Review - Touchmyapps.comI have been a huge fan of the electronic “RPG novel” genre. This latest variant is actually based on the Fighting Fantasy book of the same name. This update to the classic novel has been lovingly crafted by the folks that produced the iOS version of the Fabled Lands gamebooks. More than a reprint, the iOS version contains new twists and turns to the original story. It also employs the same rules and battle system that exists in the Fabled Lands apps. An epic score, immersive sound effects and hand drawn, hi-res art bring the world to life. Welcome to the new age of interactive fiction.Review - Appadvice.comThe story is well written and fits perfectly within the gamebook genre! Much of the artwork is beautifully rendered. STORY Vognar Keep has fallen to a deadly foe. The safety of the northern continent of the Fabled Lands is threatened once more by the forces of Evil! After two centuries of peace the dark necromancer, Lord Nydaedus of Hagor, has returned from the grave to rekindle the flames of war with his own legions of foul undead warriors. YOU are a mercenary, battle hardened and cunning. You will need all your skills if you are to penetrate Vognar Keep and destroy the threat to the land. Many dangers lie ahead and your success is by no means certain. Powerful adversaries are ranged against you, and it's up to YOU to decide which route to follow, which dangers to risk and which foes to fight! FEATURES: * Fantasy 2D RPG/Gamebook gameplay * New story twists - not simply a re-print of the Keep of the Lich-Lord Fighting Fantasy gamebook * Almost a hundred high resolution colour artworks, animated and optimized for your iPhone or iPod Touch * Collect rare magical items for your inventory * Play as the Rogue or Paladin * Rules and battle system based on our successful Fabled Lands apps by Megara Entertainment * Wonderfully orchestrated score and immersive sound effects * Accessible character sheet at all times during reading which auto updates * In-game map More reviews from our users: "Loving this and though as a stand alone experience it's fantastic. Don't hesitate to try the Fabled Lands 1 and 2 iOS apps by Megara Entertainment. The series is so engaging and has some great gameplay that will give you many hours of fun, and enthrall you. I know it's sucked me in hook, line, and sinker. Hope they continue to release adventure games like this." "Megara has done a great job translating this old Fighting Fantasy gamebook - they've created all new art and music to accompany this version, and are presenting it using their Fabled Lands engine. If you enjoy gamebooks, you owe it to yourself to pick this up!" "This Fighting Fantasy port by Megara is obviously done with a lot of love and labor. It's a worthy standalone by all means. If you like gamebooks, The Keep of the Lich-Lord is not to be missed. If you've never tried a gamebook, this is a perfect place to start!"

But I would still like to play my 7 dollar, crappy game. Or at least know that I would be able to if I wanted to. The dumb thing is they pulled an app and replaced it with...the same app. The pulled version offered the second half as an iap; they pulled it and replaced it with an all in one app. But they didn't replace it the way they should have; linking the app id's so ppl who purchased the original would be redirected to the new version if they searched for the app. Once burned, twice shy (yeah, I know, I hate cliches too) Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #5 Appletini, Jun 10, 2013 That was to replace an app with an "upgraded" version that included both available books, which, while annoying in that case, isn't going to happen with this one. That said, this particular game is probably more useful as an example of what can result if you take the gamebook format and try to expand beyond the conventions, but lack vision and only go halfway with it. Compare this to Sorcery!, which demonstrates rather well what happens when you get an overhaul right. Lich Lord: Sorcery!: Skall Well-Known Member Oct 25, 2009 500 60 28 #6 Skall, Jun 12, 2013 I just bought it and i am very disappointed by the lack of polish of this game (touch function not accurate, cannot skip text, having some excellent artworks but most of them are not that good or terrible..., fight is just smashing the screen without understanding what is happening, cannot remove the rumble mode during fights, ...) And game unfinishable with the paladin (3 big fights in a row + a luck event + riddle event...) which is very frustrating and which doesnt want to give it another chance with the rogue. Well i feel i lost 1 usd and cannot advice to buy this game~ oooooomonkey Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 6,307 0 0 Forge World #7 oooooomonkey, Jun 12, 2013 Hmm I just check the App Store and the original fabled lands has reappeared in my purchased list? That's happened lately with all the old fighting fantasy books form big blue bubble too.
