Choice of Rebels: Uprising

I am beyond shocked at how much I would fall in love with this game, I am truly lost for words and can’t wait for part 2

Story was fun and engaging, amazing plot so far, extremely unique. Can’t wait for the part 2, hope you are working on it already! Loved Breden by the way, one of the better written characters out there.

(no subject) Kieran T. Flitton to me 1 minute agoDetails Choice of Rebels: Uprising, is easily one of the best immersive fantasy experiences to emerge in the last few years, or, indeed, ever. It succeeds at being both an incredibly engaging game, and an utterly engrossing work of fiction – on a level with the contemporary greats of the fantasy genre. Joel Havenstone has constructed such an astoundingly rich world, that it is startlingly easy to get lost in its unique history, diverse locales, and socio-economic struggles. It feels like a world that existed long before your arrival, and will exist long after, but you will leave your mark upon it, and it will leave its mark upon you. Taking on the role of a noble from a house of floundering renown, or as a helot (a member of the slave-caste) you will embark upon the start of a journey that unlike many others. The identity of your character is whatever you will make of them – gender, personality, sexuality, skills. An astounding series of divergent routes, hinge upon your myriad choices, enough to ensure that no two playthroughs are ever the same. The decisions you make, and there are many of them, will transform your lot, and the lot of all those who look to you for guidance. Most impressively, morality is not punished, and the great many options you receive are most often spectacularly nuanced. There is no black-and-white, no good or bad decisions. The narrative is not there to punish, but to enable you. Events that start off ruthless can end altruistic by your hand, or great kindnesses can be undertaken for entirely selfish reasons. This is a world of greys, and no two shades are ever the same. Those who relish the works of George R.R. Martin, or Joe Abercrombie will find a great deal to fall in love with across the vivid provinces of the oppressive Karagond Hegemony, and beyond. The writing is mature, balancing hope and inspiration with brutal realisms, all clearly well researched and passionately formulated. This is a living, breathing adventure. The characters you will meet come alive across the series of struggles, and kinships you share with them, and it is to you to decide who will you draw close, and who you will push away. Choice of Rebels: Uprising is something truly special. A must-experience for any fan of fantasy, or admirer of choice-driven gameplay. It marks the first instalment in a series that promises to delight, despair, and mesmorise anyone fortunate enough to find it.

I have never been so upset to find out the next part of something isn’t out yet! I NEED to know what happens next! Easily one of the best Choice Of stories in their library, rich and well built world lore, with interesting characters and a crazy amount of choices! Amazing, simply amazing.

I wanted to give it less than 5 stars at the early stages of me getting into the play. The story was too vast and almost overwhelming in comparison to other games. And then suddenly it caught me. I started understanding the story, learning the new words, the history, the incredible depth of the story. I fell in love with this game. I had a bug when putting in numbers, the chapter reset on me, which was slightly sad. Nevertheless, one of the best Choice games out there. Brilliant. Passionate. Difficult!

I have read/played a number of the Choices games and this is by far the best I have ever seen. Real depth in the story, well written and a number of choices which have real effects on the game. Brilliant and a must buy, worth every penny!

Absolutely one of the stand out games of the genre. Can be difficult to get to grips with the new language but the gameplay is deceptively complex and there are multiple ways to complete this.

I’m too early in to make a final judgement, this review reflects my early game experience. Firstly, there are very little indications, telling you who you are. I wasn’t aware I was from another kingdom until it came up in a speech option...I also have no idea what age I am... secondly, the words are too...confusing, you honestly get chucked straight into it with very little help. Thirdly, the game has this very irritating habit of resetting my progress to the start of chapter one after getting a few pages in...

Well written, big, many different options, enjoyable. Buy it play it love it.

Best choice of game book I’ve read in bleedin ages! Loved it and cant wait for part 2! Keep it up!
