Phenomenal game

In this text-based RPG, you play as a combination firewall/fire elemental, protecting a few people and places from magical and technological threats. If you're like me, that's enough to try it out, and if you do you won't be disappointed.
It's short-ish and linear, but there are so many things to learn and try it has good replayability. I'm very looking forward to Open Sorcery 2.

Fun game with some save bugs

This game is really fun and has a large variety of different paths one can take, which provides a lot of replay value. However, the save and achievement systems are completely broken. Every time I restart the app, all my saves are missing, and when I try to save on slot 5, it reloads slot 4 instead. Achievements disappear when I restart the app too. When these issues are addressed, this will be a five star game. As it stands, you need to play all the way through in one sitting.

Creative Gem!

Just when you start to think the App Store has become a boring morass of freemium clones, along comes a blinding original, brilliant game like Open Sorcery. The setting is fantastically crafted, the characters are compelling and the story is fascinating. The prose ranges from hilarious to philosophical to emotionally riveting while retaining a singular voice. But don't think Open Sorcery isn't interactive - the strategy/gameplay elements work beautifully. Thought provoking, distinctive, amazingly fun...can't recommend it enough!

Wonderful story

I saw Open Sorcery at PAX and marked it on my "play later" list. I wish I'd picked it up sooner! I just stayed up way too late to finish it. Worth every penny.

Utterly captivating

I cannot recommend this enough. The writing is evocative, the story is engrossing, and I couldn't stop thinking about it for days after playing through a couple of times.
This update also fixes the lag that made the 1st version frustrating towards the end, so it's well-deserving of a 5⭐️ rating.

Fantastic and Unique

Saw this game at PAX West this year and after playing it I just have to say it's simply fantastic. The concept is unique and well implemented, and there's an amazing emotional depth that is quite surprising for a text based game. Very replay-able too! Amazing work.

Fantastic

It's a nice short story game with real emotional weight to it. I care about every character. The story is rich and there is a lot of replay value. The only app I've bought that was actually worth the 3 bucks I spent on it.
