Interesting mechanics, new story – Ambar's Fate Review

The digital gamebook genre has really taken off on ios,from choose your own adventure games to modern spins on old classics.Ambar's fate is one of the few that both features a new story (not rehashed from a classic gamebook) and deeper gameplay mechanics than are found in physical gamebooks.You can choose from 2 classes,which completely changes the approach you will take while playing.There are stats and skills,which can open or closes different paths of progress.One of the most interesting is Perception-a high perception stat can open up new avenues to explore,with the skill system determining whether you can follow these new story threads.Graphically,the game is all text, but beautifully presented.The only reasons I haven't given this 5 stars is that the combat can be a bit difficult to grasp (it's explained, but a bit hard to figure out for the math-averse,like me),and a fair number of typos.If you enjoy digital gamebooks and want a fresh story instead of a rehash,this is a great pickup.
