Sorcery! 3

Sorcery! 3, released on PC, AND and iOS, is a paragraph game maintained in fantasy climates. It was developed by inkle Ltd, the authors of the two previous games from the series. The title doesn't have any microtransactions.

Plot

The campaign offers the option of loading the saved game data from the two previous entries, but Sorcery! 3 focuses on a new adventure, so knowledge of the previous parts is not required. This time, the action takes us to the inhospitable land of Kakhabad. It consists of city ruins, large desert areas, dark forests, and dangerous mountains. Our task is to go through this territory - this is the only way we can get to the main destination, the city of Mampang, where the artifact known as the Crown of Kings is hidden. The expedition is hindered by the presence of five snake lords on the route, who will not rest until we are dead.

Mechanics

Sorcery! 3 continues the traditions of its predecessors and offers a much more interactive approach to paragraphic games than most of the productions of this genre. The narration is done through text, but at the same time, the game constantly provides illustrations showing encounters with characters, fights or locations we explore during the journey. Players are given the opportunity to make choices every now and then, both during the clashes and while avoiding traps, as well as when making decisions that are crucial to the further development of the plot. Practically all the buildings we come across are open to us, we can talk extensively with several dozen characters or visit an inn in order to try our luck in one of the available gambling games. The authors didn't forget about the development system where we can spend experience points on improving character statistics and purchase new skills.

Technical aspects

The graphics of Sorcery! 3 are another thing that makes the game stand out from the typical paragraphic titles. All locations are richly illustrated and the creators focused on an interesting visual style, where 3D locations are overlaid with hand-drawn textures. In addition, battles are fully animated and we can observe every attack and spell, which makes the battles look like a traditional RPG.
