Very Fun I play a lot of these games and this is one of the best yet. Very long and for once I feel like it has a great replay value. It is intriguing and the story is always interesting. I really enjoyed the characters they all seemed very fleshed out, as did the universe. However, I never got lost in the myth. I highly recommend the game!

The story is very good, with good writing and very interesting characters. Only problem I had with this game is all the gender neutral pronouns(had to google it, didn't even know it's a thing). It is very confusing for a non first language speaker to see "they" and "them" used to refer to a single person, and this really destroys the otherwise near-perfect narration (for me at least). Please do not allow your political stance to ruin your storytelling.

One of the best COG games ever written. The past games were uncreative cash grabs and did everything they could to shove wokeness down peoples throats, but this one had an amazing storyline and depending on your choices, the charcter's personalities change and they react extremely differently to the players choices. The romance options were great, but could have been fleshed out more. This is a high quality game that's worth the money. I hope they publish more games like this.

I have been playing these interactive books for about a month now. This is one of the first ones i came across bit i didn't wanna pay. So i paid for cheaper ones for a while but i came back. BEST BOOK SO FAR!! Totally worth the money. Probably the longest book ive read in my time using these and truly a great plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat. WELL DONE

Very good writing, though more than once I selected a decision I didn't want - there seems to be a gesture that bypasses the confirmation button by swiping left, and it's very frustrating that it is so easy to do accidentally while scrolling down, with no way of undoing or even seeing what option it was.

A wonderful 1st 4 chapters until a paywall--enough to show the value and tone of what to expect in writing, and this game/narrative is very well written as well as comfortably inclusive with its perspective and depth of detail. There is more than enough in game to balance nuance and quality that the content remains very well done when you get to the end. It's also my first buy of these types of things. Reminded me of great CYOA games but with a more modern depth of insight. Ed: Recommended buy!

THIS IS GOLD AMONG CHOICE GAMES! Very well written, unique plot unlike your generic "let's become a mighty knight/mage to save the world from demons" type of story, and packed with interesting, well-developed characters. Seriously, it's rare to see characters so fleshed out and well written in this type of choice game, but this one nailed it! Totally worth the price for its narrative quality, length, and variations. Tips when playing: stick to one goal and to one love interest.

I've read a lot of the choice of games books and this one is truly a mastercraft. It's a long meaty story. The characters are interesting but this is one of the few cases where I would say the plot and setting actually steal the show. Player choice is strong and you can really put yourself in the story. The only criticism I could possibly have is that the romance portion could be stronger and I'd love to see that more fleshed out in a sequel. But that's just a personal gripe. Worth the money!

Very good story, I only did one playthrough but loved it very much. Loved the romance with meredith. There's LGBT stuff in there BUT it isn't forced at all and is put into the story very nicely. There are times when I wasn't really sure what choices depend on what stats to succeed but most of the choices are straight forward. All the characters actually feel like people and react to the things you do very nicely, my ending of the game gave me really good closure. I higly recommend this COG.

The story had a great potential, but it was not as well presented as it could have been in my opinion. The whole game felt a bit too chaotic, and it seemed like the author wanted to make use of all the tools at his/her disposal (e.g. by introducing every gender and personality imaginable, or making the consequences of the player's decisions as intervowen as possible, often without justification). I'm looking forward to reading a more polished version of the game in the near future.

Enjoyable! What could have been a very straightforward plot had enough twists and added depth that it kept my interest throughout. My only critique is that the extensive use of gender neutral plural pronouns added nothing to the story while making some of the text clumsy to decipher ("they" and "them" being used in the singular).

I'll admit, in the beginning stages of the game I became frustrated with my inability to take swift action against some characters in the way. It is possible that for someone who would play this game as I do, they'd feel frustrated and be inclined to give it the boot prematurely but I must say in the end it all turned out a deeply satisfying story.

A master lass in the choose your own adventure style of game, complete with a LOT of actual writing. I haven't felt as full, satisfied and drawn into a CoG title in years. The world is amazingly accessible and robust, with a definitive style to it that's easy to grasp, and the presence of hard written LGBT characters was awesome. Being able to actually change a companion's opinions in the end and convince them to see your way and still get a happy ending? So, so, so satisfying. I adore Verity!

I thoroughly enjoyed my first playthrough, and I can't wait to play it again and again. It's a high-stakes story with gut-wrenching choices, but also a surprisingly optimistic tone and a well-balanced level of difficulty in terms of its character trait system. The consequences of choices make sense. This is undoubtedly my new favorite from this publisher. It reminds me of Choice of Magics and Choice of Robots, if you're looking for other excellent interactive novels to read.

great story and choices I'd definitely suggest giving it a read however I had multiple problems with the interactions on my device. when scrolling some choices would automatically be chosen even without selecting next. same for just tapping a choice. only other thing I would really suggest is perhaps a way to save or reload checkpoint. wanted/ had to restart multiple times to get the first blind playground of what I wanted. could just be my device but definitely an improvement to look into.

Wow, I love this game! I always loved to read and stories of witches, wizards, mages and magic were always my favorite. I've had a hard time the past several years and haven't read a whole book in years. Heroes of Myth has helped me rediscover my love of reading again! Heroes of Myth is an interactive story that allows the reader to choose the main characters next course of action! I recommend this if you love stories of magic and mysticism. The storyline is new, fun and an original! I love it!

I've played almost all the cog games, and this is one of the best yet. Great writing, lots of choice, and quite long. My only critique is that I wish there was more opportunities to interact with the other characters. The interactions that are there are very good and unique, but you can only interact with one character during each story lull so you wind up full committing to one companion per playthrough and ignoring all the other companions, which is a shame because all of them are fantastic.
