Evaluation

Sorcery! Parts 1 and 2 is a self-contained release covering the first half of the four-part Sorcery! series. The store description notes that Parts 3 and 4 are separate games on Steam, and both of those have since been released (Part 3 launched April 5, 2016 per NEWS-4, and Part 4 launched later in 2016). The final notable update to this specific game was the addition of New Game Plus mode on December 21, 2016, which was unlocked by completing Part 4 and added extra secrets and difficulty options. Since then, inkle has moved on to entirely new projects — Heaven's Vault (announced March 2019) and Pendragon (announced April 2020) — with no further updates or content announcements for Sorcery! Parts 1 and 2. The game launched as the first installment in a series, and all subsequent parts in that series have shipped. There is no announced future content for this title.

About this game

An epic adventure in a land of monsters, traps and magic. Journey across the deadly Shamutanti Hills and through the Cityport of Kharé, home to thieves, corrupt nobles and deadly mutants, as you attempt to recover the Crown of Kings. Armed with your sword, and over fifty spells with weird and wonderful effects, embark on a journey of a thousand choices where every one is remembered and will change your story. This is Parts 1 and 2 of a four-part series.

As played by the Yogscast, Sorcery! is a narrative adventure like no other, that creates your own unique fantasy adventure as you play.

* Explore a 3d hand-drawn map, and venture inside the buildings of the city of Kharé
* Unique bluff-and-strike based combat system which procedurally narrates your battles
* Over fifty weird and wonderful spells, whose effects alter the narrative in wild and unpredictable ways
* Over half a million words of story content that adapts around your choices - created using the same inklewriter technology as the multi-award-winning 80 DAYS
* Hundreds of characters, hundreds of stories to uncover
* Over forty unique monsters to fight, all with their own strategies and combat styles
* Play Swindlestones, a game of cunning and deceit, against the citizens of Kharé, for profit - and for information
* Freedom to explore - rewind whatever choices you want
* Based on the million-selling series by Steve Jackson
* All of your choices are remembered, shaping your adventure now - and in the future

Sorcery! Parts 1 and 2 are the first half of an epic quadrilogy. Sorcery! 3 takes the adventure to the wilds of the Baklands and creates a fully open-world experience, and will be out shortly on Steam. Sorcery! 4 is due later this year, to finish the adventure. Each part can be played on its own, or you can load your character from one part to the next, carrying over equipment, stats, and narrative choices.
