Crypt of Sorcerer Joins Fighting Fantasy Classics

Tin Man Games has resurrected the notorious Crypt of the Sorcerer on mobile—the legendary Fighting Fantasy gamebook penned by Ian Livingstone. Originally released in 1987, this brutal adventure continues to challenge courageous readers. Beware: the sinister Razaak shows no mercy!

An Ancient Evil Awakens!

A dreadful presence has returned to Allansia. The long-deceased sorcerer Razaak has risen from his tomb to complete his dark mission. His vow of tyranny and annihilation looms over the land once more.

With Chaos spreading across Allansia, you must defy impossible odds to locate the only weapon capable of defeating Razaak. Armed with wards against his dark magic, you'll confront him in his dreaded stronghold—the Crypt of the Sorcerer.

Modern Enhancements for a Classic Horror

The mobile version introduces several smart additions. A difficulty setting offers a slightly gentler experience, while Free Read mode allows you to explore the story without constant peril. A dynamic mapping system now tracks your journey across multiple playthroughs.

Fans of the 1987 original will recognize Les Edwards' haunting Puffin cover art, along with John Sibbick’s atmospheric black-and-white illustrations.

New quality-of-life features include an automated Adventure Sheet that monitors your stats, inventory, and pivotal choices. Unlimited bookmarks mean you can retry challenging sections endlessly.

A Treacherous Dungeon of Peril and Choice

Fighting Fantasy Classics on Android delivers these gamebooks in fully interactive form, complete with dice-rolling mechanics. The collection spans over 15 titles, from classic dungeon-crawlers to horror and sci-fi adventures.

Priced at $3.99, Crypt of the Sorcerer is available via the Fighting Fantasy Classics app on Google Play. While the app itself is free, gamebooks are sold individually or in bundles.
