DHGF: Several staffers here at Diehard GameFAN are fans of the Fighting Fantasy gamebook series. These solo tabletop gaming adventures never fail to provide many a roleplayer with warm nostalgia. Some books like The Warlock of Firetop Mountain and Talisman of Death have even been made into video games. Now UK developer Inkle has adapted the Sorcery! series into video game form –specifically for iOS systems. Each of the four books is being digitized and turned into an interactive novel adventure. The first, The Samuntanti Hills has just been released and here are my ten quick thoughts on the experience.
The interactive fiction of steve Jackson returns in Steve Jackson's Sorcery! We delve into the narrative adventure for our review.
Neil writes: "Previously having rocked up on the App Store, Steve Jackson's Sorcery! is now available to purchase and play on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch, as the inkle development team combine forces with No Gravity Games, in order to hit the gaming masses."
Tom @ FG: Inkle's adaptation of a Choose Your Own Adventure classic Sorcery! is an excellent, ambitious RPG with a couple of caveats.
