Wish it was easier to retrace your steps, miss one thing and it is the end. Still stuck in the maze in the Warlock of Firetop Mountain. ### 1/5 — Purchases are temporary? *2025-03-02* Purchased house of hell. Played it. Went to play it an hour later, but I had to repurchase? It’s going to cost money every time I play? Too expensive!!! ### 1/5 — App won’t load *2025-02-27, version 2.006* This app won’t get past the loading screen. ### 5/5 — Nostalgia Heaven - New Comer’s Delight *2024-12-28* I remember these back in the day. I loved mine. Only had a couple but went through them endlessly. When I got older and had kids, bought a couple for my son. He tried them but lost interest quick as it just didn’t hold his attention like modern gaming. That was about 10 years ago. Fast forward to present day. Cleaning out his nightstand and found the “Citadel of Chaos”. Picked up and started playing/reading again. Still loved it. Looking for an easy/modern “Adventure sheet” thinking that surely with todays tech there has got to be something automated out there. Did a web search, found a few things, then searched the App Store….WOW….JACKPOT!!! My friends….let me tell you, if you ever had ANY small inkling with these books in the past then this app is a no brainer. If you were even remotely curious about these books then there is no better way to get started than this app. If you are a new comer looking for an old school narrative adventure. Then I am delighted to tell you…your search is over. This app has done this experience perfect. PERFECT!!! It is so awesome. Old school feel with all the convenience of modern tech. Bravo to the developers, they couldn’t have done no better. So many cool little touches like atmospheric background music and effects to smooth old school dice combat with a modern touch. Works perfectly. Adventure sheet is lit!! So Awesome! Bookmarks to save your progress. They thought of everything!! Comes with one free adventure, and the books of the past can be purchased for 2.99 a piece! A steal!!! Bought Citadel of Chaos straight away and started my adventure. The developer has successfully created the experience I had as when I first played as a kid. So awesome. Thank you for that. Friends…do not hesitate, do not doubt. Download now and let the adventure begin!!! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2024-10-03, version 1.470* Love this compilation of classic fighting fantasy books. Only wish is that it would be updated more. Have nearly 60 FF books available. Wish we had many more of the earlier books in this app ### 3/5 — Good, almost great *2024-09-30* The best parts of this experience is how it evokes the feeling of the original books. But that’s also probably it’s biggest drawback, too. Flipping pages is interesting to start, but grows tedious over time when I’m used to simply scrolling my text like I’ve done everywhere else for years. The stat sheet is interesting, but to have to “pull it out” to see more items like inventory took a while to figure out. Thankfully, the app does offer some interesting items like auto-map generation that you’d otherwise have to do manually. Having to create your character through the intro pages of the book is slow and unintuitive, probably best broken out into its own “character creation” screen per book. And I’m kinda shocked that the app doesn’t have ANY achievements, which take advantage of the digital format. Ex: Make it through a book successfully, unlock an alternate cover image. Make it through a book without rerolling your character, unlock new flair for you avatar. There’s a deep well here to draw from. The thing is I get that nostalgia and intricacy can make for a compelling download, but to have me coming back to look for new books to buy means I have to really enjoy the experience, and there are just a lot of modern niceties that a digital device allows for that this app doesn’t take advantage of, relying mostly on the “how can we make this look like a teenager trying to play this on their overcrowded desk in their room at home.” Which has its place, don’t get me wrong. I just wish there was a more modern mode too. ### 5/5 — Translation *2024-06-11* Fantastic app but it will be very nice to have localized version. I’m French and I miss the translation. I bought several books and I hope for free update. ### 1/5 — Poorly executed *2024-06-05* Full of bugs, poorly developed. Does not serve well the original books and clunky to use. Better to purchase either the real ones or the epub format. ## Frequently asked questions about Fighting Fantasy Classics ### What kind of games are in Fighting Fantasy Classics?
