What kind of mage will you be?
Reviews
Fun, light-hearted romp
Magic Kingdom Zeal
Good interface, reasonably clear choices, cute romances, and a... surprise at the end that I particularly liked. Only complaint is that, while the choices did make some difference to the narration, there was little room for divergence. The romances were the significant options. I'd have liked my element/weapon choice to make a bit more difference to my choices. I'm also not sure what difference Corruption made. Nonetheless, these issues are common to most Choices of Games, and this was cleverer than most (in a surprisingly meta way). Highly recommended.
Let’s not be picky

Many people complain about the nit picky things in stories and ends up making the story seem worse than it really is. The story is great and if you’re not into what the author is selling, then try another! All I’m saying is, this is definitely one of the better stories in choice of games, even if other people claim it to be worse off than it really is.
Just wow

Seriously, this is very well written. It draws you in, in a manner that I had not expected. Well worth the buy. I’ll be checking out their other games
A heartwarming yet flawed tale
Pikachu203
The story has an interesting premise and concept, but sloppy execution both from a gameplay and story side. The story itself, while intriguing, does not give any proper hints or foreshadowing to the shocker at the end, which is very shamilanesque. There are several bits of foreshadowing that are limited in scale and understanding, and while they can offer you a bit of information, they needed to be refined. The humor is what will ruin the emersion and ruin suspension of disbelief. The humor is rather juvenile throughout, which would be fine if it did not make modern references and use current slang so frequently. These jokes work to date the game and frustrate anyone attempting to become invested in the plot or characters. It simply ruins the illusion of a medieval world. This also refers to the narrator's tone. Perhaps if it was not so modernized it would have fit better, or perhaps it would have fit better in a modern fantasy. However, even in a modern tale, the humor would date the work. The characters are all right. I won't spoil too much, but you have three main romantic interests(though I honestly wish one of them had more time in the story), and an overall dynamic cast of characters. Some are more interesting than others, and overall they will be useful to your goals regardless. In addition, some aspects of the game - which initially appear creative - are not original in the slightest. The entire concept for the eradication of magic in the human population through the "War of the Magi" is ripped straight from Final Fantasy VI. I do not know if the writer knew of these similarities, but once again they serve to break realism and make the player who knows of these tales will be frustrated by this. Where this game shines is through emotion. There are moments, such as Aphid's moment of passing or the initial movement which forced the player away from home, which are masterful and emotional. These moments are the writer's strongest points, and I would recommend they focus on these in the future above humor. Moving on to gameplay, it is also decent. The stats and choices allow the player to customize their Mage how they wish, and it is generally easy to create a balanced character. However, the game only has this dynamic character for its initial stages, for after the first major turning point of the game, stats are checked to ensure the player has the skill to do tasks, but do not grow or change. The only exceptions are renown and corruption, though they are not the most important aspects of your character. I understand why this choice was made, but it forces the player to make certain choices and does not allow their character room to grow and change over the course of the novel, ruining their dynamic nature. Overall, it is an okay game. It has shinning moments and a decent gameplay system. If you can stand the juvenile and modern humor, I would recommend it for a free weekend.

I absolutely loved this game. Greatly recommended.

It's an amazing game, extremely well written and very funny. I was a bit upset when I finished it, I didn't want it to end, I loved it so much. So many ways to end and things to choose from. I loved the way it added little hints of modern things, just adding something special. I was a bit curious about the beginning because I tried over and over to avoid getting 30% corruption but I couldn't do it, although its great that they have options to lower your corruption, if you choose the right thing. I was really into it, I hated it when I had to put my phone up for class XD. I really suggest you download it.
The best
Banana_King77
I've been a big fan of COG games but this is easily the best and I've supported it since the begging as a WiP and gladly paid the $3 for an absolutely amazing story. Loved the characters and humor, only critique I had was it lost it's abundance of options after the demo ended and that was part of it's greatness.
Words can't describe how I feel after beating this
HiddenWolf23
I got this after beating Zombie Exodus (An amazing Hosted Game by the way) and it may be because that game was amazing or this game was just...strange but I guess I could say I'm disappointed.
Amazing story and romance
