Fighting Fantasy: Citadel of Chaos

Incredible way to introduce role playing game to anyone, very iterative story and interesting ways of moving ahead on it. I love how they pack everything you need in the book, so even the dice rolling is there. Totally worth the price and a great gift.

Yepp, very hard

The Citadel of Chaos is the second book in the successful Fighting Fantasy gamebook series, written by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone. In this medieval style gamebook, you play the part of a wizard/warrior hero, sent to prevent an invasion, by slaying a Dark Sorcerer Warlord called 'Balthus Dire'.In the adventure, you have to journey to Dire's citadel, explore his dastardly maze-like fortress, overcoming traps, hostile fantasy creatures and collecting certain artefacts; which you must find to complete you quest. If you manage to avoid being imprisoned or killed, you can face Balthus Dire in a melodramatic fight to the death.This FF book is not the best one ever written but, without doubt, is an absolute FF classic. The second book in the series, the first one written by Steve on his own, the Citadel of Chaos has all the fresh enthusiasm of a first work. The traps, monsters and situations are original and exciting; a must for all FF readers.Another thing that tipped the balance for me was the wonderfully wicked way Dire keeps putting you down when you confront him in his lair. I have vivid recollections of being branded as an 'impudent peasant' by the shaven headed scourge of Allansia. The ending is especially satisfying, if you get that far that is...

Citadel of Chaos is the second in the wonderful series that is Fighting Fantasy. Here, your job as the star pupil of a powerful wizard, is to slay a malevolent leader that is amassing an army of evil. The introduction of magic into the series is excellent, making many encounters decided by finesse rather than by "boring" hand to hand combat. Personally, I like FF gamebooks that have something in addition to Skill, Stamina and Luck. Typical of many gamebooks, the adventure climaxes in a battle with a powerful foe. However, the book contains many interesting encounters leading up to the final foe that makes it stand out from an ordinary "dungeon romp". All in all, this book is worthy of any Fighting Fantasy collection.

Steve, if you read this review, please email me to help me find this book again and House of Hades as well. They are my most vivid imagination memories probably I will ever have and make me feel great when I think back twelve years or so. [email protected]

The second of these game books. Riding on the back of the fantasy role playing game craze came these interesting books, and plenty more popped up along with them on other topics, from other publishers.They were designed so that all you would need was a pencil and a simple randomiser and be able to carry the whole thing around with you, and introduce the game and chance into it.

Came packed and arrived in perfect condition. I remember playing this gamebook when I was in my 20s and now can play it all over again. I highly recommend this product and Amazon is an amazing place to shop. Top marks and happy gaming everyone :)

Preso come regalo, è stato apprezzato.

Another great book for you to decide the progress.

子供の頃に現代教養文庫から出ていたシリーズに夢中になっていた者です。子供に読ませる英語の本をと探していたときに懐かしさもあり買ってしまいました。結果、子供も大人(私)も楽しんでいます。デジタルゲームも良いですが、古い人間としては子供たちには一度はペンとノートを手に自分で地図を書きながらのアナログゲームに触れて欲しいですね。

This is the first of many that i will buy, so long as i can find new ones. they have changed the way my son reads and I am very happy for that! The fun part is once you're finished reading this book, you can start over again and not have the same outcome, so it can be read over and over
