Ever wanted to take part in the Arthur saga? Now is your time to change one of britains most famous stories.While it differs in quite some things from the original (naturally), it catches the dramatic events of Arthurs way from bastard son to Ruler of the Kingdom in it\u00b4s war against the evil Saxon invaders.Offering a special treat, Pendragon Rising includes the option to change the whole main cast from male to female, which also presents a different take on the story itself.Will you strive to make peace via diplomacy wherever possible or be a revengeful ruler without mercy? An opportunistic coward or a true hero, who inspires your folk with brave speeches?The writing is also enjoyable enough to fit the theme, while friends of the classic adventure topic, where you rally your allies together with your close group of friends should feel right at home.Conclusio: This has to be one of my favourite CYoA books up to now, as the atmosphere is really enjoyable, the characters likeable\/hateable and it has enough content, to play it more than once, and even get a fully different setting.Rating: 8\/10. Bought it due to my love of the show Merlin, and did not even realise it was a text RPG at first. Tried it out regardless, and I definitely do not regret these past 3 hours. It's very immersive if you do read it through, and definitely worth a second, or third, or fourth playthrough, to see what would happen if you were a pious madman, or a greedy bastard, or a humble bastard trying to avoid the throne. All the choices you make will affect the things that happen to you, how people will respond to your actions, and so on. Sometimes, if you think you're making the wrong choice for the wrong reasons, you end up making the right choice for the wrong reasons... And sometimes it's the wrong choice for the right reasons that ends up being the reason your potential ally is now your enemy!Great, short game, worth the money. Live through Arthur's fight for the Kingdom.. A nice mix of RPG and strategy (all text obviously).. I have just finished my first playthrough and I plan on doing more to see what other endings I could find, though it did not took me very long, just over 3 hours, it was time very well spent and engaging enough to make me want to come back to it for another round which is rare for me. I will say that going into it I didn't expect much as my past experience with text based games was not great, however I am happy that Pendragon Rising was able to reverse that. It had some great reveals and for the most part delivered on the promise of the choices you make being something that matters. It is by no means perfect as sometimes I felt a lack of depth in the alliance building you can engage through diplomacy, but as I've only got 1 playthrough under my belt I bet that there is a lot I missed. Over all for the price it asks and the replay value I would suggest to pick this game up you won't regret it.. Better than I expected. I'm not finished yet but I'm enjoying it. I'm not a huge fan of the text adventures but it was cheap and I was bored. It's worth the money and I'll be more open to text adventures from now on.. This will be the first review I've written for a game on Steam. So bear with my rough assessment.Pendragon Rising an old style text-based adventure where nearly, if not every decision you make matters in some way to the story. Unfortunately I missed the age of Text based games, so playing this as my first pure experience was quite fun.As expected, the roughly 3 hours (per read-through) of gameplay consists solely of making decisions, leading to what kind of King Arthur\/Queen Arta you will be. This consists of these main traits. Leadership, Diplomacy, Warrior, Compassion v. Ruthlessness, Bravado v. Cunning, and Old Religion v. Roman Christianity. But regardless of what kind of ruler you are, you are almost positive to get a rich story.Pros:+Great and immersive story.+Fun experimentation with choices. Each one truly feels unique.+Romances (Or flings) feel pleasantly tasteful.+Writing is very strong, I don't recall seeing any spelling errors.Cons:-Personally wish the read length was longer.-There was a choice or two I found were hard to understand what was meant in context.Taking everything I've said I strongly recommend this game, with a solid 9\/10. If you've got a few hours to spare, or even more for several read-throughs, it's definitely worth the humble price of $4. I'm looking forward to more stories from this developer!. Very much a big Choice Of Games fan, but I wouldn't recommend this particular one as an example of their output.The setting is interesting and seldom used, but compared to their better-composed RPG-style games I just couldn't get into this one; your character stats are in perpetual flux, so you cannot seem to make any decisions without undoing your other stats with no particular rhyme or reason.E.g. You've chosen to be a mighty Warrior thus far, then in the set-up for a battle you choose a solid not-too-crafty strategy option - come the finale for that scene you might be shocked to find suddenly your low Leadership and high Warrior scores have completely switched, meaning "challenge their leader one-on-one" puts you on the receiving end of a almighty whupping.It is - as ever - a robust game regardless, I just found this one quite flawed in terms of supporting role-playing.. Incredibly well written, very, very well-edited, and packed with choices that matter deeply. The game expects you to either know the setting, or to learn it very quickly. Making a misstep is always significant, and you'll have no one to blame but yourself.Took about 2.5 hours to get through a quick pace. I'm looking forward to playing through again as a re-read, to see what else is possible.8.5\/10
