It's an alright CYOA, nothing exceptional but still entertaining. The ending seemed a bit abrupt and rushed and the character interactions were a bit shallow, I wish the author put a bit more work in these. 6/10

When I first got this game I saw a lot of reviews bashing it and the developers for not being sensitive enough to LGBT and women. In playing it I saw nothing of the kind. As Choice of Games has always been good about giving LGBT options in their games, I'm concerned the reviews were submitted by bots or people with a political agenda... Anyway, the game itself is pretty good. It's a bit fast-paced and simplistic in writing, but still a solid addition to Choice of Games' library.

This game was fun in the first few chapters because it was hitting all the fantasy tropes but then it just never develops beyond that. You can guess whats going to happen next most of the time, making the right choice for your stats was never a challenge, and all the characters are some of the flattest Ive seen in one of these games with no development that isnt forced. 2 stars cause i did finish it having a decent time but theres no replay value and not worth full price in my opinion.

It's well written, but the plot isn't particularly "fresh". Basically, the MC finds a magical, talking sword and bonds with it. But the sword is endearing alright. A complaint I have is that a secondary character, who is a witch possessed by some dark force, isn't well fleshed-out. She appeared only twice or trice in the story, including at the end. Those are the only times the MC can briefly interact with her. Yet the MC can speak to her like they really care about her at the end. It's jarring.

I enjoyed the story very much, and there were quite a bit paths to take. Definitely worth the price! I have one thing that I kinda wished for by the end: in the Thrall Ending, I kinda wished they'd just share, or that there could've been a romance option- I actually liked them! I hope I just didn't end up missing it...

An enjoyable fantasy romp. I loved every moment of this! It may not break new ground, but not every story needs to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes it's just fun to turn your brain off and fight some demons with your talking sword.
