ABOUT GAMEBOOKS
Gamebooks are interactive e-books. The aim of this kind of game is to choose the right path for our hero. It is the only way to successfully complete the game. A false step may lead your character into oppression or even cause his death.
You single out the right way from several possible options. You can see them at the end of a particular fragment of the game.
Each game is divided into levels (stages). In case of your characters death you may start the game from the beginning of the level you are in at the moment.
When a longer text appears on the screen, just touch & slide to read the farther part of it.
Latest reviews of The Goblin Forest app for iPhone and iPad
Ok, so I find this game fun, but sometimes I only have 1 option... I wish there was always multiple.. On another side, I keep dieing five minutes in. Make the beginning easier and more options, 5 stars.
Every path either leads you further down the linear story or ends up with your death. For how cheap the app is that really isnt a problem. Its a decent story if you ignore the bad grammar and spelling. What I have a problem with is that after a while I get to a point where Im given two options and both options then give me the exact same next page which starts me on a dead end path. Ive gone through this entire game and clicked every option. They all result in a dead end. You cant reach the end of the story. Im assuming that the link for one of those two options is broken and it sends you to the wrong page, preventing you from continuing. They need to put out an update to fix this.
No real choices, poorly translated English, not like a Gamebook or Fighting Fantasy
I like to play and contribute to text based rpgs; however, the text will cut short during the descriptions in the game, right above the option selector. It happens as if it cuts off the last few words. Unfortunately this is unplayable as the game relies much on the text. I am using a standard iphone 4 with ios7. Thanks please fix!!
