Ambar's Fate - The Gamebook

Great setup but miserable execution. A short while in one encounters a wild boar that is near impossible to kill as a ranger, a few hits kills you while it can take 15! Bookmarked the fight and tried it over and over and also replayed from the beginning three times and the boar appears unavoidable. Utterly awful game design, also there are tons of spelling errors

I have died multiple times because I can't hit the enemy but they can hot me just fine... other than that, the game is awesome.

Fight a thief and literally missed every single hit while he deals 3 damage per turn on my 120hp warrior to death while I missed every single hit lol no thanks

The game's combat is hard and there aren't enough options to avoid fights or weaken your enemy if you play as a Ranger. Hence the best option is to go as a warrior and focus on combat since the other stats aren't really useful. No matter what you do, you always have to focus on combat if you want to finish this game, whitch makes the other non-combat related stats almost useless in comparison.there are difficulty setting but they just give you more save slots. Whitch don't help much since the problem is the strong enemied and random combat that you have to deal with.

Too bad it is so short. Just a i was heating up...boom..done

Pretty good all in all. I mean sure it has its textual problems,( which is only to be expected considering that it was so I heard translated into English from a different language)but otherwise it was rather good. My only complaint is similar to some of the others on here is that it was entirely too short and I add to that by saying I thought that the end was.. well sorta unsatisfying lol. I beat it in less then an afternoon on normal so its hard to say if it would of lasted longer on hard or not but still shrugs. Some additional quests would be nice( especially after you beat Behee and return to Amber.. I mean come on lol )that said I'm looking forward to future updates.

Well done for this genre. Few minor translation mistakes. But close enough that it's not to hard to figure what words they intended to use.

Short amazing game. Well written and the mechanics aren't too difficult. FYI, bookmarks once placed, can be use infinitely. Played warrior built to fight and breeze through the game. Thanks for the game. Cheers to you.

No information about abilities and skills.. Huge miss rate.. Way to huge. Game based on hit/miss chance. So if u miss5 times in a row, youlose. And must play from beggining.. I play on easy and dsnt matter on attribute I just keep missing and can't kill normally even ogre. 10/1 chance even to reach him. PS no save point so If u dead u must walk true all pages again and again. Game to hard... Update at least what abilities do. No info at all...

Great, though not perfect yet but it almost there. The only thing bothering me is the speech mark in the story, maybe you could use quotation symbol ("...") for dialogues. I know it's small but it would really make readers comfortable reading the story. This game is great, really!

With chances to go different paths and to resolve the story in various fun ways, the game offers challenges and fun. Only real flaws are the imbalances in combat and a few light bugs. One of the best CYOAs on the market, and free too!

Ignore those who are whinging about nothing and enjoy it for yourself! This game has a 'feeling' to it where other cyoa games can come off as sterile. If any complaints; too short; boss too easy (maybe some more elements to the story?); and your translator needs to consult further once she's done! (Try contacting someone like me for further improvements with translation!) Keep going... :) I hope to see more!

Good narrative and only two glitches I could see. Wish there was even more story available and then an option to replay with hidden text. Story has capacity to be a lot more intricate which would let it maintain interest for longer.

The story is enjoyable as is the game itself (once you get the hang of it). The game does suffer a bit from the crappy combat chance (and being overly short) mechanic, but the mechanic problem is easily overcome with the use of bookmarks. This is the second best game of its genre in the Google Play store, and it's completely free! Definitely deserves a download.

I can't stand games that don't give any information on the most important parts of building your character. While some stats are fairly obvious. Others are left to guesswork. It's incredibly lazy and stupid

I really like the premise of the game but its far too difficult...even on the easiest setting doing side missions is almost unthinkably difficult. I've run the game over a dozen times with different character set ups and approaches and I've only cleared the fomorian tower once through what is apparently sheer luck. Ease up devs... If I want to be challenged I'll knock it up to a higher difficulty but on easy I just want to enjoy the story, not pull my hair out because I have to restart every 5 minutes

I really like this game with the story line and sound, but it has gotten really frustrating with the combat. I'm forced to make my character choose combat, or hard to kill skills because otherwise I just keep dying. The hit and miss rate also seems to be against my player the rate just seems unbalanced. And I'm on easy mode. You soon loose interest in a game if you have to keep replaying a part over 20 times because of death.

I think that you need to tweak the system of battle by a lot, what I mean by this is that I invest in my character being accurate and they can't even hit one attack. And the items are very overpriced,But over all a good story and a decent game for passing time if you have patience.

Your lucky to get four* because of that battle system you got going on there at the start. It's about as functional as swiping a credit card in a strippers a$$. That being said the story's great, translations pretty good, lots of cool skills to learn (albeit 85% of them useless.) Still It's a semi solid play. ~Pro tip~ Read the rules, it outlines what every skill/attribute contributes, then get your defense(agility) and Health up ASAP!!!!!!!!Everything else is redundant.

I love everything about this story. The fact that you can miss people in this story proves a lot of work was put into it. Only problem is I couldn't save my progress, so every time I died i'd have to start over again, repeatedly dying in that process because of the dice/chance part of battles.

The story's OK really old fashioned speaking, but the fight is terrible. You only hit like 3/10 times, before that you're already dead

Terrible, just terrible. It's as developers just made generic rpg stats but had no idea how to implement it in the game. Stats like strenght, agility, charisma are so useless dont know why you even bothered. Combat system is a mess and the story seems as if a kid wrote it. Thumbs down.

Even with attack exceeding your opponent's defense, you miss more often than hit. Meanwhile your opponents whittle your health down so that fighting two without healing will likely be fatal. Since you don't get chances to heal frequently, that makes this game something only for the extremely lucky.

Finished the game in easy. Its so hard using ranger i always die and has small damage. its useless to hide and unlock cause you still have to fight the monsters and die after hiding. I suggest using warrior its easier to win.

A fun story with lots of options. A few minor errors inside (name imports, typos, choice resulting in going to the wrong section or back in the story, possible mis-translations, etc.). Would really like some kind of guide or quick description of what the stats and skills do before selecting. Overall very good and recommended to anyone who enjoys choose your own adventure. Hope to see a sequel or additional stories in the future!

Battles are way too dependent on luck. Even on easy, with the same character build, I'm losing fights I won on normal simply by missing too much.

Whats the point on having stats if they mean nothing and its all luck based in combat? You players die so much they then post 1star out of anger cause the game could be so good but fails horrible.

The gameplay is awesome, the soundtracks goes well with the environment. The story is good but not mindblowing. The choices don't actually matter much, as there is only one real ending. And to people who say there are not enough info go read the rules. They give you every information in detail. Also each and every attribute, skills and talents are useful. I won't spoil it, find out on your own.

Game is good , story is great but only thing I don't like is combat it is imbalance and I need to keep trying again and again as your attack and defence is base on chance!! And other this is there is no save point!! If u guys can put autosave or some checkpoint it would be great and balance combat!! ..

Possibly the best gamebook I have read/played so far. Well narrated, excellent story and well designed. I also enjoyed the fact you had control of the battle features and gained exp and items from the battle. Apart from being a bit short,(I really wanted to play more), I thoroughly enjoyed playing this and can't wait for another gamebook installment from you.

The game mechanic don't seem to effect the game play very much (as in the stats) making it annoyingly random. The two choices, Ranger and warrior aren't balanced, and makes the warrior a far better choice than the Ranger considering the challenges in the game, which isn't fun

It's an interesting story of olden times. Curious that, though it's obviously translated from Spanish, of all the CYOA games on Google play it has the least spelling mistakes. There are a few expressions that don't really translate, and I think the characters might need a bit more depth, but all in all an entertaining adventure. I recommend using a predefined character, they are somehow much stronger. Would enjoy trying the Spanish version :-)

I loved the game, I had fun playing it when I got it and the combat style and right feel is good. But the only problem I had is the game is very short. I played it for two days and beet it. If you where include different content, including towns or islands, then the game would be more entertaining. In addition to the game being short, iPhone users have to pay 2 dollars to get the game which isn't worth it with the game being small.

Have kind of good story although quite short. The mechanics of the game are quite flawed like the fighting mechanic and items. But overall it's a good game. Mind you that this game have no ads and in app purchases. Rate 5 for giving something good for free

Many people will come to realize that perception and charisma is practically useless. Fitting the interface to my phone is impossible. Ends up missing a portion of the screen. Not to mention how you only get two skills which is pretty crappy. Now on to tips. Best tip I can give is the use of bookmarks. This game has a good story, but I feel like it could have been longer. Anyways, not the best and not the worst.

Your battle system is horribly flawed. Gaining the needed gold almost impossible. Im saying a fully agile hunter should be able to dodge an ogre and not miss every hit. I don't think there's money to be made here.

Found a few glitches. For CYOA it was fun to play. Checkpoints that allowed restart without burning bookmarks would make it better. I got lucky and made it from the last city visit to the end, but having no bookmarks left its a good thing i was lucky

It could be great, but after reading Magium, I will rate it just ok. Language is not great. Bookmarks are bad, in easy mode you have 7 saves. But you have no idea how far you are from ending. So you never kNow whether you are saving tooo frequently or not

The other skills like perception and charisma are pretty useless, monsters are hard to beat so you need to minmax your stats into combat stats leaving little room for non combat creativity

But the game is indeed to hard. Playing on easy mode I can't make it past the second town. Why is it titled "Easy" if it's super hard to kill / avoid anything?
