Mage Elite

I'm still giving this a four star rating, but of the four books by the writer, I think this is the one I liked the least. IFDB should allow users to award 3.5 stars or something.

Mage Elite takes place in a setting which blends fantasy and sci-fi elements. The main enemy is established pretty early in the game. As with other titles by the writer, this has some management elements, including a turn based system where you decide what activities you'll undertake for the day. There are also a couple of optional minigames, although those didn't appeal to me as much. (One minigame from the Grand Casino of Fortune makes a return.)

Stats use an opposed system (which I dislike), although I was still able to clear most checks. The writing and lore are both solid, although the plot gets messy at times. There are also some cool maps, but the little details are harder to see on an iphone screen.

I still liked this game, just not as much as the other short titles by the writer. If you'd like to try a sci-fi game, this is perhaps still worth a look.
