The interactive gamebook series Fighting Fantasy, which has achieved worldwide fame, is back in celebration of its 30th anniversary with Blood of the Zombies, available on iOS with the collaboration of authors Ian Livingstone and Tin Man Games. In this adventurous game, you will face the challenges of stopping Gingrich Yurr, an insane megalomaniac that desires to unleash monstrous zombies upon the world. The decisions you make will decide the fate of the world, so be prepared for a life-or-death adventure where survival is key. Pocket Gamer rated Blood of the Zombies with 9 out of 10 and awarded it the gold award. Meanwhile, Gamezebo considers this game with a rating of 4.5 out of 5 as a great candidate for the app treatment due to its speedy combat and built-in adversity.

The digital gamebook features new death endings written by Ian Livingstone, which are exclusive to the app and not available in the print book. Kevin Crossley, the illustrator, colorised his amazing illustrations, while Martin McKenna, another Fighting Fantasy favorite, added alternate artwork to unlock. Throughout the gamebook, you can find achievements with full Game Center connectivity, and decide the difficulty level that suits you best. There's even a cheat mode that will allow you to read it “old-school” and a cover that comes to life with animation by Greg Staples. Blood of the Zombies has been brought to life on iOS devices using Tin Man Games’ Gamebook Adventures Engine version. This engine brings a range of exciting features, including an automated Adventure Sheet that allows players to keep track of stats and inventory, realistic physics-based dice rolling, and a bookmarking system that saves your place just like a paperback. There's also a specially composed soundtrack and sound effects that create a great atmosphere while you immerse yourself in the game. Lastly, note that Tin Man Games has signed a licensing deal to release the whole Fighting Fantasy series on iOS, so expect to see more of your favorite adventure gamebooks appearing on the App Store!
