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. 1075eedd30

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)
. 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.. I still have a lot of the Fighting Fantasy books from when I was a kid, and to see them in a new format is a joy.

Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the series, The Forest of Doom is a real gem.

I look forward to seeing more adaptaions, especially if they're as well done as this one.

10\/10. First up I am very pleased to see these books getting re-released as computer games, and a reasonable price too!
There are some technical issues at the moment (dice rolling off the screen, dice falling 'into the distance', potions vanishing), but generally a solid implementation.

Regarding The Forest Of Doom specifically though, I just didn't find it a good Fighting Fantasy book personally; you have to hit no less than 4 specific locations getting through the forest in order to actually complete the game - and you cannot go backwards, so if you choose any of the 3-4 other parallel routes for any key location then your game is a bust.

This wouldn't be so bad if other routes were deathtraps or other endings, but the book\/game is fully fleshed out with other encounters so it feels like you are actually making headway... only till you reach the end and it summarily declares you failed and get an arrow in the head.

I just don't like this model of Fighting Fantasy personally, and much prefer the books were you are heading towards an actual finale and the challenge is in getting there & getting there in a fit state for the last challenge.. And I'm 12 again, on an autumn afternoon, drinking root beer and having fun in an Ian LIvingstone story and - it's wonderful. Trust no one and let the dice fall where they may!

Pros:
+ Kept true to the original paper book
+ Beautifully done graphica and animation
+ I can't fault the playability. I just know I'm going to be playing this through several times. :)

Cons:
- There aren't anymore of these yet (that I know of at the time of writing this)
- The only other con is that I can't sing the praises of this game loud enough to do it justice. :P

Best $13AUD I've spent. Highly recommended and I can't wait to purchase future games based on the other Ian Livingstone \/ Steve Jackson books. I eagerly await them!. I still have a lot of the Fighting Fantasy books from when I was a kid, and to see them in a new format is a joy.

10\/10. The Forest of Doom,

Is just as the description states a "create your own adventure" book. That means you have to read through the entire adventure and from time to time there's an image that's relevant to the situation.

If you don't like reading, then you should stay away from this game, otherwise, if you like visual novels and rpg's; go buy it. It's worth it.

Depending on how you play, the game can be rather challenging, but satisfying. There's a lot of combat and many treasures to be found. Some may aid you and some may.., well, do something else.

An important thing about this game is that it stands or falls with your own imagination. It's just as good as your fantasy and as such it's rather complicated to say if it's a good or bad game.
For my own taste I say it's a good game and fun to play.
