Reading is a pretty popular activity today, mainly thanks to the fact that we have instant access to almost any piece of information one might be interested in. Gadgets like Kindle and Nook make it even easier to carry an entire library in your pocket, so it’s probably the best time in history to be an avid reader. However, video games rarely provide the players with reading material nowadays.

Pendragon Rising is a text-based adventure game that features no graphics whatsoever, only long pages filled with sentences designed to jumpstart your imagination. The events take place in a pseudo-fantasy universe inspired by medieval Britain, sort of like the story of King Arthur meets Lord of the Rings. Hence, you’ve got mighty human warriors fighting a demonized army, with a bit of magic on the side.

Your role in this conflict can vary as well, since you are allowed to choose between being a woman or a man at the beginning of the game. Depending on your pick, the story changes accordingly, and there are many other choices to make along the way. The game is split into multiple chapters, each one of which portrays a certain event and lets you decide how to handle it.

Your character has the ability to react in a variety of ways to what’s happening around him/her. Battles can be fought the good old fashioned way on the battlefield, or you can choose to use dirty tricks and avoid most open conflicts. However, your choices affect how people see you in the game, which is important if you intend to build relationships over the course of the story.

Finally, you need to come to terms with the fact that there are no visual elements to help you along. Everything needs to be built and designed from scratch in your imagination, but that is obviously not a bad thing. In fact, this allows you to picture everything exactly the way you want it to be, and that’s better than any TV show or video game out there.

Pendragon Rising is more like a good book than a game, and you get to choose how it reads. It can be as bloody as you want it to be, while the character whose actions you control can be molded to fit the desired personality. Thus, the game is definitely worthy of a try, especially if you like reading.
