Role Playing
About this app
"Magehunter: Phoenix Flame" is an interactive fantasy novel by Nic Vasudeva-Barkdull, set in the same world as [i]Battlemage: Magic By Mail[/i]. It's entirely text-based, 300,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Generations ago, invaders brought magic to the Kingdom of Jubai, setting battlemages at the top of the noble power structure and leaving everyone else oppressed. Now, a secret organization of mage hunters has risen up, phoenix-like, to stand against the mages’ power and overthrow their rule.
As one of these mage hunters, you wield the power of slipflame, a potent energy source that powers hunter technology. When you are called to go into battle against the mages, will you blast explosive bolts from your bow, throw silence bombs to cover your stealthy approach, or control your enemies from afar with puppet darts?
But the mages are not the only foes that you will face. The mage hunters have split into factions, and internal discord threatens their mission. Is there still hope for peaceful elections—and if so, which candidate will you support? And what secrets lie buried in the history of your realm? When the time comes for your uprising against the mages, will you stay loyal to your order—or will the mages’ power lure you to their cause?
• Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, or pan; poly or monogamous.
• Master the three types of slipflame, fight with sword and bow, or attempt to achieve your goals through peaceful means.
• Join one of the mage hunters’ four factions, and steer the future of the order!
• Investigate a mysterious famine and fight for the welfare of the common people!
• Uncover deep secrets about your order, the power you wield, the history of the realm—and even your closest companions!
Rise from the ashes, and be reborn a mage hunter!

Ratings and Reviews
While the premise of the story is great your choices don't have any real impact, side characters are bland and idiotic in their problem solving and it shoehorns you into allying yourself with the enemy.
If you wanna feel like a scrappy, sneaky pack hunter this one is for you <3
Don't make stories just for replay ability but make good stories so people won't mind replaying it.
Solid world building, decent if cliché (in my opinion at least) characters, and an ending that brings the events of the story to a fitting end.
The story is a meandering mess that doesn't make sense half the time, the characters are childish one-dimensional caricatures, the stats and checks don't mean anything, and the writing is...well it's just not good.
