Evaluation
Choice of Rebels: Uprising is a text-based interactive fiction game published by Choice of Games, released on November 9, 2017. The store description presents it as a complete, standalone 637,000-word interactive novel — a fully self-contained story about leading a rebellion against a fantasy empire. There are no DLC listings, no season passes, no roadmaps, and no developer communications announcing future content updates or expansions for this title. The game appears to have launched as a finished product with no post-launch content cycle. It is worth noting that the title "Uprising" and its framing as the first chapter of a larger saga may suggest sequels are planned as separate products — but no follow-up content tied to this specific Steam listing has been announced or released. As a complete interactive novel, this game is finished as shipped.

About this game
Lead the revolt against a bloodthirsty empire! You grew up under the iron fist of the Hegemony. Now is your chance to end their blood-fueled magic, as you forge a ragtag outlaw band into a rebel army.
Choice of Rebels: Uprising is a 637,000 word interactive fantasy novel by Joel Havenstone, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
As an outlaw rebel in the greenwood wilderness, you must steal to survive your first brutal winter, or watch your people starve if you can't feed them. Win yeomen, helots, merchants, priests, and aristocrats over to the rebel cause...or turn them into your worst enemies. Will you defeat the army of the Hegemony’s Archon and the elite force of evil blood mages sent to destroy you, or will a personal betrayal put an end to your rebellion when it’s just barely begun?
Will you gain a reputation as a compassionate idealist or ruthless insurgent? Can your rebels survive the winter and a vengeful army?
How much will you sacrifice to rebel, and save your homeland from an oppressive empire?
