What Makes Deathtrap Dungeon Trilogy Stand Out
Play through three classic Fighting Fantasy gamebooks by author Ian Livingstone – Deathtrap Dungeon, Trial of Champions and Armies of Death.
Start as a novice adventurer and rise up through the ranks in these epic tales of deadly traps, fearsome monsters and devious adversaries. Relive these exciting adventures in a whole new way – by powering up your Skill and Luck dice and collecting powerful cards to help you on your quests. Featuring a detailed branching narrative system and multiple difficulty levels, relive these classic adventures like never before!
In Deathtrap Dungeon, step into the most deadly labyrinth of all… Countless adventurers before you have taken up the challenge, but none have survived. Devised by the devilish mind of Baron Sukumvit, the labyrinth is riddled with fiendish traps and hideous creatures of darkness to trick and test you almost beyond the limits of endurance!
The warped, twisted mind of Baron Sukumvit has completely redesigned the deadly labyrinth of Fang. in The Trial of Champions, new traps and terrors, mazes and monsters await you at every turn. And even before you can enter the labyrinth, you must endure the gladiatorial games of Lord Carnuss, the Baron's evil brother. Can you survive this trial of Champions?
In Armies of Death, Agglax the Shadow Demon is amassing an army of undead warriors to conquer Allansia… and only you can stop him! Commanding an army of over two hundred veteran fighters, you must journey east to meet the enemy head-on. But the Shadow Demon is not of this world and no mere mortal weapons will be enough to destroy him. You’ll need to act quickly, as the longer you spend searching for these powers the stronger he will be.

Community Insight:
We purchased ALL the Fighting Fantasy game books in the Nomad app but now that Asmodee Portal is released does that we mean we have to purchase them again in the Portal app? Can we not transfer purchases from all the game books purchased in the Nomad version? This was allowed for the Talisman games. Sent from our iPad.
Ok, the false exit that was an insta kill in the story now is a fight over and over until you die. The developers say this is so you can get XP out of it. Just know this so you dont use Stamina potions and the like thinking you have a chance of survival…its a waste. Still a fun game.
We cannot complete The second book. It is much too hard. We have gone through it about 30 times looking for all the rings, and cannot find more than eight. Im not sure how many you need, but if we remember right the book needed 10. We swear Ive tried every path every choice, but we are giving up. There are so many instadeaths, that we are afraid to experiment going to an instadeath that maybe we can pass now with a new item. Usually we just die again. And after you die nine times its game over, lose everything and start over again. Thats happened now three times to us, and sadly Im done. And the way its structured we cant get to the third book. If there is a solution guide published by the developer. Somewhere we wouldnt be upset, but without one we feel like Ive been ripped off somewhat as we cant get to that third book.
We dont mind difficult games, but one like this where you do it over and over and over and over is truly awful. We completed death trap dungeon. We did not enjoy it. You have to start from the very beginning sooooo many times. Just…painful. We refused to give up, and finished the first one but no way am we starting the next one. Two stars just for the nostalgia. Otherwise one. Nothing is ever as awesome as you remember it from when you were a kid.
The original Fighting Fantasy Legends was great, if a bit short. For some insane reason, someone made the terrible design decision that they should combine interactive fiction with a roguelike. Who would ever want to play that? Judging from the number of downloads we guess the answer is: no one.
