## Pendragon Rising Reviews in United States

### ***** "Excellent game"
This game was excellent, though I would love it if the writer of this game would create a game starring Merlin, or a female counterpart.
-- Titus Pendragon, 2021-11-05

### ***** "Wish there was a sequel"
This was an amazing game I absolutely loved it and I really wish there was a sequel but it didn’t even let me save a file so the chances are sadly low
-- meldiav, 2019-05-15

### ***-- "Ask reviews"
Honestly I didn’t love this game. The writing is over done and when read playing the female side seems forced and impractical. Relationships feel disconnected and character choice is limited.
-- mars2.5, 2018-12-31

### *---- "Gritty, muddy and lacking a sense of fantasy or fun"
When you play something called pendragon you usually want to play something with knights in gleaming armor and high castles. 

This game will give you the dawn of Britain with barbarian clans fighting over piles of sticks and mud. And had awful to try and remember names.

They try to make it somewhat period accurate, so everyone you meet is steeped in backwards tradition (like thinking winning a tournament makes you fit to lead an army and that your priests actually have magic powers ((they don’t)) ) which is incredibly frustrating to navigate around, basically being forced to constantly make choices that would appease a bunch of unwashed idiots or loose your head.

  I also don’t like the gendered system where either women or warriors or men are warriors. Why? If your trying to make it time period accurate and enforce gender roles, just make it men because at that point offering the choice is undermining your goal anyway. If your going to undermine your goal anyway, toss the sexism out the window and get rid of the gender roles.
-- KanaTheOne, 2018-11-22

### *---- "Romance"
The Morgan romance ruined everything for me.
-- mikemikemikemikemike4, 2018-03-09

### ***** "Totally Immersed!"
This was the first time I played one of these games. I was totally immersed in it and was unable to stop playing from start to finish. I really enjoyed myself, and I can’t wait to play again to see what happens making different choices. I loved the feeling of being in the time of King Arthur’s Britain after the Romans left. I loved being able to play as a woman warrior in a strong women warrior culture. I felt strongly pulled by the various choices presented to me, more and more as the story progressed.

I would highly recommend this game!
-- faelynne, 2017-11-28

### ***** "Money Well Spent"
The creators of this game weaved together a fantastic story line with characters you'll enjoy getting to know and playing. You'll get hours of enjoyment here, highly recommended!
-- JeffandJillian, 2017-06-20

### ***** "Pendragon Rising"
One of the few games I paid for.  It was a great immersive story.  You got drawn in quickly.  It was interesting to see how your decisions decided the story.  I was sad to see it end.  I hope more chapters come along.
-- SueSchmitt, 2017-03-26

### ****- "Amazing   *SPOILERS*"
This is my second favorite Choice of Games story right behind Life of a Mobster.  It's beautifully written, and very exciting. My only complaint is the Morgan romance.  She gets pregnant with your child, and then learns that you are her half-brother (her mother tells her when you are not present).  But at the end she just leaves, and never tells you that her reason for leaving is because she is your half-sister. It left the romance aspect of this a bit unresolved.  But other than that it was great!
-- Gotfan223344, 2017-03-14

### ***** "Worth a read or two"
An excellent foray into the Arthurian legends. If you're familiar with it or not, you'll enjoy this tale of storied legends.
-- Saerise, 2017-03-09

### ***** "Love it!"
I've been fascinated with King Arthur for the past 25 years, so I was super excited to play this game. It did not disappoint! I'm ready for more!!
-- TaraNator1, 2016-12-16

### ***** "Great story!!!"
I really enjoyed this, it does have a good replay value and the story is great. Writing is good with good defined characters. I was delightfully surprised with this one.
-- Mr.jcury, 2016-12-06

### ***** "Great fun!"
This was one of my favorite interactive fiction games. I really enjoyed the world building with the fantasy Britain and the characters were interesting, written with consistency, and relatable 

My one complaint is that some of the game elements didn't hold up to the narrative very well. Examples like where my character was a very low warrior skill but was still able to fight in lots of battles and defeat legendary enemies, and before a major battle I made a speech proclaiming for the old gods and my Christian allies were displeased, but apparently not that much. It just felt like certain things needed to happen regardless of my input.

Still though, highly enjoyable story and writing, well worth a play through.
-- Dude,the45678, 2016-06-19

### ***** "Wow!"
This story has to be one of the best ones made for me to enjoy, it follows the tale with realism and mythology mixed well. Almost every choice I made had some kind of consequence, the subject of religion felt realistic in this story because it portrayed the hassle religions had in those days. I do wish they focused on characters background stories more as well.

*SPOILERS*
The sudden halt during the war felt a bit anticlimactic, they only let you go through half the war before the end of the war come in line after a few sentences, maybe focus on how the time during this bloody fight you become more cold as you slash through so many enemies, I got the slight hint the author tried to do this but didn't focus on it to much.
*END SPOILER*

All in all I don't regret buying this one.👍🏽
-- Capnsansan, 2016-03-14

### ***** "Good"
Good game, liked the setting.
-- Slambeet, 2016-02-25

### ***** "Love it"
I've played a lot of choice of games. This is one of my favorites. Definitely recommend
-- RandomPerson13ilogh, 2016-01-28

### ***** "Fantastic"
Absolutely fantastic, it is extremely well written and a very entertaining
-- Damommamann, 2016-01-20

### ****- "Loved the game but..."
I wish there was a way to go back to the page before you die or complete the game. Other than that the game was great and very well made.
Nice job.
-- Stuffs678910, 2016-01-14

### ***** "A game done right"
A great game in every way, can't wait to replay it.
-- Sebastianphoto, 2016-01-12

### **--- "Eh"
Frankly, it felt too short to me.
-- ThePixelLover, 2016-01-11
