Reveal A Tale Of Sorcery! With New iDevice App
May 3, 2013 by brennon
Steve Jackson's Sorcery! has hit iDevices and it looks like it could be a perfect time sink for when you're on the train or simply just taking a break. Make a few choices while you're eating lunch!
The game plays just as you would imagine a Choose Your Own Adventure would, where you make choices and fight monsters across an unfolding story that could lead to your doom at any moment! Maybe that's just the experiences from Deathtrap Dungeon talking.
- Plot your own journey across a hand-drawn 3D world map
- Fully interactive story, with 1000s of choices
- The story is rewritten on the fly based on how you play
- Unique touch-based sword-duelling, with procedurally-generated descriptions of the action
- Outwit monsters by learning their weaknesses and tells
- 48 magic spells to master, with weird and wonderful effects that change the story
The art style is beautifully hand drawn and echoes the old school feel of a Fighting Fantasy novel. All the monsters have an eerie edge to them which makes taking that next step in the story all the more daring.
Watch the trailer for the game above and see what you think. Will you be casting spells and wandering the land in Sorcery!?
Let me know folks.
Another Apple only game 🙁 Android never gets any love when it comes down to digitalised board games (barring Small World 2, YAYYYYY!!!).
Hopefully one day, designers will realise that there are a hell of a lot of people out there who own Android phones/tablets and would love to play things like this.
Apple only…. BARFFFFF!!!!!
Pretty much all the comments on an Kotaku review for it were asking for an Android version too.
This takes me back…
I’m eager to know the “ercatures” they’re speaking of 😉
