    Create your own epic saga of conflict, mythology, and community! This acclaimed game of magical storytelling blends interactive stories and resource management. It’s set in Glorantha (the world of RuneQuest, HeroQuest, and 13th Age). It’s immensely replayable, thanks to over 575 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 Independent Games Festival. • Everything in the game is utterly convincing and even years after release, the possibilities seem endless. (One of the 5 best strategy games ever made) [Rock, Paper, Shotgun] • 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] Players say: • I am really happy to have found this game. It scratches so many itches: simulator, rpg, adventure book...Great work! I find myself playing it on both my iPad and iPhone. Very addictive! • I got this game at 6pm tonight. It's now 4am, and I've hardly scratched the surface of the depth of this game. • I now have a fun, engaging, thought provoking RPG on my iPhone, an RPG that fits in my purse and that I can play any time I want, not having to have my computer or Xbox 360 near me to do so. • 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. The game is completely accessible via VoiceOver. Be sure to check out Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind, the spiritual successor!

    Wonderful game! Easily one of my top played iOS games last year. If you miss the sense of discovery that games used to possess before developers decided to hold your hand every step of the way, then this is a game for you. It's a complex game but uncovering its depth is the best part of the game. If any one is confused by the game initially pm me and I can help you out.
     
  5. Is this an rpg? Wow, a game with so much reading... Maybe that is a good thing though.

    No matter what you do, BUY THIS GAME. I truly fell in love with this game. I suck at it, but I loved every aspect of it.

    By the end, you truly feel like you've accomplished something special.

    It may have its flaws, it may look a little dated, but passing this up is crazy. It's the best mix of an RPG, a Kairosoft, a sim/strategy and a choose your own adventure game with one of the best, and most engrossing stories I've ever experienced.

    I echo your sentiments. I discovered this game (not a download, just a review) on one of the greatest websites known in the history of man: The Home of the Underdogs. I had waited over a decade before I finally grabbed this.

    You might want to have an ipad handy though, it can be a difficult play on an iphone.

    I can't recommend this enough, it's an absolutely stunning combination of adventure gamebook and civilization sim.

    Another game off of my Appshopper Wish List. The lower, celebratory price point makes the game more approachable for someone like myself who hasn't played games from this genre. Looking forward to digging in the manual and jumping in.

    BTW, once one starts the game(ie) after i finish reading the manual and get into actually playing the game, is there a way to get back to the main menu and reference the manual again?

    If you go to "Lore", you can find the button to access the Manual.

    And the lore is as deep as in any game you'll find. It's like reading rhe Cimarillion, for goddness sake! ...which helps explain the somewhat steep learning curve...
