Nostalgia overload! Fighting Fantasy returns with Ian Livingstones classic, The Forest of Doom.

Take part in one of the classic gamebook experiences that introduced a whole generation to fantasy role-playing games! Computer gaming was in its infancy and it was the early days of tabletop RPGs when The Forest of Doom exploded into bookshops in the early 80s, proudly displaying Iain McCaigs iconic cover.

You can relive the adventures in Darkwood Forest on your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, lovingly updated for digital devices. Presented in full colour with realistic physics-based dice rolling for battles, auto-mapping, an auto-updated adventure sheet and stat keeping.

** REVIEWS **

“It’s the kind of experience that reminds one what fun interactive fiction can be, as well as making the promise of new Fighting Fantasy titles from Tin Man Games soon, all the more exciting.” - 148 APPS - 4.5/5 - EDITORS CHOICE!

“Given that Tin Man Games’s previous two efforts were quite similar in tone, the change of scenery in The Forest of Doom is very welcome indeed. It’s also encouraging to see the developer adding content to its already-robust Gamebook engine – you now have an auto-map, which records your progress and makes your choices that little bit easier.” - POCKET GAMER - 9/10 - GOLD AWARD!

“This is a beautiful, wonderful adaptation of the classic book. It has every bell and whistle you could ask for in terms of making the experience of playing Forest of Doom as enjoyable as possible. If you’re here looking for the book on your iOS device, look no further. This is what you want. If you’re a fan of game books but don’t know this one at all, I give it a hearty recommendation. This is one of the classics of the genre and it has been given the usual royal treatment from the developer.” - TOUCH ARCADE - 4/5

“Tin Man Games has done a great job of bringing this classic story to iOS, and for us choose-your-own-adventure geeks it’s great to have on our phones or tablets.” - SLIDE TO PLAY - 4/4

** FEATURES **

• Make the gamebook as easy or hard as you like and even turn on a special cheat mode to read it old-school!

Une tuerie !!!

Javais les bouquins étant ados ... Je suis redevenu un ados avec cette app! Qques erreures de traduction mais c négligeable ! Merci pour le portage !

Phénoménal, génial, à posséder absolument

Une excellente adaptation du livre de ma jeunesse et qui avait gravé ma mémoire (mon 1er LDVELH dune très très longue série). Je recommande aux fans de lépoque tellement cest excellent, et même plus rapide puisque les combats, les pages, linventaire et même la carte sont gérées automatiquement mais également aux plus jeunes. Il ne manque que la possibilité dannotations sur la carte en fait.

Ne fonctionne pas sur iPhone 6S

Quel dommage ! Le jeu ne se lance pas sur un iPhone 6s... Moi qui me faisait une joie de retrouver les LDVEH de mon enfance. Je crois que cest le premier article sur lequel je vais demander un remboursement. MAJ : après de multiples tentatives, jai réussi à accéder au jeu. En effet, après un écran noir, il suffit de taper plusieurs fois lécran pour avoir accès à la page daccueil de lapplication...

Very good

Excellent app. It makes me remember from my old books. Very anxious for the Deathtrap Dungeon.

Good, but why this one?

I really love the fighting fantasy gamebooks, always did. But why did they choose Forest of Doom? Its dull in comparison to a lot of the later FF Gamebooks, especially the ones from Jonathan Green. Still entertaining, but too simple, and not challenging at all.

Halt das Original

Schönes Gamebook, eben vom Erfinder desselben. Nett gemacht, abwechslungsreich, viel zu entdecken und bekämpfen, spannend. Diese Neuauflage des Originalbuches von 1983 mit nun colorierten Originalillustrationen ist wirklich zu empfehlen.

OUTSTANDING!

Awesome! Another home run! Well worth the wait! Love the interactive map!
