Finally.

Some small notes based on other reviews: yes this game eats battery like crazy.

To beat the time serpent, find the clue near the middle of the map. Its all about time after all. Trust me when you figure it out youll find yourself wondering why you didnt think of that.

And as a side note no one asked about. I bought these games for the kindle fire also. Your passwords work across systems. Happy gaming everyone!

So the review!

Okay! After having played through twice, and poked at the beginning of a third time I figure I can leave a more detailed review.

Like another reviewer said, the game truly IS open world.

I did contact them to ask about whether its possible to save the fractured world you travel through, and they said no as of yet no. But they said that one particular encounter was reported as a bug quite often when I mentioned i enjoyed it. There is ONE encounter where going backwards will NOT let you make new choices. Instead the person you are talking to says the equivilent of "Really? You tried to rewind time? NAH TOO BAD." When I tried this i laughed so much. Each serpent has a weakness. And you can even TRICK them sometimes. Though when I tricked the moon one he found me again later, so thats probably not the greatest idea. They introduced new mechanics. The slider to take you back in choices to help facilitate the fact that you will want to retrace your steps several times sometimes (I kept going to sleep in a particular tower that was safe because well. It was safe. Sleeeping out in the middle of nowhere isnt safe!) Theres now counter spells, which actually are helpful!! Youll learn them if you talk to the right people. Theres also a shop where you can make a ton of gold if you play it right. I walked out of there with over 150 gold. The ending is...something else. I was staring at the screen feeling vaguely horrified over it. But thats a tale for Sorcery! 4.

The best items to get from the first two games are the mirror, skullcap, and green haired wig. Good luck finding them (The mirror and wig i found in sorcery! 2. I BELIEVE I found the skullcap in 1...I forget.) But if you do have those items, they make a lot more options appear.

Now I never read the books back in the 80s. I didnt have the money to buy them back then. (I got $5 a month for allowance and they never showed up at the used bookstore I bought paperbacks at.) If you want an idea of how good these games are, game vloggers on youtube were playing through them. Theyre usually super snobby about mobile games.

I had a few crashes, nothing major. I was playing on an iphone 5s though, not an ipad mini. This game does eat battery like its a college football team at a buffet though, and I found myself running out of battery on my phone after around four hours of play, which is something for a mostly text game. Also, I cant play my own music in the background, which does make me sad. Its not worth taking a star though, as the other two are the same way.
