Anyone else played this? It is lush - very well done, immersive, beautiful. Maybe a bit too easy (can't remember if that's the same with the book; possibly also coz I remember quite a lot from the book), but this is definitely one where the fun is in the taking part. I haven't explored all the possibilities in this one yet, but I'm thoroughly looking forward to Khare. Also waiting for the Android releases so I don't have to play on a tiny Ipod Touch screen.

Sorcery! 2 out today. From the trailer, it looks fantastic. If it's half as good as the first one, it will be, and by the looks of things it is MUCH bigger. Shall be buying it this evening (I'll get no work done today if I buy it now!).

Downloaded it this morning (NZ time!) and gave it a whirl with the class I was teaching today (we got as far as inside the gates of the city in 10 minutes of play). |

I got about as far in the same time. They really have gone to town fleshing it out (of course, the result is excellent, but rather different than Khare from the book). |

Don't have anything to play it on, otherwise I would, it looks superb.

It's quite amazing, really. Yes, very nice. It doesn't fit with my observations about the geography of the city as described and illustrated in the book, but I don't mind - it's a nice alternative version of the city. |

I've really enjoyed playing (and replaying) through Sorcery! 1 and 2. I'm guessing 3 should be just around the corner now!
Aside from the beautiful maps, I wish they would have kept the art style closer to the traditionally inked illustrations in the books rather than the "digitally inked" look for the extra artwork required for the characters and creatures. I can see how asking another artist to more closely imitate the style of the book could be an issue but it lost a little of the consistency and that slightly bothered me, it would've been even more of a tribute to the original work had they done that.
I'm really looking forward to heading out into the baklands!

It's very easy, just bear in mind that enemies that are animals have no sense of combat strategy so will attack full power straight away and waster their energy, so defend at first.
Flanker is the toughest inevitable opponent in episode one. He may set his stance on defend for at least the first three rounds, but at some point he will attack with full force and after that it is necessary to attack him with a stronger attack than he will have the energy to match.

Thanks for that, Jon! I've completed it but I didn't explore much, and I think there's a better path to be found. I'll bare your advice in mind when I get back to it. |

Just finished this. Absolutely beautiful! Had some difficulties though - has anyone else got to the end? Did you love the familiarity? Or the differences that made it a new adventure?

I love the adaptation, BUT 3 and 4 are too much.
1 and 2 are excellent, with 2 in particular evolving the original alot more while still keeping the basic plot.
BUT the open worldness of 3 is not in keeping with the general movement of the books, as you can just wander around for ages with no idea what to do, and 4 having the rewind take away was just mean, and not what a lot of players wanted from the experience (imo).
It's a shame but 1 and 2 were so good we can forgive Inkle I think.
