It's surprisingly engrossing stuff, the economically written narrative packing in masses of detail, while rattling out a pacey, involving story." - THE GUARDIAN"Gamebook Adventures are fun to read – not just because the RPG mechanic draws you in and engages you in the story, but also because the stories are good fantasy fiction. The artwork is great and there is a great deal of replayability in the application, especially when you consider the hundreds of choices that can be made and the various difficulties." - WIRED.COM"After finally making my way through the series’ newest release, I’m somewhat ashamed that I’ve waited so long to take the plunge..." - 148APPS"Even though Fighting Fantasy books have nearly a 30 year lead on the recently released Gamebook Adventures, the team at Tin Man Games have put together an equally remarkable and entirely original virtual game book for the iPhone." - TOUCH ARCADE"I was both surprised and delighted to find that An Assassin in Orlandes delivered one of the most engaging iOS gaming experiences I’ve had to date." - GAMEZEBO•Includes all the interactive reading and gameplay features found in the previous Gamebook Adventures titles. •Read the story and dictate the direction of the story!

    ut Tin Man has not only managed to give me nostalgic sustenance from a game genre of my childhood, they've succeeded in making the adventure game book genre more fun that it's ever been.

    A splendidly written interactive fantasy story that, unlucky dice rolls aside, will keep you hooked until the very end.

    For those who enjoyed the Fighting Fantasy series, this is essentially a digital version of the same thing. It most likely will only appeal to fans as its random nature and tough difficulty will put off those just looking to enjoy the story.
