Gamebook Adventures 4: Revenant Rising App Reviews

Early in the story, theres at least three or four ways youre either denied a way to save yourself entirely through radon actions that in no way seem atrociously dangerous, or put there with such weak dice pools youre guaranteed death through slow needling. Once you get past that point it picks up nicely and is actually quite interesting and original. But I do agree that at some point you start to stare blankly at the screen when half of your pool of six is ones, and literally all of their pool of four is above five. This happens the sweeping majority of the time, but through bludgeoning the encounters with bookmark hammering, you can trudge through it.

The writing is well done and I enjoyed the story. However, the dice rolls are unfair and frustrating. Like other reviewers have stated, the computer cheats.

A classic oldschool style of gaming. If someone like games with good stories, they will absolutely love this! With the battle, path choices, and items, it has an immersion that most ordinary books doesnt. Is it just me, or does this game use more battery than expected for a heavy text game? Perhaps someone else can confirm or maybe I played it and time went by so fast :D.

A huge fan on Tin Mans Gamebook Adventures, I quickly devoured this fantastic fantasy tale. I can highly recommend this story to anyone with a live of classic gaming and storytelling.

I have to say first of all I absolutely love your books and this one is definently your best so far I loved the story the music and especially the new artwork it all really set the mood! When I bought your first gamebook I was worried it wouldnt live up to its price tag but I was completely surprised and have bought all of your books after that with no regard to the price! I was born long after the gamebook fad but have always loved books so when I stumbled upon your books and the fighting fantasy books I fell in love! So please please please dont stop your amazing work and lets all cross our fingers that gamebooks might come back in style eh! It may not be the most profitable form of intertainment but someone can only play so many mindnumbing games before going braindead so please follow your passion and Ill throw as much financial support your way as I possible can best of luck to you

Game books are perfect match for the iPhone (iPad), I just realize this. Creators should just pick out the best game books from the past and port them. It actually makes them better too read...

So far Ive played (read?) two "gamebooks" in the series--this one and the Spider God--and of the two, this is the superior. Writing is hit-and-miss, but overall it works. The story is linear and contrived, but a fun diversion--one great aspect is that your character has a personal motivation to continue through his (Id say or her, but I get the feeling the story is written to assume the protagonist is male) quest. The personal element of the narrative is what makes this one so fun, and, if you play right, in the end the story finishes as a compelling personal journey.

Love these. Hope they keep making em! Pricey but I think theyve been worth it so far.

Ive been enjoying working my way through this series, and this one was a lot of fun with a very interesting storyline.

I just started this series and I had so much fun. The only thing I think you can add to make it even better if you get a chance to lead people into battle against your nemesis. Also make the dice roll less tough. Good work though!

Through the book, I come to care about my character and his friends. I want to save the world, not just beat the game.

This game book is a lot of fun. The adventure in the spirit world portion of the book is a nice touch.

Very good game, I like the choices its just too easy to beat for the price they ask.

A little easy, but worth the price. Keep up the great work guys.

Im a fan of the various text based rpgs for the ios, and its no secret that Im not so big on the fighting fantasy franchise especially when compared to a "certain" other company. That being said, this was one of my favorite of the series and is worth every one of its 5 stars. Adventure, romance, allies, enemies, oh and your main character is a top tier undead affront to all that is good and holy. So, yeah. Fun times await.

Anybody that likes Choose Your Own Adventure style books (like Lone Wolf) will think this gamebook is a blast. Check it out these are old school fun!

This game book is definitely one of the better ones in the series. The story is engaging and the action is broken up into three separate areas. There appears to be more than one ending to the book which makes the book replayable. However, Im not interested in replaying the book. Others might be, though. The book was well written, but there were a few minor grammatical errors and stuff like that. Nothing major. The artwork was also very well drawn. This book is highly recommended!

This book is probably my favorite in the series so far (Im up to book 7). It has one of the better storylines, and oddly enough, I like the music loop in this one as well. It doesnt seem as repetitive as the others. You start to care about the characters in the story, and the multiple paths make this book replayable.

What a fun story! I really enjoyed it! Very well done! I really want a sequel!
