The games are text-based fantasy quests based on Steve Jackson's choose-your-own-adventure novels, and incorporate visual and interactive elements not present in the gamebooks.[1][2] They also contain expanded content vis-à-vis the original gamebooks - the first entry, The Shamutanti Hills, featuring the fewest such expansions; the last The Crown of Kings, the most. Additions include a different combat mechanic that includes turn-by-turn energy, the inclusion of your spirit animal, and spelling out names of spells from a star sky.[3] The third entry, The Seven Serpents, significantly expands the adventure by adding a whole new layer where the map is explored in two intertwined time lines.[citation needed]
Release[edit]
The first entry Sorcery!: The Shamutanti Hills was released by Inkle in May 2013 on the iOS App Store[4] and was a 'Game of the Year' finalist for TouchArcade,[5]Mashable,[6] and Gamezebo.[7] The subsequent iOS releases were Sorcery! 2: Kharé - The Cityport of Traps in October 2013, Sorcery! 3: The Seven Serpents in April 2015, and Sorcery! 4: The Crown of Kings in September 2016.

The game's innovative style of gameplay was lauded upon launch from outlets such as Hardcore Gamer, writing: 'Sorcery! is one of the best games that this reviewer has played on the iPhone and iPad, offering a plethora of options and an excellent story.'[14]IGN gave similar praise, adding: 'Sorcery! relies on the often-ignored power of strong writing, and it’s better for doing so.'[15] It has a Metacritic score of 85 out of 100 based on 13 critic reviews.[11]

The series's second entry had a noticeably similar aesthetic to the first, with Slide to Play mentioning how 'Sorcery! 2 isn’t doing much different',[18] and MacLife making it a point to say 'Sorcery 2 continues the adventure with very little iteration, but it’s built on a strong foundation that remains charming.'[19] Other critics agreed noted that the game was still different enough to be worth it to returning fans, with 148Apps's review reading: 'Building upon the success of its predecessor, Sorcery! 2 is a gripping and well told story of intrigue and adventure, amongst some great game features.'[20] It has a Metacritic score of 88 out of 100 based on 10 critic reviews.[16]
Sorcery! 3[edit]

After a longer break in between entries, the series's third game is perhaps best summarized with TouchArcade's review: 'Sorcery! 3 is easily the biggest and most robust gamebook inkle has produced to date. It offers all of the strengths of the previous chapters and builds a ton of improvements on top of them .. it's hard to imagine how they're going to top this for the concluding chapter, but I guess we'll find out whenever it's ready.'[22] Gamezebo once more had praise for the Sorcery! series, remarking that 'this is once again a seminal moment in interactive fiction.'[23] It has a Metacritic score of 90 out of 100 based on 10 critic reviews.[21]

Upon release of what is thus far the series's concluding entry, critics still found Sorcery! 4 iterative and fresh with Rock, Paper, Shotgun calling it 'utterly fantastic' and 'a towering triumph'.[26] Richard Cobbet characterized the game in the same light, proclaiming Sorcery! 4 to be 'easily the most crazily advanced, ambitious CYOA ever put to page or screen'.[27] It has a Metacritic score of 89 out of 100 based on 7 critic reviews.[24]
