Product Description

An epic adventure through a land of monsters, traps, and magic.

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.

Praise for the iOS edition:

"You should choose to own this adventure" -- Eurogamer

"Inkle's adaptation of Sorcery! takes the genre to a whole new level" -- Kotaku

"This is some of 2013′s best interactive storytelling" -- IGN UK

"Beautifully realised ... this gripping tale has us well and truly hooked" -- Pocket Gamer (Gold Award)

"Incredibly impressed" -- Touch Arcade

"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

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 described 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).

"The Shamutanti Hills" is Part 1 of 4. Part 2, "Kharé: Cityport of Traps", is coming soon to the Kindle Store! (Part 2 will load all of your completed Part 1 games to continue your adventure.)

Fantastic app. Sorcery is a really fun and addictive adventure game with excitement around every corner. It is humorous at times and tense at times. Recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding! 29 Mar 2014

I love this app it's just like the books, I would really recommend getting it. Been waiting forever for I to come out on kindle and finally it has! Great little game and when people say it's 'Too short' it's not it took me 3 days to complete so if you want a "Pick your Path" themed app you defiantly should get this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic book transfered to Kindle 26 Mar 2014
By G.F.

Great for children and adults alike. I'd recommend this to this anybody and if you see it come up as a free app then certainly grab it.

If you have read/play any of the fighting fantasy books by Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson and enjoyed them then you will like this. This is actually the Sorcery book converted to app which works really nicely. I read/play the book back in the 80's and enjoyed it though I found it to be a bit on the short side. Same for this app which is why I've given in 4 stars. If it had been cheaper or free then it would have got 5 stars! Also we are waiting for the next 3 books to hit kindle. I would have preferred they had combined the 4 books into one app, but that's just me. Anyway, it's a nice game and it's great to play a bit of nostalgia for an oldie like me, but it's also good for children. Makes a person actually read rather than just tapping a screen mindlessly.

A wonderful adaptation of the Steve Jackson choose your own adventure book. I've been waiting ages for this game to come to Kindle and it's well worth �3.00. Can't wait for part 2.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good
But it's very short. I completed it in just over one hour. The magic system although good leaves quite a bit to be desired and will need further development for part two. Read more
