The fourth (and, according to its creators, final) entry in the warmly-welcomed adventure RPG series from inkle based on Sorcery!, a popular gamebook from 1983. Like the three previous titles, Sorcery! 4 offers a completely new story, so knowledge of the earlier games isn’t necessary to play. Once again, we can create a completely new character or import our old hero from the previous parts of the series. The gameplay of Sorcery!

Sorcery! 4 for AND, PC and iOS devices, is the next installment of the popular series of video games from the inkle studio, also known for its adventure game titled 80 Days. The production is an adaptation of the famous Sorcery! from 1983, created by Steve Jackson and the cartoonist John Blanche. Unlike the previous parts, the fourth installment was immediately released both on mobile devices and personal computers. Earlier versions of the cycle appeared on smartphones and tablets first and were only ported to PCs after some time (in the case of the first game, after almost three years). According to the developers, Sorcery! 4 is the final installment of the series.

Mechanics

Sorcery! 4 has been designed in such a way that the knowledge of the previous parts of the cycle is not necessary to enjoy the fourth game. Of course, players can import previously used characters, but they can also start the adventure with this series from the fourth part.

The gameplay in Sorcery! 4 for AND, PC, and iOS devices, just like in the case of its predecessors, is mainly based on the exploration of numerous locations and on reading. It is in this way that the players get to know the heroes of the adventure and the world around them. The game is, however, not linear, and it changes depending on the decisions we make. Gameplay is complemented by a character development system and quite challenging combat.
