"Beautifully realised ... this gripping tale has us well and truly hooked" -- Pocket Gamer (Gold Award)
"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 it" - Just Press Start
Featuring original illustrations by John Blanche, character art by Eddie Sharam (DC Comics), and an interactive map by Mike Schley (Wizards of the Coast).

Okay, this is by far one of the best story-based app games I've ever played! It's up there with the Evertree Saga in terms of writing (minus romance options) but has more focus on adventure/exploration. The spellcasting in this game is done in a really cool, sandbox kind of way, so how you fight your battles is really up to you and there's many different paths to take/choices to make. A lot of fun to explore all options with rewind feature, the spirit guide is a neat feature too. Big recommend!

Excellent adaptation. I would say this is easily the best the Choose Your Own Adventure series has ever been adapted to a video game. Played before on PC, and decided to replay on mobile - didn't regret it one bit. If you're on the fence I'd highly recommend giving this a go. It's more of a prologue to Part 2 for me, as Part 2 is much more substantial, but still a hell of a lot of fun.

Such a great concept and execution. The mechanics are pretty great, though I personally wish the spellbook was easier to navigate and the spellcasting ui a bit more concise. The only major turn-off, like others have said, is the length being short, but given the detail and breadth the game has, it is still possibly worth it (and a necessary get if you have Play Pass). I also wish you could maybe do some kind of character customization, or there were character stats you could reflect upon.

I have played both Sorcery! + Socery! 2 and am obsessed. This game is like a choose your own adventure book with a basic combat system thrown in. The graphics are gorgeous and the immersive storyline will suck you in quickly. The only reason I gave this one 4 stars is because it's rather short, especially compared to the 2nd chapter. I played it for free via playpass but I might have been disappointed if I'd paid $5.99, although it does have decent replayability

This is the first instalment of 4 and I, like other players, was disappointed at how short the first one was. However, your game save carries into the next instalments, which are very long and very replayable. I highly recommend this game - the quality is unmatched by any android game I've played. I suggest buying this along with Sorcery 2, 3 and 4. Each instalment improves vastly on the previous one and each game is beautifully designed. I like how this RPG doesn't hold your hand at all - lots of exploration!

A good introduction to see if you like the sorcery games. The game is a little short, but extremely replayable with so many different choices and outcomes. The other games are longer and you can bring your leveled character from this game to the 2nd. I highly recommend see if you like it. If you do get the following games aswell for an epic experience!

Choose your own adventure game with tons of choices. My playthrough was a bit short though, and although there are more choices I could rewind to do, I just don't feel like rerunning it, although I could. However, the second game fixes all this and practically makes you rerun it a few times for extra loot and lore. Start with this one, if you're hooked, play the next games. They build upon the same concept, with even better story mechanics.

Definitely enjoyable, but I wish it was a little clearer that this is only Book 1. The description says "Four chapters" and got me thinking it was all four parts, when it's just the beginning and the description is for the entire series as a whole. Even changing the title to "Sorcery: Book 1" or similar would help avoid some of the confusion there, otherwise it comes across as a way to trick people into spending more.
