Description of appThis acclaimed game of magical
storytelling blends interactive stories and
resource management into an epic saga of
conflict, mythology, and community. King of
Dragon Pass is set in Glorantha (the world of
the games HeroQuest and RuneQuest).
Its immensely replayable, thanks to nearly 500
interactive scenes and two objectives.
Short episodes and automatic saving mean you
can play even when you only have a minute or
two. The built-in saga writes down the story for
you. And advisors with distinctive personalities help you track
your cows.
The gorgeous hand-painted artwork won Best
Visual Arts at the second annual Independent Games Festival.
It's like they took the best parts of
Civilization games and combined them with the
best part of Choose Your Own Adventure style
game books.
What I like most about King of
Dragon Pass is the seemingly
infinite possibilities that the game has.
I
can't get enough of King of Dragon Pass. [Touch Arcade]
A wholly unique adventure that has no equal on the iPhone.
[Pocket Gamer]
An interactive story with a level of complexity
and brilliance that's rarely seen in video games. [Gamezebo]
If you're looking for something new with tons of
meat on its bones, enjoy reading well-written
text, making moral decisions and managing
a growing settlement, then you can do no wrong
with King of Dragon Pass. [SmashGuides]
Players say:
Challenging and addictive. Best game purchase I've made for the
iPhone.
Above all, KoDP on iOS is *fun*. The game is
ideally suited to the portable platform
I can
pull it up and play a couple seasons when
I'm waiting in line or standing on a train platform.
If Bioware remade Civilization they'd be lucky
to end up half as good as King of Dragon Pass.
It's impossible to describe the emotional tug
you feel when an old and trusted advisor, who
you've watched grow from a young upstart, dies
of old age. Or when an exploration team
disappears into the wilds, never to be heard
from again. Or when a cursed clansman, shunned
by his peers, sacrifices himself to stop a
raid. This game will never leave my iPhone. That's the only
accolade possible.

CommentsThe developer, A-Sharp, has been
fantastic in regards to accessibility. I saw a
largely unplayable game on September 8TH when it
originally came to the App Store, but with some
help, the developer was able to make it a very playable game, as
it is now.
