Crypt of the Sorcerer Launches July 31st in Fighting Fantasy Classics

Razaak Rises Again in One of the Deadliest Gamebooks Ever Written

Melbourne, Australia – Tin Man Games is thrilled to announce the digital release of Crypt of the Sorcerer, a legendary Fighting Fantasy adventure from series co-creator Ian Livingstone, launching July 31st on Steam (PC/Mac), App Store (iOS), and Google Play (Android).
 
Originally published in 1987, Crypt of the Sorcerer is renowned for its brutal difficulty, oppressive dungeon-crawling atmosphere, and unforgettable villainy. Now, for the first time, players can experience this classic in fully interactive digital form, with enhanced features designed to help (or torment) them through one of Allansia’s most unforgiving gauntlets.
 
“An ancient evil is stirring... The long-dead sorcerer Razaak has been reawakened and seeks to plunge the world into death and tyranny. YOU alone must journey into his lair, gather enchanted relics, and face the Forces of Chaos in a final showdown with the sorcerer himself.”
 
This digital release is the 20th title in the ever-expanding Fighting Fantasy Classics collection, which already features iconic books like Deathtrap Dungeon, Creature of Havoc, and City of Thieves, alongside modern releases such as Assassins of Allansia and The Port of Peril.
 
Whether you’re a hardened adventurer returning for vengeance or a newcomer ready to test your courage, Crypt of the Sorcerer promises a merciless and unforgettable challenge.
 
Key Features:
  • The Original 1987 Artwork: Includes Les Edwards' legendary Puffin cover and striking interior illustrations by John Sibbick.
  • Optional difficulty mode for a slightly less punishing experience.
  • ‘Free Read’ mode for casual exploration.
  • Built-in Mapping System: Track your journey through the dungeon across multiple runs.
  • Unlimited Bookmarks: Perfect for retrying deadly encounters.
