Lords of Aswick app good for
I have played/read it by now several times and have enjoyed every version and decision. I have a faint hope that maybe, one day, the story of the twin sons of the 5th will be told as well.
I have played almost the entire hosted games catalogue as well as many of their parent/partner publisher choice of games and I can honestly say this game was brilliant. I love it and still replay it just for the story. I always feel bitter sweet regret at every ending knowing a sequel isnt out. For comparison, Id compare this game to the simply brilliant Sabres of Infinity, the marvelous Choice of Broadsides, and the stunning Choice of Romance. Truly a superior piece of art. In fact I think I will run through it again right now.
It is a little slow, but later the story gets very game of thrones.
Not the next "Once and Future King" but still enjoyable from start to finish.
Some bad moments
One of the best games released honestly I was fantastic I noticed some very minor grammar and spelling errors but it was a problem this game is a must play for anyone interested in chose you own adventures
This was clearly deeply researched and thoughtfully made, with a detailed, immersive historical flavor, but there were near-constant random tense changes, from past to present to past to present, often within the same paragraph. It was distracting. Tense would often change six or seven times within the same scene--and I mean actions that were happening in the "present" of the story sometimes got present tense and sometimes past tense, at random.
The other issue was that there was very little interactivity for long stretches of the story. Id frequently have to flip through 10 or more pages of story before getting any kind of involvement in making a choice, even a minor one. This is a creative decision, I guess, but it makes the story very dry and isnt what I expect from a choice game.
But please fix at least one of these two problems (I guess the tense might be easier)! I enjoyed the story otherwise. If it were more of a choice-driven game, the tense issue would be forgivable because Id be more involved in the narrative, and if the tenses were fixed, the lack of choice would be more forgivable, but these two major problems in combination meant that I was forced to sit and read long tracts of a novel that hadnt been carefully proofread, which... isnt that fun.
This game is definitely worth the money, and it kinda reminds me of A Game Of Thrones! The characters were a bit flat and under devolved, and there wasnt any real romance as far as I can tell, but I suppose that fits the theme.
I dont often do reviews, but when I do, its because the game deserves it. This game is one such example. There were instances that I think could have been better, however the length and story made up for it in my opinion.
I found this game to be very entertaining. The setting was good, the story was engaging and there is a fair amount of replay, enough for at least 2-3 play throughout in one sitting. My only complaints are that for such a long story there is relatively little interaction on the readers part and I think the author would have greatly benefited from a proof reader as there is a fair amount of spelling and grammatical errors. Overall though I would recommend this game.
This is my first review so sorry if its sloppy
My only con about this game is that it can take a couple of pages to make a decision but other than that this is by far one of the greatest RPG/simulation games Ive ever played on the AppStore
As soon as you open up the app and see some of the options such as being able to see what countrys there are and there geography and being able to find out more of the concepts of the game and can clearly see theyve done there research but the best part is as soon as you start the game you feel so immersed in the world and every division you make matter. It has multiple options and different outcomes for everything which is why this game is one of my favorites and this game is long so but extremely fleshed out and they really did an amazing job so one again an amazing game.
10/10
One of the best
