** REVIEWS **

“Blood of the Zombies is a hugely enjoyable, brilliantly presented, hilariously violent romp. If this is your first gamebook or your 30th, you’re going to have a whale of a time.” – POCKET GAMER - 9/10 - GOLD AWARD!

“…its speedy combat and inbuilt adversity make it a great candidate for the app treatment. A skilled app designer and an experienced author have collaborated and managed the rare feat of creating something greater than the sum of their individual talents.” - GAMEZEBO - 4.5/5

“Ultimately, fans of the old stories should enjoy Blood of the Zombies. It delivers an authentic Fighting Fantasy experience while updating the gameplay and style in its own way. ” – STARBURST - 8/10

“…for those looking for an interesting storyline and a delightful walk down memory lane, it’s a sterling effort and one that very much deserves its asking price. I’m already looking forward to other Fighting Fantasy/Tin Man Games collaborations.” – 148 APPS - 4.5/5 – EDITOR’S CHOICE!

“Beautifully presented, a little campy but oh-so-worth that walk down memory lane, Blood of the Zombies will not go amiss in your library of interactive iOS-based tales.” – TOUCH ARCADE - 4/5

### 4/5 — Kill zombies!

*2017-08-06, version 1.6168*

Surprisingly, I don't think I ever read any of these books when I was young, which is too bad as I would loved them. 

This newest book in the series is really fun. Very simple to learn and fun to read. Do hardcore from the start as the save mechanism creates a "load" system from anywhere in the game.

Only issue I had was near the beginning you can buy a bunch of stuff and if you don't the right stuff, you'll end up reloading from all the way here. Let me save you some pain, get the hacksaw and the steel hook.

### 1/5 — App won't load

*2016-06-29, version 1.4673*

No support

### 1/5 — Couldn't wait

*2016-06-25, version 1.4673*

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

### 4/5 — Resident evil+fighting fantasy

*2016-06-22, version 1.4673*

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.

### 1/5 — Won't open

*2016-04-17, version 1.4673*

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:-(

### 1/5 — Fix

*2016-03-16, version 1.4673*

App won't load since March 11th 2016 bug fix update... seemed fine before though. Recommend the others in the series, very good.

### 5/5 — Great book

*2016-01-26, version 1.30*

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.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2015-03-06, version 1.30*

This game is not worth 6 dollars, I'm my opinion it should be worth about 2 dollars. For a amature multiple choice game

### 5/5 — Crash fixed

*2015-02-26, version 1.30*

No problems once I reinstalled and updated.

### 5/5 — Great game book

*2014-03-23, version 1.2*

Excellent game book, Tin Man does it again!
