Pros and cons of The Hero of Kendrickstone app for iPhone and iPad
The Hero of Kendrickstone app good for
This game was so good, great story , great characters , one of the best "choice of game" Ive played so far!!
Cant wait for the next episode
Definitely looking forward to the next installment, love it when the story can carry forward like this.
A lot more happens in this than I thought and a lot of options to explore, though not all of them will succeed.
Very much what I love about these games, keep up the good work!
Some bad moments
Ive bought and enjoyed a lot of these "Choice of Games" stories but this one is pretty poorly done. It seems like your choices often dont matter much as you will end up with results that contradict your choices. You arent given much of a chance to develop or alter your core attributes. I noticed quite a few mistakes that slipped through editing. Overall it was not an engaging story, it seemed like there were too many fixed plot points with not enough choice, and it was not particularly well-written. This is the first Choice of Games story that I was outright disappointed in. Give this one a miss.
Was in the mood for a generic medieval fantasy setting so I picked this one up. Its okay compared to other choice games but didnt capture me. The writing was fine but the game elements felt very tacked on as if it didnt matter what my actual stats were in most cases.
That said the ending is amateur hour and unforgivable. After playing for several hours the final boss fight amounts to "a pick the right choice because Im the author and this is what I say needs to happen," event. I didnt pick the right choice and was given a prompt "you died" screen. No epilogue, no interesting details about what my characters death and failure meant for the rest of the generic fantasy world, nothing. There are many better choice games out there and this one is not worth your time unless youve played all those other ones.
I love most of the games these guys put out. But Kendrickstone, while not horrible is not worth 6 dollars.
Its a totally average game. It shouldve been priced at around 2 or maybe 3 bucks.
I suggest only purchasing this if the price goes down because otherwise Im sorry to state that its a waste otherwise.
Paul wang is my favorite choice games author. I must have played through Sabres of infinity like 6 times, I also bought mecha ace and am looking forward to reading this. I saw
Its 240,000 words
And it looks very similar to lucid recent book hero of Daria which I also recomend. Keep writing Paul I cant wait to read guns of infinity.
Ive always enjoyed his works
Somebody is a fan of oblivion ;)
As it says above I dont normally do reviews but this game is one of the best in my opinion of all the Choice Of Games. Ive played almost all of them so far and the author of this one is one of my favorites. Its very action packed and amazing! They even hinted at there being a second one which I am VERY excited for. It is well worth the money I wouldve even payed more because I enjoyed it so much. I recommend this to everyone!
