Developer Description

Your clan's name hangs heavy on your shoulders, and the old gods are watching.

In pre-Christian Ireland, where family bonds and the honour of one's tribe are worth dying for, and where the old gods are forever watching, you must be as guarded as the hound, as cunning as the fox, or as brutal as the boar to survive. You have fallen out of your father's favor and are being sent along with a dispatch of hardened warriors to help your uncle quell the ever-frequent viking raids to the east. You must impress your father to reinstate your right to the throne of the Boar Clan... or you can seize it for yourself. Your father's numerous enemies are conspiring against him, the peasants are rising in revolt, his own guard outposts are deserting him and even his most trusted may be tempted to rip his throne from under him.

The Brothers' War, a Clans of Éire Saga, is a 60,000 word historical-fantasy interactive fiction, where your choices and decisions control the world around you, including characters you meet, your possible romances as well as the enemies you make. It is text-based without sound or special effects, supported by occasional celtic la-Tène style art and fuelled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. The people of Éire whisper of a time when your father's time on land has ended, and when, or whether, you will take his place. Through politics, persuasion, battles and knowledge, you must secure your future throne… or die trying.

Really detailed, and excellently written

Obviously the main problem is the pacing and small glitches and grammar errors. Also some minor stuff such as the existence of Scottish people which just wasn't a thing back then. During this time the people who lived in Scotland were gaelic or pictish, Scottish wasn't a term that was being used until a little bit later. But it shows promise, definitely not the best I've read from hosted games or Choices but it's decent I hope the sequel is more ambitious.

The summary of the game is interesting however there are many grammatical errors in the game that caused me unable to finish this game. I think the author should do some corrections before releasing this game on Playstore.

★★

Although the plot and idea behind the story seem promising, there are an overwhelming amount of continuity errors, grammatical errors, and logical errors. In addition, the game feels rushed and not as fleshed out as it should be. Once again, there are noticeable continuity errors that should be resolved quickly. I suggest waiting for future updates before buying the game.

I was really looking forward to it but the horrible pacing and really badly laid out text is driving me mad. Spaces and the use of paragraphs would make it so much easier to read. It was also just a bit rushed, felt very railroad -y. Like one moment I'm in the start of the game and the next I'm being assassinated in some place that I somehow ended up in yet I was supposed to go elsewhere. And I had a few scenes mess up, like I convinced the bandits to gtfo but it acted like I'd still fought???
