So, so good. Start with part one & get ready to lose days of your life.
Wonderful evolution of interactive fiction!

As a long time lover of both exploring puzzle adventures (i.e. Myst, Riven, The Room, Drawn: the Painted Tower) and Interactive Fiction (IF) (Infocom's Zork and the Frotz' IF engine), I have struggled to find worthy contenders that have made the transition to the mobile app store (feel free to make suggestions!). Inkle has done an excellent job bringing Jackson's Fighting Fantasy books to the new millennium and the mobile app store. Sorcery 2 is even more immersive and 'classic IF' than it's predecessor, placing you in a more non-linear environment that requires you to wander around much more to solve the puzzles and reach your objectives. The many sub plots and side stories (which culminate in a climactic twistable ending) contribute to a greater immersive experience and preserves the feel and culture of IF but makes it fresh and vibrant once again. If you love any of the games I've mentioned above, then you won't be disappointed with Inkle's work with Steve Jackson's Sorcery 2 (or 1 or 3 for that matter)
When I thought it couldn't get any better ...

... it does. This game is an example of how apps should be made. Absolutely beautiful. Captivating. And to top it off, this game has a great deal more replay value than the first game in the series. Well done.
1985 called, it want's it's game back...

This game is so bad, I paid for Wi-Fi access on my flight just to write this review... Total piece of garbage. Text based adventure from 1985 where the "choices" make no difference- you lose your food, lose your health and die. Animation and graphics look like South Park circa 1998. The magic system is so obtuse, you have to call up this inventory to try and figure out the three digit code for the spell (more like a password)- except you can't cast spells because this little Elf tags along with you and prevents you from casting spells (what a great idea!). Steve Jackson made some OK games back in the 80's but they were always uninspired grinds, good to see that nothing's changed. I bought the adventure pack, played through part of the first Sorcery!, deleted it, and deleted Sorcery! 2 without even trying it. It's games like this that remind me why the Freemium model exists.
Best money i've spent on the app store!

I don't understand how this can have any reviews below 5 stars, the Sorcery! trilogy is a masterpiece! Worth every penny and then some!
Great! Better than the first one.

This is a really fun game. It is the more the urn version of a choose your own adventure book that also has a fighting system. It's well written and has beautiful art. I also founded it to be very interactive. This second game in the trilogy is way longer than the first one. It has good replayability value and is more fun. If you like choose your own adventure games I highly recommend it.
