Grey Star Quest
You are Grey Star. From the core of a raging storm you appeared - a human child, ship-wrecked and orphaned, a gift of hope to the exiled Shianti sorcerers. Ever since that fateful night they have raised you as one of their own, teaching you the mysteries of their magic in preparation for an epic quest.
The time has now come. You must find the legendary Moonstone and with its power crush the evil Wytch-king of Shadaki. For only you can save the land of your birth from the cruel grip of his empire. But be warned! Ahead lies a terrifying journey into the unknown where survival or death confronts you with every turn of the page.
This app will include the 4 books covering "The World of Lone Wolf" collection. Right now only the first book, "Grey Star the Wizard", is correctly playable; the other 3 books will follow shortly.

Comments:
Great return to Magnamund! A few minor bugs, but in general the best way to play the brilliant books faithfully! I read them as a kid, but didn't have a good way to track actual stats, perform combat, etc. so I just read them. Now I can play as they're meant to be played. Looking forward to the addition of the last book!
Edit: I changed my review to 2 stars. While I was initially excited to play this game, the random number generator tends to low numbers making certain fights impossible to win. And unlike the Lone Wolf books, the Grey Star books cannot be completed w/o these key battles. I have yet to complete the first book. There is no collection of powers that enables to you to beat the Spirit monster (70% kill rate) or simply jump over a ravine. It's all on that demmed number generator. And it tends low.
Excellent game play. Options for different profiles for different play style (i.e. power selection and character stats). Automatic combat tracking is a major boon for this series, but still simulating the original combat system. Some bugs, mostly relating to interacting with your backpack and picking items up. Contains all the original art and story. Biggest frustration was really related to source material and sudden deaths and return to the beginning. I think this can be cut down on with the option use of bookmarks for a small cash donation, but I have not tried them yet, so just guessing they work as save points. I think I would have liked the notes section to auto update more - it would be fun to look back and see more information on the path you have followed. The map and route tracker was a very nice touch. Currently only contains the first book of four in this series. Very much looking forward to the next part.
Would give more, but unlike Lone Wolf adventure, this app resets your progress when you restart the phone, when you clean the cache and even when you just don't play for a day or so. What is lost is as far as I know all the bookmarks and your progress. You go straight back to the start of the first book. Because of this and a busy life, I still haven't finished the first book. Can you fix that issue, please?
Very impressed! The Lone Wolf Saga app Is wonderful and now to have a similar experience as Grey Star is a bonus! Not too much more to say other than keep up the great work! This is a perfect app for those that enjoy interactive fiction and desire to either keep their own books from wear and tear or have a hard time finding them physically. Kudos!'
