Reviews and Quotes

Come on people, it’s only FIVE BUCKS and it’s one of the best overall gaming experiences I've had in 2013. Pick this up; you won't regret it.
- Alex Lucard, Diehard Gamefan
It's an old-school RPG, but it's the art that's got me leaning closer, not the genre. Gallagher tells Pocket Tactics that “All the graphics are hand-drawn high resolution sprites and textures. The game doesn't use any cel-shading, all the visuals are manually done. I started by drawing them all traditionally on paper with pencil, pen, and ink.”
Wow. Just. Wow.
- Luke Plunkett, Kotaku.com
I've had a play of that demo and have come away even more impressed by the game’s many systems, tactical mix-ups and branching gameplay than the visuals ever managed.
- Chris Priestman, Indie Statik and Pocket Gamer
Paper Sorcerer does something unique that only Indie developers can: take risks.
- Paul Huxley, Ziip Gaming News
It's a well-written and deep-enough party-based RPG, on the evidence of the demo at least.
- Tom Sykes, PC Gamer
The various character types on offer mean you can replay it an entirely different way. 
- Ben Sillis, Red Bull
The art is very reminiscent of what you used to see in the old school Fighting Fantasy or Dungeons & Dragons books,
- Andrew H, Droid Gamers
Paper Sorcerer is one of those rare stories in the games industry of a project completely beating the odds by being so incredibly innovative that people had to take notice anyway.
