Great! So much fun— Even in groups!
This game is designed to be played solo, but we were enjoying mapping out our adventure and reading aloud together in a group of three (with one designated hero at a time and sometimes switching roles after a failure). The writing and unique social opportunities are interesting enough for even non-participants to want to listen in and cheer on the successes of of the protagonist. If you want to play this game socially, I recommend having one person read, one person make decisions, and another person draw a map. The only problem is that the story has a number of typos and syntax errors. It could use a good edit, but the fun is not dampened by the mistakes. I am so glad we got this game!
My first gamebook
I didn't grow up in the 80s period, so this is my first dip on the fighting fantasy, btw im 27 so i spent my youth on 90s:p Maybe this is a lil bit bias because i really love the genre I already spent my money on blood of the zombis, house of hell and trial of the clones, until now i enjoy all off them and the replayability are quite long. I havent finished all of them I dunno about the total playing time for each gamebook, but for me it's totaly worth it , maybe you could decrease the price a lil bit 4.99 is perfect on my opinion :) Please keep releasing the fighting fantasy series i'll buy all of them :D The extra on the house of zombies is great Maybe you could make extra for every release of ff Maybe abackstory, the making ,or stuff like that Totally instabuy :D
What A fun game/book!
What a great idea! Take the old choose your adventure books from our youth and mix in DnD style combat (and some zombies for good measure). This is basically an Rpg. So you read through the story. Then along the way you'll find items (such as health kits) and weapons. Occasionally you encounter zombies or other bad guys that you'll need to fight. The game uses the stats of the weapon you have and dice rolls to decide combat.
Great book
I really enjoyed this. A lot of play value and replay value. I recommend playing on the medium difficulty. That is plenty hard! I'm surprised the reviews are not better by other readers. I really think this is excellent.
Crash fixed
No problems once I reinstalled and updated.
Does not disappoint
Great addition. Can't wait for more.
Great game book
Excellent game book, Tin Man does it again!
Very good
Nice game, love the zombie style. Can't wait for more great games.
Resident evil+fighting fantasy
This game is pretty good as a fighting fantasy game. It's plot is well written enough for what it's trying to do and it does give you the feeling of isolation and fear. I was kinda tense making decisions and the only real problem I can think of (outside of a few glitches) was that there were some decisions that immediately kill you despite the game hinting that it is the right answer. For example there is a box that you can't open. I had a shotgun. I was told that the only way to open it was to shoot it. It exploded and killed me when I did.
Not as good as the last 3 or 4 books
Not enough dice rolls to determine fate. Feels way too linear to me.
Very disappointing
I liked these kinds of books when I was 12, but I think that's because I cheated. This is the second e-version of an FF book I played, and the first was even worse. Won't be playing any more.
Not worth the high price
Well coded & the graphic design looks great. I just don't think the actual story is well-written or engaging enough, it's comes off like a typical amateur fan fiction novel.
Won't open
I have the same problem the other reviewer has. I bought the game and it won't open, and I specifically bought it in the multi pack for that game:-(
Couldn't wait
I have iPhone 5s and it won't open uninstalled many times and installed and still nothing.,please fix.,I would rather play this than get my 6$ back
