About This Game Only the foolhardy would risk an encounter with the unknown perils that lurk in the murky depths of Darkwood Forest. Yet there is no alternative, for your quest is a desperate race against time to find the missing pieces of the legendary Hammer of Stonebridge – fashioned by Dwarfs to protect the villagers of Stonebridge against their ancient doom.Computer gaming was in its infancy and it was the early days of tabletop RPGs when Ian Livingstone's The Forest of Doom exploded into bookshops in the early 80s, proudly displaying Iain McCaig’s iconic cover.Relive the adventures in Darkwood Forest, lovingly updated for PC, Mac and Linux. Presented in full colour with realistic physics-based dice rolling for battles, auto-mapping, an auto-updated adventure sheet and stat keeping.This Standalone edition of The Forest of Doom gamebook comes specially themed to suit the adventure. The Forest of Doom is also available to purchase within the Fighting Fantasy Classics library. Please note that purchasing one does not unlock the other and will need to be re-purchased if desired in the other format. a09c17d780 Title: The Forest of Doom (Standalone)Genre: Adventure, Indie, RPGDeveloper:Tin Man GamesPublisher:Tin Man GamesFranchise:Fighting FantasyRelease Date: 30 Oct, 2014 The Forest Of Doom (Standalone) Crack Only An adventure to be had!Worth a couple of hours full of adventure through a forest that almost took my life several times over in hard core mode.A short book but It'll be one that I actually read. More over very action packed and leaves you to think before you choose.Dice rules stick to the classic.Although the book doesn't have many visual on several other beasts, you could add custom visuals for the game itself.For those of you who do not like to manually save your game I suggest you Free Read mode (Cheats). If Fighting Fantasy was such an amazing series, perhaps minds will be blown when these fans read Joe Dever's works - most of his Lone Wolf CYOA books are available for free online (legit) with his permission, so there's no reason to be wasting money on what is a rather bland story and CYOA game here.If you are a hardcore Fighting Fantasy fan, or just kupo for the CYOA genre in general, then yeah there's fun to be found here, but this a book that can be read in 10-15 minutes flat and really shows its age for the type of game it is. Pick it up on sale if you must, but don't expect award-winning writing here.. While this game could have easily coasted by on nostaglia, I'm very impressed with the work that went into the presentation. Where do I start? The music is decent - not my cup of tea, though some may enjoy it (it's certainly thematic). All of the old artwork has been not only retained, but enhanced with color, and (in the case of the main menu screen, and perhaps others I haven't seen yet) subtle animation. The parchment-style rendering of the text is a nice touch.The interface is easy to use, and the creators understand their users. The game supports the use of unlimited bookmarks to simulate how you used your fingers back in the old days! The graphics and sound effects further enhance the atmosphere of the game, although they aren't obtrusive on what is simply a text-based game. The game comes with extras written by co-creator Ian Livingstone himself, about the history of Fighting Fantasy and the creation of Forest of Doom.Anyway, I appreciate the TLC that Tin Man and Livingstone brought to the project. I hope this makes enough money that we see more of these. I can't wait until Deathtrap Dungeon, Freeway Fighter, and other alliterative titles are released! Also, the Sorcery! series...keep em coming, guys.. Forest of Doom is a gamebook originally released as a paperback in the 80's under the Fighting Fantasy Gamebook series. The game mechanics, text and all of the art from the book itself is intact and laid out very well along with some music to set the mood (which can be turned off).For those who are not familiar with gamebooks, they are literally a cross between Dungeons & Dragons and Choose Your Own Adventure books. You "play" the game while reading the book and choosing different paths with usually a goal to reach in the end. You roll up stats for your character: Skill, Stamina and Luck and also keep track of your equipment on a character sheet. An automap is also featured and very helpful on subsequent playthroughs, because beating these books on the first try is extremely rare. Combat is done by rolling dice adding your Skill score and comparing it to the creatures result. Higher score hits. This is repeated until someone wins. Other factors come into combat as well...items, luck, escaping, multiple enemies etc. The game can be quite difficult in later parts of the game when creatures tend to be a lot tougher but by then the hero is usually quite capable for themselves.Most books tell a typical D&D like story and sometimes items or quests are involved to resolve a mystery or defeat some evil foe. The books were quite popular in the 80's and have had a recent resurgence, these games originally appeared on tablets and only now are making their way onto Steam.As a final note, I can't recommend these games enough especially for old school RPG players out there. There's nothing quite like sitting down for the night to unwind and relax and playing\\reading these on a big screen TV....along with a nice bonus...achievements! A dream come true for me. Excelsior!. A good on-screen production of one of the iconic Fighting Fantasy gamebooks.This game is set in the FF continent of Allansia and you must travel to the dangerous Darkwood Forest to find both pieces of a fabled hammer, then return it to the dwarves in Stonebridge.Ian Livingstone's original book has really been brought to life here. The game is exactly as it woz (all those years ago!) and not only are the original b&w artworks here, but full colour versions as well. The nostalgic feel of the game is spot-on.There are options for background music and sound effects, as well as a great series of 31 achievements ranging from difficult to amusing. There are also Steam trading cards for this game.Unlike many FF games this one has an interesting mechanism which helps if you have missed items simply by taking the wrong route and are unable to complete the quest. At the end of the forest you are able to return to the start, with some (but not all) things retained, to try a new route.This game is not particularly combat heavy, but does require specific path choices to find certain info and items required to succeed.TinManGames have produced five of the original FF games as standalone titles (more about them elsewhere) and this is a very nice adaption.. Really true to the source material and full of nostalgia. Sad to see a typo a few pages in. Check your work, people! Check it SO many times. Other than that, a pet peev admittedly, a beautiful rendition of a fantastic gamebook. There's also an 'about' section in the extras that tells you about the creators. Very cool.. Couldn't throw my money at this product quickly enough. This series of books defined recreation during my childhood 30+ years ago. I have no idea whether or not this product would be appealing to someone who lacks the nostalgic bliss that I have regarding this series, as it is basically a CYOA book with some 'lite roleplaying' concepts borrowed form tabletop gaming. Dice, stats, equipment tracking...all of these things are faithfully recreated here along with the original artwork. But for people in a certain age bracket or for younger gamers who want a taste of how we amused ourselves before the advent of the internet and couldn't get a DnD group together...this is a perfect taste of the FF gamebooks of yore..

I wanted to like this game, but I simply cannot. I loved the good old series fighting fantasy books by livingstone, however, I feel the devs have chosen a really poor book to begin with as the writing is too simplistic and predictable. Warlock of firetop mountain was always one of the favorites among fans of these books and would've captivated many more people than what this forest of doom could, deathtrap dungeon, even city of thieves.The game uses unity engine which seems unecessary, adds very little originality to the book it is based on, illustrations are low res, theres very little content for its price tag, and the music is absolutely godawful. The music was an extreme annoyance to me as I was trying to read the book and concentrate on the narrative when the music is just blaring trumpets into my ears, I had to mute the music because it never stopped being loud. I think if the devs put some thought into this game and think about how they can bring an old adventure book into the attention of modern pc gamers, they could achieve delivering a great experience to their customers. Also, warlock of firetop mountain is just a much better story.However, if you;re looking for a game based on an adventure book then I would recommend looking at Joe Dever's Lone Wolf game which is also on steam for a similar price but is considerably superior.. Although I recommend this game for its fun and unique storytelling, I must include a word of warning.This game is short. Although you'll undoubtably have to play it through four or five times before you see everything, it's still a very short game with little content. The creatures are stereotypical of this genre, but you must remember this is based on an old novel from the days of D&D. We didn't have the crazy monsters which we have now.I'm not sure if the game is worth the money I paid, even if that amount was lower due to a Steam sale. I expected this game to be as long as a Tolkien novel with thousands of different paths and events. This is more like a single chapter.In the end, I do recommend it for a quick play through, but wish I had referenced the game before purchasing. At least to the game's credit it offers a free-roaming option so that I may re-read every possible option without fighting.

Become a Patron at any amount to get instant access as we publish new previews!). New 2018 Beta: A new better late than never version is on the 2018 beta branch. You will need to switch to this "2018_beta" branch to play this update. Once enough people confirm that it works as intended I will graduate it to live.If you play this please give feedback on if you notice it being better. Maybe create a new profile to test with if you feel up to it.The changes specifically: * The chance for all eggs to drop is much higher now. Shouldn't be too high to make the egg hunt unfun, but let me know if it's too high or not.* After you purchase the Tree of Life powerup the drop rates for eggs go even higher to prevent the need for endless grind. So if you already have Tree of Life powerup unlocked you can enjoy the even higher rates. There is no tool tip for the powerup for this effect but it is in game.* Egg shop removed. It's more fun to get eggs in game than buy them.If you previously played but never got the last egg achievements and lost your save (or played the older beta with egg shop and got a glitch) you can download this save to use to complete the last two achivements: https://www.subsoap.com/temp/FaerieSolitaireClassicSavegame.zipPut the files in the folder in the zip in your C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Faerie SolitaireThis update is unfortunately still only for Windows for technical reasons. It would be possible to make new Mac/Linux builds but I will need to rewrite some of the dependencies this version of the game uses which have only Windows versions. Maybe in 2019.For anyone who got all of the eggs in the original version, just know you beat RNGesus.This is still not the final update to this classic version but I'm still pressed for time so I'll have to budget more time in 2019 to make some more changes and quality of life updates before the final update for this game is released.I still also encourage people to play the Remastered version once we get the engine rework released for it. Should be Soon(TM).. Faerie Solitaire Cards Repaint: First repaint of the cards is done (I've been wanting to do this for over a year+): http://i.imgur.com/KpO3I.pngNote: The sizes of the art on the top are the full sizes, but they will be scaled down a bit to the bottom sizes so that they fit better on the cards. This art is not final. If you see anything which bugs you please let me know so I can fix it. I see a bunch of stuff which I want to improve on, but overall I'm pleased with the improvements.New full size is 750x1070 vs the old full size of 75x107. These cards are 75x107. The new full sized cards will make it possible to display the cards in game at larger sizes without losing detail. Also, I made sure to paint them at a large enough size to allow me to get some real decks of cards printed! :D As soon as I get the cards perfect I'll make it possible to buy real decks of FS cards for a limited of time.
