I have mixed feelings about this title. On one hand, it's got your standard D&D style story and it feels very rewarding when you have the right item for a given situation or when you win a round of combat. On the other. Losing 20 consecutive dice rolls is NOT cool. (I'm talking to you, Ape Man). It's cheap and shallow with almost no strategy involed, but opened my eyes to the existence of gamebooks (I was born in 1991). I cannot say I regret the purchase at full price. Just don't expect it to blow your mind and appreciate it for the cultural value.. If your a fan of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks then its a no brainer. My books are a bit worse for wear and so i jumped at the chance to add this digital copy to my collection. Just a bit annoyed that there is no Warlock of Firetop Mountain or Citadel of Chaos on here. Cmon guys do them in order.. As an avid Fighting Fantasy and Gamebook collector, I was very pleased to see that this was available on Steam and purchased it during the Halloween Sale. Playing the game was both a nostalgic delight and a fun, exciting interactive experience slightly reminiscent of playing "Citadel of Chaos" on the C64 many years ago. TinMan Games have done a fantastic job of reproducing Ian Livingstone's classic extremely faithfully; I was able to find my old maps and utilise them to complete the game in around an hour. Combat rolls are represented with actual dice; white for the player and red for the monsters, enabling a quickly understood and resolved outcome. The musical track is suitably atmospheric and doesn't outlive its welcome. I very much like the inclusion of a "Hardcore mode" for experienced players where no provisions are allowed and initial player statistic rolls are lessened. (You get only 1d6+4 for your skill stat for example.) this added a dimension of challenge to a familiar story. However, amusingly I ran into a bug at the encounter with "Quin the Arm-Wrestler" and found myself with 68 stamina going into the next encounters, which trivialised reaching the conclusion of the book. It was a pleasure to support the developers and I look forward to seeing more of their work. Recommended to Gamebook, Fighting Fantasy fans and those looking for an interactive reading and single player role-playing experience.. First up I am very pleased to see these books getting re-released as computer games, and a reasonable price too! There are some technical issues at the moment (dice rolling off the screen, dice falling 'into the distance', potions vanishing), but generally a solid implementation. Regarding The Forest Of Doom specifically though, I just didn't find it a good Fighting Fantasy book personally; you have to hit no less than 4 specific locations getting through the forest in order to actually complete the game - and you cannot go backwards, so if you choose any of the 3-4 other parallel routes for any key location then your game is a bust. This wouldn't be so bad if other routes were deathtraps or other endings, but the book/game is fully fleshed out with other encounters so it feels like you are actually making headway. only till you reach the end and it summarily declares you failed and get an arrow in the head. I just don't like this model of Fighting Fantasy personally, and much prefer the books were you are heading towards an actual finale and the challenge is in getting there & getting there in a fit state for the last challenge.. Really true to the source material and full of nostalgia. Sad to see a typo a few pages in. Check your work, people! Check it SO many times. Other than that, a pet peev admittedly, a beautiful rendition of a fantastic gamebook. There's also an 'about' section in the extras that tells you about the creators. Very cool.. An adventure to be had! Worth a couple of hours full of adventure through a forest that almost took my life several times over in hard core mode. A short book but It'll be one that I actually read. More over very action packed and leaves you to think before you choose. Dice rules stick to the classic. Although the book doesn't have many visual on several other beasts, you could add custom visuals for the game itself.
