Customer Reviews
Great fun!
I have always wanted to play pen and paper dungeons n dragons, but until now have never had the patience. while this game may not be as deep as D&D, it is like having a personal dungeon master, who is elequent and keeps track of all your stats. would be a 5 star had it not crashed a few times. Luckily there was no data loss, but please fix. (for anyone wondering how severe the bug is. it crashed twice during a 1 1/2 - 2 hour session. but please buy now to ensure an update.)
A solid take on a classic
Warlock is one of the best (and toughest) of the Fighting Fantasy series, so this was a good place to start -- the game will bring you back to the days when you could spend hours flipping through these adventure books. The implementation here is solid, though the combat resolution should be WAY faster as it's currently slower than rolling real dice! Slowly adding the dice rolls and showing the math calculation is overkill and frustrating here. Also, the illustrations are a too small to appreciate, and the game does crash occasionally. Still, the heart of the game is its old-school writing, and the developers get bonus points for allowing you to adjust the text size and font, and go back and forth in the book. If you're a fan of the series, pick this one up (and hope an update comes soon!)
Help
I love these CYOA games, and have been waiting for a good one or my iPhone, and this is pretty much it. I have one problem though, the app crashes whenever I have to roll to use my shield?
