellbook to remember what spells you can cast. And then, you finish what you would think would be the starting area for a 5$ game; only to realize that's it. It's done. All in all, the game could be so much more. Corners were cut all around and prices jacked up. I spent the time writing this review as a protest to such prices / content ratio..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Wonderful, but too short!!!I love the story telling. And I love the amount of options. However, after having the story abruptly end, I felt a bit cheated. Only because I felt that the story was too short to be getting you to buy the second half already. And this app was $4.99 when I bought it. Let's face it, $5 is a lot for an app these days. I understand that the developers need to make a profit, but quite honestly, it felt as though they where trying to pull one over on me. I spent $5 on a short story that abruptly ends, and the second half isn't even an in app download. It's a completely different app. Honestly, I don't plan on buying the second one. It just felt to me like corners where cut and the developers where hoping we wouldn't notice because of the games replay value (which I will talk about in a bit.) The app itself is great so long as you don't mind the shortness of it. You are presented with many options. Some of which are cookie cutter random events, and some are more thought out and have a more meaningful outcome. The beginning of the story didn't really swallow me up, which is ok for me, as long as the gameplay can keep me interested. Overall it was a lot of fun buy slightly disappointing. If both apps where priced at 2.99, I would definitely get both. I might recommend this to people who enjoy role playing..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Fastest £2.99 you'll ever waste...Okay, this is the definitive review with what you need to know, the truth. I cannot understand why this game is getting the acclaim that it does in the other reviews. I bought this game based on seeing "Around the world in 80 days" and the recommendation of the Sorcery series. So having read the reviews, I purchased Sorcery 1. It's basically an interactive storybook, giving you choices (left or right, up or down, etc) and some combat. The combat is also a series of choices and is more luck than any degree of real judgement. There is no real consequence in losing the fight either,, as you have the option of playing again, and again and again until you've learnt the pattern of attack and can win. There is no sense of jeopardy in losing the fight. And the same stands for the left and right options, made the wrong choice? No matter, simply rewind the story to the point of the decision and play again. The options are pretty obvious and no real danger seems to result in choosing either one. This makes for quite boring gameplay and very little engagement in the story or character. The othe real problem with this game is the length! I personally, without really trying, finished the whole chapter in less than hour. There was zero desire to play through again as the game is so linear and on the rails. In a word BORING. I have. The option to now download Sorcery 2, presumably after paying another £2.99, something I won't be doing....Version: 1.4.3
✓ Good fun but shortFun game, bit short for the price though.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Not worth the priceUnsurprisingly this plays out like a fighting fantasy novel with some pretty backdrops. This is a part one of four so hold off buying until the sequels come out, and if they are also 5.49 each, skip this entirely..Version: 1.2
✓ ModerateA great game filled with adventure, action, and life deciding choices. This game made me feel like my choices made an impact on how the story played out, if you were kind and patent your adventure would be much different if you were rude and cold hearted. One of the key features was the fighting enemies mechanic, having to predict how they would attack and decide how you would attack. Though once I completed the game I was not pleased with the ending of, you have done well and collected these items, buy our next game to pick off where you left of using this code. Real disappointment, overall a fun game with lot of replay ability..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Fun game but really short for $5Fun 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.......Version: 1.6.1
✓ Too short for the priceGood 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..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Over far too quickWas really enjoying this and then wham bam it was over. Have bought the series and yet to see how the rest plan out, but this first game is way too expensive..Version: 1.6.1
