"Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time writing a review when I should really just be pointing at a game and demanding that people play it. This is one of those times. Steve Jackson's Sorcery! is an absolutely marvellous fantasy storybook adventure. Lushly illustrated and expertly told, it should not be missed by anyone even remotely interested in the genre." -- Gamezebo
"Let’s not mince words here... Sorcery’s unique blend of tabletop-like roleplaying (including an incredible combat system quite unlike anything I’ve seen before), and elaborate branching pathways with custom scripts preserving the feeling of Steve Jackson’s work make me now want to… no, HAVE TO acquire an iOS device" - Just Press Start
From legendary designer Steve Jackson, co-founder of Lionhead Studios (with Peter Molyneux), and Fighting Fantasy and Games Workshop (with Ian Livingstone); and inkle, the studio behind the award-winning, App Store featured Frankenstein, Sorcery! is an interactive adventure like never before.
The app uses inklewriter technology to tell your journey in real-time, shaping the story around your choices. The text itself changes based on how you play and what you do, and in combat, the action is description on the fly based on how you play.
Featuring original illustrations by John Blanche, new character art by Eddie Sharam (DC Comics), an interactive map by Mike Schley (Wizards of the Coast) and music by David Wise (Donkey Kong Country).
"The Shamutanti Hills" is Part 1 of 4. Part 2, "Kharé: Cityport of Traps", is out now, and will load all of your completed Part 1 games to continue your adventure. Part 3 is coming later this year (but while you wait, check out our new game, 80 DAYS).

Super fun choose your own adventure
I had never played this type of game before and I went out on a limb trying it out by buying the first game. After finishing the first Immediately bought the rest ( when you buy the rest of the games it still gives you the bundle discount, very nice ). You will start out figuring out how the fighting works, very nice simple mechanics, nothing fancy. The true essence of this game is making decisions and dealing with them, sometimes for the better and annoyingly for the worst. For most of the game you can go back if you want to see how the outcome would have turned out doing something completely different, but you quickly notice that sometimes by just having a particular item at a particular time of day can change something completely. So many choices that it would be very difficult to go back and play the game exactly the same. Two people playing would have two completely different outcomes and endings. Long story short this game was awesome, epic, sometimes super funny, and at times very difficult making me really strain and think about what I had to do next, constantly managing the risks. Super good job inkle. I want more!
Does not recapture the magic of the books
I 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.
Amazing!
One of the best game I’ve ever played on IOS!
