About Sorcery!

An epic adventure in a land of monsters, traps and magic. "You should choose to own this adventure" -- Eurogamer "Inkle's adaptation of Sorcery! takes the genre to a whole new level" -- Kotaku Based on the million-selling Fighting Fantasy series by legendary designer Steve Jackson, Sorcery! is an interactive adventure spanning four chapters and an entire world of traps, monsters, magic and mayhem. Cast spells with wild and weird consequences. Take risks. Gamble with goblins. Explore caves, mines, and treacherous cities. Survive, if you can..! * Your own story: thousands of choices, all of which are remembered * Forge your own path across a hand-drawn map * Unique combat system based on bluff and deception * From the creators of 80 DAYS, TIME magazine's Game of the Year 2014 "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).

What Sorcery! Is Used For

Sorcery! appears to be a story-driven role-playing game for phones, centered on interactive fantasy adventure rather than fast action. Based on the metadata, players move through a branching narrative across multiple chapters, making choices that affect how the story unfolds and what outcomes are remembered. It seems designed for people who enjoy reading, exploration, and decision-based gameplay in a fantasy setting.

The app may be used to explore a hand-drawn world filled with traps, monsters, cities, caves, and magic. The description also points to a spell-casting system and combat that relies on bluff and deception, which suggests a tactical approach instead of simple button-mashing. Permissions such as internet access, storage access, and network state may support downloading content, saving progress, or handling game data, while location-related permissions are listed in the metadata and may be part of app functionality, though the exact reason is not stated. As a phone app, it appears suited to short play sessions as well as longer story sessions on a mobile device.

Common uses

  • Play an interactive fantasy story with branching choices.

  • Use strategic combat that appears to rely on bluffing and deception.
  • Continue through a multi-chapter role-playing narrative on a phone.
