Magium- Text adventure (CYOA)

Very fun story game!

This is one if not the only game that I’ve ever rated and reviewed AND given a 5 star rating. I’ve read other people’s reviews and have a couple things to let you know about. Primarily, I’ve seen people give this game 1 star for “lack of consistent book releases” and “no frequent updates for content”. THE DUDE IS CURRENTLY IN AN ACTIVE WARZONE, and probably has a lot more to worry about then this amazing hobby. Other then that, the age rating is off a bit and should probably be bumped up a couple years if you have a vivid imagination. Secondly, saving is a semi frequent problem IMO because I keep forgetting to save before some decisions and have to go through an entire chapter because I’m silly. Maybe some more checkpoints? Anyways, if you read this, your writing is amazing and you are the sole reason I’ve gotten into creative writing and text style adventure games! I would LITERALLY pay you the world to finish this series and I hope you’re staying safe out there!

The best fantasy (COYA) game i've played in a very long time. thank you for creating this.

By no means am I qualified to criticize the author. I found this on the AppStore years ago when I was in middle school and digested every route possible. This is definitely what you’d call a hidden gem. I remembered it today and decided to check up on the state it’s in now, and unfortunately I was disappointed. It was always a captivating and intriguing story, and I understand the author has his own life aside from this project. A new chapter seems to come out just once or twice a year, and I’m afraid I’ll be long gone before it’s finished without a dwarven lifespan. The author probably makes little to no money for his creativity, which saddens me because it would not only help him but also motivate him to update us more consistently. I get it’s hard to monetize something like this while keeping the fan base involved, so I’m not placing any blame on the author. I just wish there was a way man, because I want this story finished so badly.

I love the the depth the game and all the variations of the paths and how what you do in one book or chapter affects the story later on. I do love the fact that you can complete most chapters with our using the stat points as I like to save before each major decisions and see where each path goes to take in just a bit of the game. Truly can’t wait for Book 4.

I've been playing it off and on since book 2 was still incomplete. Even then it had enough content to have fun replaying it different ways. I like the maxed out speed and reflex Barry, he's like the flash. But hulk Barry is also really cool, maxed strength and toughness.

Amazing story! I’ve tried some of the other choose your own adventure games and none of them are comparable to Magium. I will note that once you get sucked in, it can be annoying that new chapters take a while to come out, but this seems to be a function of (a) story just gets larger with more choices built up (b) longer chapters (c) quality writing. Always, 100% worth downloading, and everything is free.

I recently got a new phone and forgot to down this app again. I remember there being a load saved from cloud but when I get into the app there is nothing of the sort. I do in fact remember there being a button before and I remember saving my progress.Please I need help!

Love the story but it’s understandable how writing a different story for each choice is time consuming. Why not use AI to finish it? AI should be able to do a bunch of the legwork and help get the story going. Edit what you want. I’m sure you’re ready to move on to new things and we’re ready for the rest of the story.

Five stars, no notes. Worth financially supporting the developer, as this is an enjoyable, well thought out game/adventure story. It’s simple, effective, and addicting.
