    At first glance

    I realize that Death Trap Dungeon is one of the most creative and immersive “choose your path”role-playing games that focuses on text driven adventure. Once I realized the intricacies of how this game works, I realized that this is a game that I can enjoy for a long period of time and still be able to keep in my library for a future years. I tried the video adventure of Death Trap Dungeon, which is what hooked me into this game series. It is very evident that there is a lot of depth in this storyline and that it is worth looking into for anyone who likes classic DND

    Excellent transition

    If you've grown up in the 80's with this series and you don't have the books anymore, this will be a no brainer. Even if you have the books, the transition to the app is flawless with added benefits. The ease of the adventure sheet digitally rendered is great. The combat system is enhanced with the re-roll ability and bookmarking is great too. I really hope the developers are able to add more titles (and maybe even the Sorcery set.

    Awesome!

    Love having an app that has all the books in one place. Interface is smooth and user friendly. Also very easy to save your place so you can come right back if you made a bad turn. Really enjoying reliving these books from my youth. Any chance the Lone Wolf Book series could be incorporated into this in the future?

    Good Old School Fun

    For the pen and paper fan who needs a little fix on a plane ride or train. I have this on PC too and it’s better with the music up and larger screen space. I was born too late into the 80’s to have experienced this myself but am a player of many tabletops and pen/paper games and this is plain good fun. The art is awesome.

    GREAT ROLE-PLAYING APP!!!

    Growing up, I was a big fan of the original Fighting Fantasy series. This brought back a lot of memories, and I can’t wait to introduce it to my son. Love that it’s true to the original text and illustrations, and the added music is a nice touch. Hoping more of the series is added soon, especially “Scorpion Swamp” and “Starship Traveller.”



  • By Freemy64

    This is awesome

    This is a wonderful implementation of a classic format, the adventure book. Growing up I ran an alternative series of titles rather than fighting fantasy, so this is my first opportunity to encounter these. They are wonderful, with excellent implementation. Before warned, all the books actually quite challenging, but that is part of the fun.

    Fun and Frustrating Fantasy

    Great fun, well-written adventures, but boy can it be frustrating at times. It’s a guessing game until you memorize the correct path...or google it. Use the bookmarks my friends...I wasn’t for 90% of my playthroughs of “BloodBones” and I regret it. So much easier with the bookmarks.



  • By Pazuzumessiah

    Great series of game books

    I played all of these in the 80’s and early 90’s. It’s a nostalgic blast to get to go back and play these all over again. The app is great in that it collects them all in one place so you have a library of classic game books at your fingertips.



  • By Anterokid

    Fighting fantasy is back

    I loved these books as a kid and wished I had held on to them. Now they are back and better than ever with a mapping system, bookmarks, and dice combat system. Totally worth it. My only wish is for the Talisman of Death to be available.



  • By Cyber Urza

    Great game

    Just found this today. While I never played these series when I was a kid I did read a lot of Lone Wolf. Question to developer, are the rest of the books going to be made available?



  • By [Maldo82]

    It’s like being 12

    Too cool, I’m only on the first book, but I’m having a lot of fun. If you like old school nerdy fun, this is the game for you.



  • By AnthonyDuricko

    Great resource

    I love it. It streamlines and simplifies the process of playing these game books without sacrificing any of the original content or even illustrations. My only complaint is that there simply aren’t enough books to choose from. I’m not saying they should have all 60+ titles available right off the bat but for ages now there’s been a grand total of... 10. Just give us more books to read!!



  • By G mans awesome game reviews

    Great Platform with A Flaw

    A while ago I bought several of the game books when they were stand alone apps but there is no option to receive credit for these in this app. Seems like a slight oversight to me!



  • By TheMythicThird

    UI Needs Work

    I managed to get the text large enough to play comfortably, but pictures cant be zoomed and that can be a big deal in parts of books. Good app though, worth trying the first free book!
