Fighting Fantasy Adds Crypt of the Sorcerer

Tin Man Games has revived the classic Crypt of the Sorcerer for mobile devices. This renowned Fighting Fantasy adventure, originally authored by Ian Livingstone, first arrived in 1987 and has challenged readers ever since. Be prepared for a ruthless experience—Razaak shows no compassion!

An ancient evil awakens

A dark presence has returned to Allansia. The sorcerer Razaak, long thought dead, has emerged from his tomb to complete his sinister mission. He is intent on unleashing death and oppression throughout the land.

Chaos spreads across Allansia as you face overwhelming obstacles. Your quest is to locate the sole weapon capable of harming Razaak. After gathering defenses against his dark magic, you must confront him in his stronghold—the Crypt of the Sorcerer.

The mobile edition introduces several helpful tools. Choose a difficulty setting for a more forgiving experience, or explore the narrative freely with Free Read mode, avoiding lethal encounters. A built-in mapping system also records your journey across multiple playthroughs.

Fans of the 1987 original will appreciate the return of Les Edwards' iconic Puffin edition cover artwork. John Sibbick's atmospheric black-and-white interior illustrations have also been preserved.

An automated Adventure Sheet monitors your character stats, inventory, and key decisions. With unlimited bookmarks, you can replay challenging segments as often as needed.
