The land of Kakhabad is a wilderness - a ruined desert, a tangled forest, cruel mountains and fissures, all guarded by seven fearsome serpents. But you must cross this land if you are to reach Mampang and the Crown of Kings. Rely on your wits or fight your way through - play with honour, or lie, cheat and steal - the choices are all yours.
From the creators of TIME's Game of the Year 2014, "80 Days", comes the third instalment in the acclaimed Steve Jackson's Sorcery! series. An interactive story told through thousands of choices, all of which are remembered, where no two adventures are the same.
Adapted and expanded from the million-selling gamebook series by legendary game designer Steve Jackson, co-founder of Lionhead Studios (with Peter Molyneux) and co-creator of Fighting Fantasy and Games Workshop (with Ian Livingstone).
Using inkle's unique inklewriter technology, the story is written in real-time, built around your choices and actions.

8 of 15Don't listen to the 1, 2, 3, or even 4 stars. This is the best game I have ever played. The adventure and action mixed with the design is incredible. I have played and completed this game series twice already. However, get the bundle of the sworcery! games or it won't make sense.
I find myself thinking about Sorcery! all the time. An amazing series that pulls you into its world and story.
The game is fun, interesting, and challenges you to think. However, it crashes all the time, most of the time in the middle of a fight. I finally just gave up and continued on to game 4 without defeating all the serpents. Maybe I'll play again if they fix the bug, but until they do I'd skip this installment.
This is a really cool game. Very well thought out. You can tell they took the time to do it right.
I went over the four apps in my review of the first book, I’ll just add a few things. This third volume is again exceptionally well done. The story is complex, mysterious, and difficult enough to keep you entertained for hours and hours. Each volume seems to get even better. This one is smart, well-written and incredibly enhanced compared to the original book. This is simply one the best mobile games I have ever played—and undoubtedly the best RPG game on a mobile platform I have ever seen. In fact, it’s the first mobile game I actually advised my friends to buy! As far as I am concerned, it should live in the top ten games in the Apple store.
Please choose this adventure series, it's great
Masterfully built - astonishing.
Really fun, and detailed!
