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) Free Download [License] 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.. As an avid Fighting Fantasy and Gamebook collector, I was very pleased to see that this was available on Steam and purchased it during the Halloween Sale. Playing the game was both a nostalgic delight and a fun, exciting interactive experience slightly reminiscent of playing "Citadel of Chaos" on the C64 many years ago. TinMan Games have done a fantastic job of reproducing Ian Livingstone's classic extremely faithfully; I was able to find my old maps and utilise them to complete the game in around an hour. Combat rolls are represented with actual dice; white for the player and red for the monsters, enabling a quickly understood and resolved outcome. The musical track is suitably atmospheric and doesn't outlive its welcome. I very much like the inclusion of a "Hardcore mode" for experienced players where no provisions are allowed and initial player statistic rolls are lessened. (You get only 1d6+4 for your skill stat for example...) this added a dimension of challenge to a familiar story. However, amusingly I ran into a bug at the encounter with "Quin the Arm-Wrestler" and found myself with 68 stamina going into the next encounters, which trivialised reaching the conclusion of the book. It was a pleasure to support the developers and I look forward to seeing more of their work. Recommended to Gamebook, Fighting Fantasy fans and those looking for an interactive reading and single player role-playing experience.. 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.. I have mixed feelings about this title. On one hand, it's got your standard D&D style story and it feels very rewarding when you have the right item for a given situation or when you win a round of combat.On the other... Losing 20 consecutive dice rolls is NOT cool. (I'm talking to you, Ape Man).It's cheap and shallow with almost no strategy involed, but opened my eyes to the existence of gamebooks (I was born in 1991). I cannot say I regret the purchase at full price. Just don't expect it to blow your mind and appreciate it for the cultural value.. 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 have mixed feelings about this title. On one hand, it's got your standard D&D style story and it feels very rewarding when you have the right item for a given situation or when you win a round of combat.On the other... Losing 20 consecutive dice rolls is NOT cool. (I'm talking to you, Ape Man).It's cheap and shallow with almost no strategy involed, but opened my eyes to the existence of gamebooks (I was born in 1991). I cannot say I regret the purchase at full price. Just don't expect it to blow your mind and appreciate it for the cultural value.. 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. Hurry! Get Faerie Solitaire Harvest while it's still on launch discount!: https://store.steampowered.com/app/348910/Faerie_Solitaire_Harvest/If you loved the original Faerie Solitaire you will probably love this new game too!Save 10% on FSH until the 29th!Want a peek at some of the new pets in FSH? Hover the spoiler tag!Oooo, shiny!. 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.
