Sorcery 4 out now.JPG

Touch Arcade reports that the long-awaited fourth and final episode in Steve Jackson’s epic Sorcery! series has finally arrived in the App Store, entitled “The Crown of Kings.” If you’ve already played Parts 1 through 3 then you’ll be all too aware that your decisions and choices in those previous episodes will have an impact on Part 4. However, you don’t actually have to have played the first three games to enjoy The Crown of Kings, although you’ll probably want to go back and play them after you play this one.

Inkle’s critically acclaimed adaptation of Steve Jackson’s original 1983 gamebook series brings the adventure right up to date, and concludes the interactive novel. As the story continues in Sorcery! 4, you’re trying to obtain the stolen Crown of Kings from the Archmage in the Forest of Mampang, high up in the mountains. With little more than your sword and your spellbook to aid you, you must break into the Citadel and sneak through the city to confront the Archmage. As ever in the series, the choices that you make ensure that every Sorcery! playthrough is intensely personal and unique. Here’s a list of some of the game’s key features:

  • A full tutorial gets new players situated while suitable difficulty challenges those continuing an adventure.
  • Over forty magical traps await your unique, cunning, and devilish solutions.
  • Disguises will allow you to slip around unnoticed, but be warned, some people you meet won't like who you're pretending to be!
  • Multifaceted supporting characters can be befriended, betrayed, manipulated... and even seduced.
  • Past choices and old friends will come back to help - or haunt - as you look for a way in to the Archmage's impenetrable Citadel.
  • Stunning new cartography, hand-drawn by illustrator Mike Schley, includes 3D buildings that can be explored inside and out.
  • A plethora of possible endings are in store - both triumphant and tragic.
There’s a reason why Apple made this one of its “New Games We Love” this week.
