Fighting Fantasy Legends brings the classic gamebooks of Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson to life as a card-based role-playing game. Journey through Allansia, encounter deadly monsters, and navigate treacherous traps. Collect cards and upgrade your dice to survive the perils of 'The Warlock of Firetop Mountain', 'City of Thieves', and 'The Citadel of Chaos'.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Fighting Fantasy Legends is a wonderful love letter to the classic gamebooks by Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson. It successfully translates the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' feel into a digital card-based RPG. The luck of the dice is still here, but with a clever system where you can upgrade your dice to increase your odds.
The game world—encompassing iconic locations like Allansia and the City of Thieves—is beautifully rendered in an old-school tabletop style. It’s quite difficult, staying true to the punishing nature of the original books, but that makes every successful quest feel earned. For fans of old-school fantasy and deck-building mechanics, this is a must-play.
Features
Based on multi-million selling books
Character leveling system
Permadeath and difficulty modes
Authentic Fighting Fantasy lore
Tips & Walkthrough
Focus on upgrading your 'Skill' and 'Stamina' dice early. Each time you level up a die, it reduces the chance of rolling a 'fail' (cross), which is essential for surviving the later boss fights.
Gameplays
Travel across the continent using a card-flipping mechanic. Each card represents an encounter—ranging from combat and NPCs to world-building events and traps.

It’s a board game but...
Sun Jul 05 2020 RM ViceIf you treat this game like a board game, it does what it says regardless of previous comments that say it’s hard. I was more interested in the portion stating you can create your own game, very incorrect statement. This game allows you to choose your own path. I’ll be requesting a refund once I get my receipt.
I loved this game
Tue Mar 20 2018 PgrfilmsIt’s an odd one. There’s a built in problem with the game where when you die, you take injuries which cost money to heal but also make it easier to die. Two hints and then the game is waaay more fun. First, don’t worry about hit points, max out your luck and attack. Second, cheat a little. Go gamble with the strong man in the thief’s city, you can double your gold there and if you lose, immediately quit the game and manually shut it down, then replay until you double your gold. Once you’re past that, and have a little gold to spare, the game dynamic becomes super fun. It’s still hard, just not impossibly so! And the writing of the game and story is a lot of fun.
Way way too hard
Tue Mar 20 2018 Martymart76Seriously. I used to play original DND way back in the 80s. This game is harder than anything I’ve played. Hard enough to make it just not fun. Failing every single luck and skill check gets very old -really- fast. Everything you do hurts you. Every roll you fail costs a severe price. Curses. Injuries. No ways to remove them. They don’t wear off apparently. Just constant dice rolling over and over and over and failing over and over and over. Save your time and play something else. Unless this game gets some balancing done to it I’m gonna refund it.
Will not download
Wed Mar 21 2018 SanguiloPraetorisStuck eternally on update 4/6 ("downloading better sound effects and graphics"). Freezes every time. Do not buy until fixed. Waste of several hours just trying to get it to work.
What now?
Tue Mar 20 2018 derbyguy6908So I did the first set of quests and now there is nothing to do, no new cities or quests. Waste of money don’t buy
Lame but has potential
Sat Jan 04 2020 Come on, man!!!You constantly meet enemies to fight, yet pretty much have no way of healing. Die. Start again.... but with no health. Die again. Repeat. See how lame that sounds? That’s the summary of the game. I’ll be deleting it now and not buying any more of their games. Tip to developers. Increase the number of opportunities to re-heal or pick up potions to store to use later to heal.... so you can actually last in the game.
