Simon the Sorcerer

Simon the Sorcerer is one of the best point-and-click adventure games I’ve ever played (and I think I’ve played almost every one on the App Store at the time of this writing). A small portion of the voice acting is a little iffy (my only critique), but the rest is great, and I’m giving it 5 stars overall because it is simply a game done right from start to finish. If you’re a fan of the genre, I think you’ll really like it. I actually made maps with pen and paper while I played to help me figure things out, and it was a lot of fun! Highly recommend.

Simon the sorcerer is a great game! This version is a very clumsy when it comes to graphic design of the new elements though. For example, the idea of using a scaler to render graphics at higher resolution is awful. The original graphics were drawn pixel by pixel to be displayed as they were created, the scaler butchers most of them! Even if a classic option is given, this should be the default, and the scaler not even included. Also, the new UI elements are high-res and do not match with the game pixelated art, making it look like a student project rather than a professional game. So, please be careful when adding new elements to existing games, as styles should match.

I am a huge fan of SCUMM VM games. It all started with Monkey Island. Then, I decided to Google SCUMM VM Games and I found a lot. One of them was Simon the Sorcerer. A couple of months later, I found out about remastered editions. I searched a few on my phone and that’s when I found this game. I like the graphics and the way you can make it classic mode. That’s really all I can say. By.
