Sorcery! 2 for Positive User Reviews

Amazing depthBetter than the original books! Buy this.Version: 1.1.2

Sad that its over ;(I played the first game and was so happy to find a game with the combonation of turn based combat, choose your own adventure, and puzzle solving i also love the spell-system how you have to write a 3 letter combo/word/abrivation. I beat the first in 2 days and searched for all the clues in this one however i still gave up and let lorag curse me, what i want to see in the next game is a way to possibly win over Lorag and have him either leave you or assist you cant wait for part 3 hope you make it soon..Version: 1.1.4

Terrific gameThis builds upon the first book and adds interesting new systems like the dice game and detailed maps of interior locations. The sound is amazing as always, and the relaxed attitude to rewinding and replaying is faithful to way you manipulated the pages of the books..Version: 1.0.1

WowWow what a great game very difficult finding all four lines but none the less a great game. Cant wait for the next one! Definitely Excited to see how the story plays out..Version: 1.1.2

Even better than the 1st partThese are great. Being able to move a character from one book to another is great because it let's you fight and cast spells at a level that makes you feel pretty powerful and cool in many situations. Great game..Version: 1.1.1

Absolutely incredibleI already wrote a short review for the first one and I feel the exact same way about this one, except for the fact that I loved it even more! There's not much to say that's already been said, it's just great and I would recommend it to anyone. Easily my favourite app on the AppStore to this day..Version: 1.2.1

Better than the originalI played the Sorcery! game books as a kid, and this app is even better than the original source material (which I loved). The minor bugs I previously encountered all seem to have been fixed. My only minor critique is that I would like to be able to delete some of the cloud-saved games..Version: 1.1.4

Absolutely stunningBought part 1 and this one. Eagerly awaiting part3 and then part 4 ! I wish more series were made like this one..Version: 1.1.3

A True OriginalAddictive, replay value, atmospheric, innovative. It's no shoot 'me up, but if you want a quality story with a full game in one download, it's hard to go wrong with Sorcery! 2. Do yourself a favour and get Sorcery! as well to play the whole unfolding saga..Version: 1.1.4

Great gameI never played the books but this is really good, as was part one. Hoping parts 3 and 4 are in the works.Version: 1.1.4

Great! Better than the first one.This is a really fun game. It is the more the urn version of a choose your own adventure book that also has a fighting system. It's well written and has beautiful art. I also founded it to be very interactive. This second game in the trilogy is way longer than the first one. It has good replayability value and is more fun. If you like choose your own adventure games I highly recommend it..Version: 1.2.1

Even better than the first time!The 2nd chapter in the updated Sorcery! series improves the upon the first in every way (which was already a superb start). There is much more to explore here with greater depth and detail and, of course, lots of new villains and challenges to overcome. You'll find hours and hours of immersive adventuring in Khare and yet when done, plenty of unexplored parts of the city and sub plots to still uncover. Khare (and the Sorcery! series) is simply put, a perfect blend of great storytelling integrated with classic board game elements and modern technology. Find a comfy chair, get started (highly recommend that you start with the first chapter in the series), and you'll find yourself in a world you won't forget!.Version: 1.1.1

Love itOnly just started but love it so far!.Version: 1.0.1

Amazing!!!I can't believe how much mileage I got out of this game. I played the first Sorcery three different times and loved each adventure, but my first playthrough of Sorcery 2 was way longer than all three of the original playthroughs combined. I could probably play this game three more times and still not see all the content. Thank you Sorcery team!.Version: 1.1.4

Stellar storytellingThis interactive fiction/game is just superb. With cheats you could probably tear through it very quickly, but you'd be missing the point--unraveling a story, exploring the town, and ultimately finishing with the best combination of items to give you a leg up in part 3 are what this is about. Worth every penny for folks who love RPGs. One of the very best and somehow even better than part 1!.Version: 1.1.4

Really enjoyed playingI'm really enjoying playing, however it does get quite difficult at times, a walkthrough showing Nobel locations would be nice? Also, I had over 100 gold but nothing left to buy. Apart from this, it is a truly outstanding game well worth 10x the price..Version: 1.1.3

The second part keeps the superb standardNow I know it's been a while, but I'm sure inkle have changed this books story and path! And what a master stroke it was too. I had my suspicions they had altered it when I found myself in a game of swindlestones in the jail (so addictive that I ended up over the course of this story playing 27 games of it!) and just when I thought I could use my knowledge of reading the book previously to breeze through... Inkle went and altered how to do it! I have lost a weekend traversing the cityport, and without ruining it too much don't be too disheartened if you reach the gate without everything you needed... All isn't necessarily lost. Once again they give those of us keen to check out the alternatives options to rewind back steps. Harder to complete than the first part, just like the books, but absolutely brilliant..Version: 1.1.3

The Benchmark for GamebooksThe uniquely interactive storyline continues with Sorcery! 2. Improvements in this sequel is most notable in the fighting arena and use of spells. Casting is much more intuitive. One downside would be that the story looked much more like an RPG than a choose-your-own-adventure book. The plot turned on completing quests. There was also more loot to be discovered, which was helpful (the previous game was too stingy). Lastly there was thr addition of swindle-stones. I enjoyed the gambling games, and was able to amass a large amount of money quite quickly thereby..Version: 1.1.1

Best iOS game ever (second to battle heart)This game is amazing! It says you don't need to play part 1 but you really should. It's so in depth and detailed it will blow your mind. The branching storyline system in this game has been perfected. This is the only game where what you do actually matters. Mass Effect and Walking Dead claim to have branching story lines but no matter what you choose it ends the same in those games. In this game your choices mean everything! This game has real risk and real excitement. Stop reading this review and buy this game! Seriously! This should be a contender for 2013 game of the year behind only maybe fire emblem awakening! Must buy! Do it now!.Version: 1.1

Awesome rpg from an old bookI was surprised by how much I am enjoying this game. It really deserves more attention than it appears to be getting. Each scene can be played out in so many different ways. The game really makes me feel like I am the one on the adventure and all my decisions count. So far I have played the game for over 3 hours and it appears I am not even 1/4 of the way there. Definitely worth the $5, and I suggest buying the first game too because this is a direct continuation of it and all your progress saves..Version: 1.1.3

A great adventureLots of replay value because of all the choices you must make and it will determine how well you are in the next game so your character choices of buying or not buying or killing or sparing, even trusting the wrong person can mean your death/end worth the price their asking cant wait for book 3.Version: 1.1.4

Finally!Been waiting for this one since the summer and its been well worth it. So far it has way more choices than the last game, and thanks to the clues section added to the adventure sheet, you can now keep track of the information you acquire to help complete your quest. Great job inkle, I'm sure part 3 is gonna be even better!.Version: 1.0.1

Very enjoyableMake it multi-user and iCloud. Now I need to wait until my girlfriend finish it before I can start playing (yea she resetted my games when trying to start anew gameplay). Icloud is to allow me to play while at work on my iphone and at home on my ipad air 😉.Version: 1.1.3

Magic!This is amazing, a great revisitation of the genre, keeps you into the story and plays very smooth. Didn't stumble on anything this fascinating on the app store in a while..Version: 1.1.3

Please help!I am enjoying the game but I CANNOT FIND A WAY OUT of the red eye prison!! Please help me!.Version: 1.3.2

Fantastic 'gamebook'I loved the first (highly recommend you play it first) and I'm loving this one. It's a four part series so looking forward to the next chapter in the story but basically it's a book for gamers ;) Also, there is a cloud save feature so you can continue this story with your items from the first Sorcery! Definitely recommend you play this..Version: 1.1.2

The best game i've played in the app storeThis game is so well written it makes me angry. The Biowares and Bethesdas of the world have clearly regressed from what was done by a single writer in the 1980's. I recall that the lead designer of Oblivion once said that in his younger pen and paper days, he predicted that games would eventually progress to the point where they could stand next to Shakespeare on the bookshelves. Having played this, I can see how he once entertained that hope..Version: 1.1.2

CaptivatingBrings back so many great memory's. The imagination that goes into the sorcery books really does take you to another world. Inkle have done an excellent job of bringing the originals to a completely new level. Outstanding app..Version: 1.1.4

Please make a next one!!!I can tell you've stopped developing this series of game and it's so sad because I love it and am looking forward to the third one! Please please please!.Version: 1.1.4

Wow!!I want more!.Version: 1.1.4

Totally Awesome!!Steve Jackson & Inkle, give me my life back!! I couldn't stop playing until I finished with a decent set of money, items and spells... loved every minute of it. What a great game, really engaging and a lot fun to play, intelligent too and difficult enough to make it challenging. Loved the storyline and all the twists and turns. This is now one of my favourite games, can't wait for part 3..Version: 1.1.3

I love this gameI love this game I bits with its replay value but I have found a really annoying glitch with the spells were they don't say what the spell is. I don't know if this is a bug or something but please note I did burn the spellbook, however some words don't appear when writing them too..Version: 1.1.1

Fantastic but where is part 3!I love the game, it is one of my favourite IOS games of all time and I've played it again and again. However the description says part 3 is coming April 2014 and it is now May 2014!! Where is our part 3 Inkle!!.Version: 1.1.4

Epic AdventureThis game way epic and I recommend it to anyone out there how likes magic mystery and tails. The game can last for a long time and can be replayed with I different adventure ever time..Version: 1.1.4

ExceptionalThis is such good realisation of a classic gamebook. I can't recommend it enough. Just great. Smooth and looks good. Get the first one. Then get this one..Version: 1.1.3

A deviously epic storyI didn't expect this to read like a book, or a film, but it really does. Thoroughly enjoyed it; also, unusually for an app, well worth the tenner for the trilogy..Version: 1.2.1

Favourite Game By FarAbsolutely loved this game and have recently just got back into it making my endings pretty perfect in each! I'd gave it a break last year after sorcery 2 came waiting for sorcery 3! We all know Inkle and the team are an exceptional game designing company, especially after the wondrous 80 days, so I was just wondering if it was possible to give us a release date? Thankyou!.Version: 1.1.4

Worth every pennyThe original Sorcery! Was pretty short, so I was disappointed that I had already bought both games at the same time, but since my progress from the original was saved, I started to play this game. Boy, was I glad I did. This game is about 5 times longer, and really engaging. It also has way more items and spell usage opportunities than the first chapter. I seriously cannot recommend this sequel enough..Version: 1.1.4

An memorable trek through a unique citySaying that Sorcery is an adaptation of a gamebook would be barely scratching the surface. It's a book, it's an RPG, it's an adventure game. Above all, this episode is an exploration of a vast city filled with memorable characters and locations, with countless adventures to have, secrets to uncover and traps to avoid. This episode has all the features that made the first one great, and addresses some of its shortcomings. Those who found the first one too short and easy will have much more of a challenge this time - and might be tempted to go back to part 1 to prepare better. And those who've already gone through the books will find the city subtly changed (and more than a little expanded) from what they remember. Sorcery 2 is a magnificent game with tons of charm, polish and replay value, and I can't recommend it enough..Version: 1.1.4

Wonderful, fun gameIf you ever enjoyed the Steve Jackson pick your path books then you will love this app. The combat system is more enjoyable than the books too. I love how the gambling mini game doubles as a way to get information/clues to advance the plot. Cleverest innovation. So far it seems a bit longer than sorcery part 1 so that's nice. Well done inkle. This series may well be my favorite apps to date. Keep up the good work. :).Version: 1.1

Magic!Wow, this takes me back. I've wanted to play this again for ages and this is a superb update of the classic books, the spell casting interface is especially satisfying. Bet most people playing this are in their forties though. Look forward to the next two books of the series..Version: 1.0.1

Make sure you play Sorcery 1 firstIf you haven't already played sorcery 1 then you shouldn't even be reading the review for this particular game. However if you played it and are trying to decide whether you should get this one then there is no question, you have to get this! It's far larger than the first and and much more fun. My only issue with Sorcery 2 is the fact that they didn't stay very true to the source material. They certainly added a lot of stuff that wasn't in the book. However I can't argue the fact that the stuff they added was pretty good. All in all I can't wait for the third part, I think it'll be amazing..Version: 1.1.2

Brilliant!This is hands down the best series of games I have played on the iPhone. Do yourself a favour, BUY IT!!.Version: 1.1.1

!!!Another fantastic gaming experience. Keep up the great work, inkle! Looking forward to your next game..Version: 1.1.3

Great!!!Great sequel to the first sorcery with action, suspense and engaging story, characters and gameplay. Cannot wait for the third one!.Version: 1.1.4

The ultimate take on a classic adventureLong before "Skyrim" and "Dark Souls" and "Diablo" there was the game-book. Hugely popular during the 80's when I was a lad, the "Sorcery" series was the most ambitious and well-realized of this genre. "Kharé" is the second of the four books in this series and this game is a brilliant reimagining and expansion of the city-port's dark delights. inklestudios have done a wonderful job of keeping the vision of the original books (and their fantastically twisted artwork) while expanding that world and making it a great gaming experience for a modern audience. "Kharé" the game is a real labor of love, filled with great little touches, unique and enjoyable mechanics (Swindletones!) and a darkly humorous atmosphere. One play-through will not be enough, as you explore different paths and replay the same scenes in vastly different ways. Even if you did not grow up with game-books, if you love fantasy and adventure and want to experience something utterly unique, play this game. Better yet, play through the first "Sorcery" game then go explore Kharé. You won't regret it..Version: 1.1.2

FantasticSuperb game very fun. More content than the first game..Version: 1.1.2

OutstandingA breathtaking treatment of an excellent game book series. This updates and adds to the brilliant Sorcery 2 book. Atmospheric and engrossing. I played it through seven times!.Version: 1.1.1

No reviews?For some reason the iStore showed that no reviews were received for this game. So, for an altruistic act I felt obligated to add my own experience of this amazing adventure. However, it seems I was not the first, and so my great effort is not required. I will no longer need to comment on the outstanding and memorable art work provided throughout the story, or the rich compliments of mini-games (swindlerdice or whatever the dice game was called), the small but appreciated map details and movement sequences, and finally, it is quite disappointing that I couldn't share my gratitude for such an intriguing and exciting storyline through both part 1 and part 2. And so, my voice will be unheard, and people may still continue to skip the $4.99 price and move on to a more immediate pleasure ($9.98 for both parts) If I were to wish anything more, it would be for a successful completion of the last two parts(3&4), and for a more forgiving price..Version: 1.1.2

IOS gamebook game changer!Inkle have done it again. I didn't think they could top the experience I had with their first Sorcery! adaptation but they've done it with aplomb. This isn't just a gamebook on iOS, it's a whole tabletop rpg experience. Cannot WAIT for the last two parts!.Version: 1.0.1

One of my favs on the App StoreThe text is beautifully written. I highly recommend headphones, the audio is incredibly immersive and makes you feel like you are literally walking the streets of Kahre. The map itself is my personal favorite, the combination of 2d and 3d elements adds so much to the immersive experience. This game is like reading a fantasy novel, except instead if imagining it, it is laid out in front of you. Absolutely stunning..Version: 1.1.3

Superb.Just superb, a brilliant experience that transitions very well to an ipad, in fact better than a book version IMHO. A lively adventure that makes you feel that many of your choices have weight. Lovely audio and also graphical interface..Version: 1.1.2

True to originalThis app is just great! If you are familiar with the source material the developers have stayed very true to the books (even keeping the incredible original illustrations) and expanded the experience. Best thing I have ever played on iPhone..Version: 1.1.4

Keep the great story going!Love this series. Have never played anything like it. Recommend you play the first one before trying this one..Version: 1.1.4

This is superbA big expansion on the original and spectacular fun. So many branches and choices! It's dangerous, but delightful to explore Kharé and I keep wanting to go back to find more hidden secrets. Ten out of ten..Version: 1.2.1

Great gamebookGreat game - beautiful visuals, great sound, fun tactical fighting system. The spell book mechanism is improved on the last game. Exploring the branching pathways is as always the best, most compelling part of the game. Definitely the best gamebook on the iStore at the moment, and well worth the money..Version: 1.0.1

Brilliant and dark streets of Kharé!This game is incredibly enjoyable and well thought through! I personally felt that Sorcery! Part 1 goes too quick. But the creepy streets of Kharé offer such intense diversity of possibility, magic at every corner, exciting battles and rewards, gambling and money making (yeah!) and hidden items, the game is impossible to put down! This isn’t only for original fans of the book - I personally never read the original parts 2-4, so no nostalgia bias here. Well done inkle for this true work of art! Tin Man Games, please take notice!.Version: 1.2.1

Unique and ContextThis game is worth the $5 and here is why. It is unique, has an interesting battle strategy, an addicting minigame within, and the different paths that can be taken are limitless which adds to the replay value. This game directly connects to the Sorcery! Game allowing for more possibilities, and overall a longer journey. Simply put, this is one of the best games on the market when played with the first continuation giving one of the best replay values this market has to offer..Version: 1.1.4

StunningIncredible digital implementation of the fighting fantasy books. The developers should be proud of what they've achieved..Version: 1.1.1

Get it nowI love this game .working my way through the city port of traps collecting magic items killing beasts and much much more . A recommend this game for everyone.Version: 1.1.4

Khmer, Cityport of AWESOMEThis is part two of the Sorcery epic. Part one not required but you can continue. For about the same price as the original book in the 1980s you get so much more. Vastly expanded plot, gambling, mysteries, exploration, horrible deaths... It's all there and all brilliant. Beautiful city map, effective background ambient noise, action, adventure. Buy now!.Version: 1.0.1

Completely outstanding, a must buy.Gorgeous game, im big reader and this just feels like a perfect interactive story with nearly infinite replay value, a simple yet entertaining combat aspect, and possibly best of a very extensive magical spell selection which let's you completely change situations to your advantage. For each encounter with monsters or other characters you can generally cast 3 or4 different spells each giving a totally unique twist to the encounter, and that's on top of the non magical conversation options. ( and don't worry they are most certainly plentiful and varied too) I'm putting this review on 2 but everything I've said is just as good there. This is a definite 5/5 and a must by if you're into story heavy RPGs, fantasy novels, or just great and inspired games in general. To top it all off: the developers are wonderful people always listening to feedback and clearly giving it everything they've got. Here is to them and to the fervent hope the next and final two games are every bit the masterpieces the first two have been..Version: 1.1.4

Get's better and better...The story line really picks up with the second novel - quite dark but highly entertaining..Version: 1.1.2

Can't put it downThis is my first game of the Sorcery series and it was brilliant, creative, and addicting. Going to download the first now, and then all of them..Version: 1.3.2

YayI only just noticed that part 2 is out and now I'm going to play it and replay 100 times this is an amazing game series.Version: 1.0.1

Jan rules!!!!Played sorcery 1 amazing (especially with Jann the minimite he was beast and stated with me in d previous adventure!) now sorcery 2 beautiful honestly best game ever!.Version: 1.1.2

Perfect!!!This game actually has exceeded my standards because of many different reason. First of all I couldn't stop playing this game, and was very surprised about this, as I have never before played any type of game where you make your own choices this much, and I also have never read any of these types of books... I bought the second game, because I thought, why not buy the one that looks like it has better graphics... When I played for about an hour, I really started getting into it, and really liked the very nice pictures that accompany a lot of text... After I have actually now finished it, but am sure have not gone to all the places and watched all outcomes of conversations, etc. I regret not buying the first one and trying it out instead so I can go on with the story, but I can actually agree that this game is better than a lot of others these days, and I really did not mind reading the whole entire story as it was very intriguing. Overall, a great game, but you would have to figure out for yourself why it is so. The only thing that I kinda thought was a bit of cheating is that the game is $5, whilst I think it should maybe be a bit lower....Version: 1.1.2

BEST book-to-app adaptation. PERIOD.This app. This company. I read the Sorcery books as they were released, and played through them. Not only did Inkle successfully adapt of the gameplay and the story content of book 1 and 2 -- they improved upon them. The story, the charters, the town, the atmosphere, it's all richer than the original books, giving the strong impression that this app is the way the stories should have been played all along. I have never felt like any app purchase was money as well spent as the money I spent on this. Keep up the good work, guys! I'll be looking forward to books 3 and 4!.Version: 1.1

Absolutely Live It!I watched The Yogscast play this on there stream a few mounts back and just remembered it the other week so I decided to buy it. I've played through it about 4 times now and have had completely different endings each time! This game is amazing!.Version: 1.1.4

An incredible adventureThis is, without a doubt, one of the greatest games created for iOS. The story is gripping, the writing is great, and the level of freedom within the game world is unrivaled. Be sure to start with the first Sorcery!, as your character carries over. Certain items from the first game open up possibilities in the next one that are otherwise unreachable. I eagerly await Sorcery! 3..Version: 1.1.4

Nostalgic and revolutionary! Can't wait for part 3!!There's been a lot of resurgence of the old Steve Jackson & Ian Livingstone adventure books on the App Store. Some adaptations have been nothing more than scanned pages of the original books with a big-standard dice system chucked on top (coughtinmancough), and have nothing really new to bring to the interactive RPG book format. Inkle has got it absolutely 100% spot on with Sorcery 2! Not only is it pretty faithful to the book, it has some pretty neat additions, all meticulous and gorgeous. This is the rebirth of an old classic, redone so that original players of the book can feel nostalgic, and it is accessible to new players who have never played an interactive book before. Only gripe is the sporadic creasing on my iPad, and the occasional disappearing swindle stones bug, but otherwise, it's pretty much perfect. Other companies should take note from Inkle. They've raised the bar incredibly high!!.Version: 1.1.3

Favourite sorcery gamePlay every sorcery but this one is the most complex and fun in my opinion.Version: 1.3.2

This game is awesome!!!This game is so much fun. It has tons of cool mechanics that give it that adventure/decide your destiny style game book. Haven't finished it yet, but I can't wait till part three. P.S. It was worth every cent of the 4.99 as long as u played sorcery 1 before hand. P.P.S. You need to thank the yogscast soooo much, your game would have none of it's well deserved popularity without them!.Version: 1.1.4

Bug with swindlestone textGreat game so far, but there is a bug in Swindlestone where the text is illegible because it is white on a white background. IPhone 6s, iOS 14.6.Version: 1.3.3

Open world text adventureBrilliant. Takes the polished original Sorcery adventure and more than doubles it in size, depth and variety. You must try this whether you enjoyed fantasy gamebooks or not..Version: 1.0.1

Great GameI love that they give you the choice to continue the story or end it at the end..Version: 1.3.2

Much larger than the first one.Fantastically in-depth story branches allow for a different play through each time. While the first one was great, this one grants more path options, fixes the spell casting, adds a seriously addictive mini game, and the overarching riddle of the plot demands the player’s attention. You’re looking at several hours of gameplay on a single play through and, when it’s over, restarting is practically mandatory. I can’t wait for the next one..Version: 1.0.1

Awesome!Literally played for hours. I am having a blast with this!.Version: 1.1.3

WonderousJust joyously brilliant. I've never enjoyed an app more. And even more fun if you know the original book as well as I do..Version: 1.2.1

Fantastic!Gameplay true to the original fighting fantasy books with superb graphics and writing - ditch your angry birds folks this is what the iPad was made for!.Version: 1.0.1

My Top Favorite GameI am a magick fan and strategy lover. Not to mention when you give me a game that is good and well made. It will be an instant legend and always be played. More than likely you could play this game ten times over and not see the same thing twice. It’s a very thought immersing, sophisticated, well put together and designed strategy game. The story, characters, lore, the items even are memorable, and the places you have traveled definitely will give you either fond memories or bad memories. Those memories and feelings can change quickly for one event that was previously not explored, or even a spell, or a different conversation can and will result in different reactions. I have so far, gotten through Sorcery One and half through Sorcery two, I did try Sorcery three and stopped to finish the second. I can’t wait to finish them all and play again. You do not need thought provoking applications or memories and brain enhancing apps. Strategy, euphoria, thinking five, six and sometimes well ahead, while being mindful to a common person and just as cautious with what appears benign, but being open to take risks progress you in so many facets and ways in your mind and the game. It is in many senses, almost a game that can be utilized as a very seldom life experience for real life. Always be careful in all situations but live your life and have fun always while listening to all your senses and feelings. Your mind is the present, logic, and memories or reason. Your heart is what guides you and the present moment to always be aware of and follow. Your gut is instinct and the future. Always remember that and it will be understood in time to know if your heart and mind are being tricked by something you can’t see if your gut is telling you no. Or if your gut says yes and your heart is weary is only telling you to proceed guarded but with courage. Always rationalize and never listen to anything but your internal voice. If it doesn’t feel right. It’s not. I guess I’ve been playing this game too much. Well. Back to it. Thank you!!!!.Version: 1.3.3

Still a brilliant gameIt's December 2023 and this game still stands out. The story will pull you in and then it's hard to put down. Highly recommended..Version: 1.3.3

Brilliant - bring out Socery 3 ASAP!Simply amazing - brilliant enthralling story and with so many options you can really play this as a hero, villain or somewhere more pragmatic in between. This is by far the best game I have bought on the AppStore and the other Socery comes a close second. I was honestly addicted to this game and I am amazed at how well they have put together a complex book and added even more content. I played these books as a kid and think Inkle have done a great job. Please bring out Socery 3 soon!.Version: 1.1.4

BrilliantI loved the original books, but this way of telling the story is superb and beautifully designed. looking forward to the next two parts..Version: 1.1.4

It's actually really good!Don't beat off into a sock! Try to complete this first and then beat off into a sock! It's actually a good game imo.Version: 1.1.4

A triumph!When I was a kid, I loved Fighting fantasy gamebooks and my favourites were the Sorcery! series. Coming across the adaptation of the first book in the App Store a couple of weeks ago, I thought I'd give it a try for nostalgia reasons. I wasn't disappointed. The same love and attention to detail had been put into the app as was put into the gamebook 30 years ago. Then we come to the second book/app, released a few days ago - Wow! This is much expanded - everything that was in the book is here but there's so much more. More locations, more puzzles, more enemies. Also, this is a beautifully designed game. I wish other apps were designed with this much care. Anyway, I'm two play-throughs done on this game and want to start a third! I really hopeweI don't have to wait too long for The Seven Serpents! Many thanks for the nostalgia trip inkle!.Version: 1.0.1

A spectacular game!!!I rarely find a game that won't lose my interest after playing it for a little while. However, when I played this game I played it non-stop until I completed it (both chapters). Even my little sister who has never been too great at reading and has always completely hated it has been playing this so much that she probably has no clue how much she's read. Even the art was spectacular from the map to the accession all picture hidden through the story giving a view of what your character was seeing. It was wonderful to see what was described in the story on the map. This is one of my absolute favorite apps and I can not see a time when it will ever leave my home screen. I am anxiously waiting for the next chapter of the story to be released..Version: 1.1.4

AmazingVery good and is a lot longer than the first installment!.Version: 1.1.4

I like itI love the choose your path story games..Version: 1.3.2

This sequel does not disappoint!I loved the original Sorcery! and couldn't wait for the second installment. This version greatly improved upon and expanded the unique touch screen game play of its predecessor. The writing is excellent and the number of choices at each juncture really increase the playback value. Add to that, the updated spell and combat interface as well as the new swindle sticks side game, you've got hours of choose-your-own adventure style game play ahead of you. I only encountered some weirdness while using the rewind function later in the game, so I would advise using that with caution. Game ran smoothly on my 4th gen iPad. Well done inkle!.Version: 1.1.2

Amazing Story, Amazing GameSorcery! 2 - Kharé, Cityport of Traps does not disappoint. In fact, the Sorcery game series has shown for a second time that it is the best choose your way RPG adventure. The story is marvelous, the art stylings are very unique, the puzzles and riddles make for hours of gameplay, and the overall story is amazing. You could not ask for a better original fantastic story of a brave adventurer. Thank you, inkle, for another beautiful installment, and I eagerly await Sorcery! 3 - The Seven Serpants..Version: 1.1.2

A masterpieceAs a fan of the books 30 years ago I was intrigued as to how well it would convert to iPad. The first game was good but this one is in a league of its own. Beautiful to look at and faithful to original story. Would recommend to anyone with a love of adventure and an imagination!.Version: 1.1.4

The Best!!!I don't usually do reviews, however, this story is by far the best game driven read out there! For a phone anyways!!.Version: 1.3.2

Amazing game!I can count off games of this quality made for mobile devices on one hand. This one does not wow for the graphics. The story is fascinating though. It took me two days of solid playing just to find all the clues. I know I missed loot and such I could have gotten. A word to the hesitant: buy the first one first. It is shorter, but it's important. And several days later I'm still playing. For those that are startled by the price there is no advertisements. No nag to review and no in app purchases..Version: 1.1.4

Awesome.I thought the first chapter was kind of short (finished in a day), but this one kept me entertained for at least a week. There's a specific objective in this one which is more challenging than the straight-forward journey of the first chapter, and this one also introduces a neat mini game that will keep you occupied for a while.Version: 1.3.2

AWESOMEEven better then the 1st! Plz make more book/apps!!!.Version: 1.1.4

Escapism at its finest!Couldn't put his down. As a big lover of the original books I feel lucky to have found this and been able to re-discover the fun. Thanks all..Version: 1.3.2

Great adventure gamebookAwesome game and app. Only issue is that I wish they could develop them faster. Can't imagine how long the 4th book will take..Version: 1.1.1

Love it but....Once you get the blue rewind at the end could you make it so either your old choices ( the red rewinds) are harder to choose (or ask you twice if you sure you want to rewind to that red choice).Unfortunately I lost over half of my progress in the game. Still really enjoy it and don't mind running this gauntlet again, but it was a bit disheartening..Version: 1.0.1

This is the best game everThis is so amazingly fun ! This is the best game I've play that's not on PC and trust me I've play a lot of games ! Can't wait for part 3 !!!!.Version: 1.1.4

FantasticOne of the few mobile adventure games I've played and couldn't put down. Rich lore, strong writing, and some smart elements of game design make for one amazing ride. Highly recommended..Version: 1.3.2

Amazing!This is, by far, the most entertaining game I've played on my iPhone. It's amazing how visual my memories of the different moments in this game are considering it's mainly a text based game! This is not a game book, it is a constant stream of choices making the story feel like it's being written as you play. The places, characters and moments are well written, and there are so many choices and outcomes the game could be played multiple times. $5 well spent!.Version: 1.1.4

BrilliantAbsolutely *ahem* spellbinding game. Builds on the already fantastic first one and offers a great gaming experience. Can't wait for the series to continue..Version: 1.1.2

Better than most books1 & 2 are brilliant... If you miss infocom style storytelling but hate the clunky interfacing and silly endless questions, Sorcery is the next logical step in novella game evolution. Jackson is a genius in his own right and games like his, when all said and done, will outlast all the pop-games, to be remembered as a progressive contribution to gaming innovation. Sorcery is my Game of the Year an perhaps one of the best games ever made for mobile. sorcery is short, but very replayable, and the spot on writing makes up for the time. I've only played one character through but can't wait to try new choices, this game is most enjoyable when one role plays decisions and sticks to them rather than redoing everything: but don't fret you can redo anything. ^_^ enjoy~.Version: 1.0.1

Stunning!I still own all of the original books, and I am amazed at how well designed this app is. In addition, the ability to make the combat and mini-games interactive greatly enhance the experience. I remember in high-school and college I had wanted to try and make a computer based version of the books. My rudimentary understanding of programming and limited artistic ability clearly could not have come up with a game as elegant as this. I can't wait to complete the series!.Version: 1.1.2

Just great, great, great.Well written, fluid gameplay, charming illustrations, real drama. Gorgeous all over. Loved it..Version: 1.1.3

Loved itIf you want a more in depth review then was my review of part one. But I think it is enough to say that I love these games and think they are totally worth the money. This instalment is longer than the first and also more intellectually challenging with a puzzle rather that just strait up 'get to the end'. Just buy it..Version: 1.1.4

Even better than the excellent sorcery 1As with the classic books, this sequel is actually a lot richer and more engaging than the (already great fun) first game. As well as being a more interesting and challenging setting, this episode introduces sophisticated new elements lime game-within-game gambling versus the shady citizens of Khare. Nevertheless, one should definitely play episode 1 guest in order to enjoy the overall epic quest. Note: I foolishly didn't realise that the "rewind" feature can take you ANY number of steps backwards. Very nice. Makes me remember the finger contortion of playing the book version and trying to keep track of multiple pages in order to jump back from a bad choice..Version: 1.2.1

Good, a few bugs...There are a couple bugs with the swindlestones minigame as the game crashing halfway though when pulling down the interaction page and not being able to see your dice, a bug with notes were you can't get rid of the note and have to stop playing for it to refresh. Other than that my only complaint is the option removal for example: you enter and mansion and you see a fountain and a small group of trees, if you go to the trees you can't go to the fountain, but if you go to the fountain you can go to the trees limiting exploration and encouraging replays. But the game is amazing and is a great price for hours of adventure and has amazing replay ability!.Version: 1.1.4

Spellbinding!More complex and satisfying than the first (still decent) instalment. This is a great piece of fantasy world building. Many hours of engaging adventuring..Version: 1.1.2

Wow!I loved the first game in this series, but this is where it gets really special. So many different routes to take, so many choices, so many more challenges. This game really ups the challenge level and it's unlikely you'll get the best ending on your first go, but you'll keep coming back and back for another try. You'll need to use your brain as well as your sword and your spell book. The addition of the dice game has made it even more addictive. Can't wait for the 3rd part!.Version: 1.2.1

This game has taken over my life...I haven't been able to put it down since I purchased it. If you love role play games and fantasy stories you will love this. Beautiful graphics and a fantastic story, I simply cannot describe how much I love this series..Version: 1.1.4

Just BrilliantKhare for me was the most difficult book and so the adaptation to an app was always going to be a challenge. I remember when the book was first released thinking how great it would be to have a game of the book. Inkle totally delivers. This app captures the essence of what Fighting Fantasy was all about- a book, a great story, choices, combat, spells and of course the original spellbinding illustrations. Whilst being completely faithful to the original book, Inkle have added a few extra twists and turns that only serve to enhance just how good the original book was. Sorcery is now a hugely immersive interactive experience and the best news is that the next book of four is already in development.....that's if you first survive the City Port of Traps! Loving it..Version: 1.0.1

Even better than Sorcery! 1Inkle did great a job converting Sorcery! 1 to an app, and they've done an even better one here. The changes from Steve Jackson's book are much greater this time around. I think most of his original text is still in there somewhere, but they've added a ton of new material, and moved some things around. It won't please purists, but it makes for a very enjoyable gamebook. The basic gameplay is the same as before. There is a new mini-game, Swindlestones, which is fun and challenging but completely optional. There is a lot of replayability in exploring every nook and cranny, plus it's neat to see what different options become available depending on how you played (honorable or selfish, cautious or headstrong, etc.). I can't wait for the next book!.Version: 1.1.2

Best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!If you like RPG, reading, great art work and a amazing story line get this game. I say for me it is the best game ever for IOS. P.S make the next game faster please ;).Version: 1.1.4

Exceptional!Amazing series, beautifully reimagined and so incredibly engaging! So happy to find this release!.Version: 1.3.3

More pleaseI'd like more dungeon crawling treasure hunting stories after these 4 games.Version: 1.3.2

Wonderful evolution of interactive fiction!As a long time lover of both exploring puzzle adventures (i.e. Myst, Riven, The Room, Drawn: the Painted Tower) and Interactive Fiction (IF) (Infocom's Zork and the Frotz' IF engine), I have struggled to find worthy contenders that have made the transition to the mobile app store (feel free to make suggestions!). Inkle has done an excellent job bringing Jackson's Fighting Fantasy books to the new millennium and the mobile app store. Sorcery 2 is even more immersive and 'classic IF' than it's predecessor, placing you in a more non-linear environment that requires you to wander around much more to solve the puzzles and reach your objectives. The many sub plots and side stories (which culminate in a climactic twistable ending) contribute to a greater immersive experience and preserves the feel and culture of IF but makes it fresh and vibrant once again. If you love any of the games I've mentioned above, then you won't be disappointed with Inkle's work with Steve Jackson's Sorcery 2 (or 1 or 3 for that matter).Version: 1.2.1

DA BESTIt's the best game ever especially the gambling building and I know a way to never lose any tokens all you have to do is rewind a little bit whenever you lose and you never even lost! I would recommend this game to anyone..Version: 1.3.2

Brilliant conversionAbout.. 10 years ago I wrote to Steve Jackson asking if I could do a IF game based on sorcery. He informed me a mobile company had bought the rights to the game (not inkle). I remember thinking no mobile game could do thus series justice. I was wrong. Brilliant second part to what promises to be a brilliant series. Part 4 should be uber massive.Version: 1.0.1

AwseomThis is amazing part 1 and 2 even though part 2 is really hard I still love it I played it for hours non stop even though it getting extremly hard!.Version: 1.0.1

Another great installmentAfter spending several hours forging some characters into how I see fit in the fantastic sorcery 1, I was ready to start my play through the second. What I expected was a fantastic game that would perfect every great thing from the first. What I got was what I thought plus double the gameplay of the original, an insanely fun side game called Swindlestones, and a brand new game that took my favorite parts of RPG games and CYOA books ( choose your own adventure books,) and became one of if not the best game on the App Store to date, with more content and replay ability than some console games have. Just trust me, you can't pass this game up..Version: 1.1.2

OutstandingProbably one of my most entertaining apps, glues you to your tablet/phone for hours giving a diverse selection of choices that change the story as you shape it your way! Where is part 3 inkle, it's late!.Version: 1.1.4

Brilliant sequel!I cannot wait for the next two to come out!.Version: 1.1.3

Great gameCan't wait for part 3..Version: 1.1.1

Amazing all togetherPlay all the sorcery games. They are amazing!!!.Version: 1.3.2

Very, very entertaining!Beautiful, atmospheric, enchanting and above all: entertaining! I am already looking forward to the next instalment. If you love choose your own adventure type games, this is one you CANNOT afford to miss!.Version: 1.1.3
