Our Expert Score

83/100

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.

Create your own adventures in a dangerous land of monsters, treasures and traps. From renowned authors Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone (co-founders of Games Workshop) and Nomad Games, Fighting Fantasy Legends is a role-playing card game set in the world of Fighting Fantasy.

Travel across the land of Allansia with just a sword and some gold to your name and rise up to Legendary status. Play through the stories of three iconic gamebooks - City of Thieves, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain and Citadel of Chaos.

Each location has a shuffled deck of cards which includes fiendish creatures, powerful objects and dramatic events. You must build up your collection of powerful treasures and level-up your dice to have any chance of surviving the dangerous streets of Port Blacksand, the murky depths of Firetop Mountain or the looming shadows of The Citadel.

The world needs a Hero... you will give them a Legend.
