PRAISE FOR PART 3
"This is spectacular, a brave and fascinating evolution of what can only just be described as “interactive fiction” at this point. A bold step away from the confines of the source material, and a coherent and completely novel experience."
- Rock Paper Shotgun
"Sorcery! 3 is unlike anything you’ve ever played. Its mix of puzzle-solving, combat, and choose-your-own-adventure stylings have created a unique form of entertainment that I cannot wait to get back into"
- Pocket Tactics, 5/5
"[One] of 2015’s best iPhone games", TIME magazine
"This chapter of Sorcery! 3 does a fantastic job of keeping things dynamic and interesting, and better yet, its new puzzle-like aspect gives it the kind of magical, surprise-filled, combat-related fun fantasy fans live for."
- Examiner.com, 5/5
THE STORY
The Crown of Kings has been stolen by the Archmage, and he intends to use it to decimate the Old World. You have been sent, alone, to break into the Citadel of Mampang and get it back. Armed with only a sword, a book of spells, and your wits, you must journey through the mountains, into the Fortress, and locate the Archmage himself. If you are discovered, it will mean certain death
- but sometimes even death can be overcome...

This could be a great ending UNLESS you catch incurable Trembling Sickness at the start, in which case the entire rest of the game becomes an unpleasant ordeal. It's way harder, and you can't rewind, so you have to play it safe, and end up using walkthroughs because you can't afford to take chances. It's a game breaking design decision and made me hate a series I otherwise loved. My advice: if at any point it says you have Trembling Sickness, just restart the game. You will not have a good time.
Just an awesome series of games. The option to buy them all together would be great, as you will want to play them all as soon as you finish the first. SORCERY 4 throws in a surprise twist mechanic near the beginning, which helps it stand out and above the previous games in the series. I just wanted it to go on forever, great job Inkle!
I have yet to defeat this game. It proves a great challenge. Removing the rewind function makes it a much higher stakes game, but I wish there was an option to ignore that. a fun part is that you can explore. Small stuff like eating the mushroom in the 3rd and tripping out before rewinding is fun.
Terrific way to end a series. As expected, there are multiple ways to finish the story on several layers. Plus, mexhanics that were hinted at in earlier chapters take center stage in the climax. Awesome series.
Hands down one of the best game series in its genre. I still haven't finished the fourth one because there are so many possibilities for play. The world they've created is filled with enjoyable fantasy and interesting characters. I'm a huge fantasy nerd and I give this entire series a 12/10.
Catching the Tremblimg Sickness made this a nightmare to play. It was frustrating at every turn and added nothing to the overall experience. Just about ruined the overall experience of such a great series.
Interesting tale, well told. Tho not exactly open world, easy gameplay & interesting options. Look forward to Sorcery 5
One of the best and most difficult of the four. Truly tests your wits in the end. Has multiple endings. Definitely worth it so long as you willing to put the time into it.
An excellent conclusion to a fantastic storyline. Don't let the absence of no rewind discourage you; on the contrary there are many fun twists that come with this game mechanic.
A lovely conclusion to the series. I've enjoyed several playthroughs of this and I really wish subsequent books were written because I'm so addicted but there's really nothing else like this out there. 😭
Great game, loved the original books and this is a really good adaption. Very good end to the Sorcery series with a great twist on the tale.
Incredible game with an amazing story. Truly an icon of it's time.
Really says a lot about a series when the weakest entry is still an incredible game
Not got 2 this 1 yet, but I will! Very fun& entertaining stories! I'm on 2nd book now. Love them!
Very sad . Non of the 4 will play on my Samsung Galaxy Veiw tablet . They all just tell me unknown error .
One of the best role playing games in the market. Very easy to learn, and play.
A great finale to a great series! Excellent writing
I think about the ending to this game all the time and replay it for that alone
The Sorcery series __THE BEST text adventure game ever created__period.
Fantastic, great storyline, imaginatively executed .
Amazing game, truly one of a kind
Very good but challenging!
This last book is DAMMED ANNOYING AND TOTALLY UNLIKE THE THRILL OF THE BOOK!!!!!
I want to see what tis does for the good.
Great exploration game, one of the best I ever played! It has great replay value, intelligent puzzles, many different choices, 3 optional companions and more. I got totally obsessed with it while playing! I gotta say that it's more challenging than the first three without the usual rewind feature but discovering the solutions to puzzles felt more rewarding that way.
