Fighting Fantasy The Warlock of Firetop Mountain is a first-person fantasy role-playing video game, based on the book series by Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson. Developed by Big Blue Bubble and published by Aspyr for the Nintendo DS. The game was released on October 26, 2009. The game follows a lone adventurer on his travels through the old Dwarven keep within Firetop Mountain. Now the residence of an evil warlock and hordes of foul creatures, the keep is a mysterious and dangerous place from which no one has returned in many years.

As players guide the adventurer through the many passageways and dungeons, they develop the character's abilities and attributes to suit their play style. Enemies will fall before the player's brute strength with sword and axe, power of the arcane arts, nimble quickness or custom combination of skills. A wealth of weaponry, armor, potions and enchantments are equipped through an intuitive drag-and-drop inventory system while helpful (or not-so-helpful) NPCs provide guidance, quests, trade goods and skill training.

The book series launched in 1982 with the first title, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. Authors Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson created a revolutionary new idea for the fantasy genre: the reader would become the hero of his or her own fantasy adventure in a story that would be part book, part game. After each paragraph a decision must be made: which way to turn, whether to fight or flee, which mysterious character to approach, and what risks to take. Each choice sent the reader to a different page to discover the consequences of their choice, with each read-through ending either in disaster, or with the discovery of the ultimate goal.

More than 10 hours of RPG gameplay. Explore vast dungeons, fight hordes of powerful monsters, discover glittering treasure and achieve fame and fortune through conquest.

Choose from hundreds of weapons and armor pieces, including rare enchanted items, as you crush skulls and eviscerate enemies.

Learn powerful spells that will protect your character in combat or cause serious damage to enemies.

Enjoy in-depth NPC interaction. Speak with characters to find information you need to move forward in your quests, learn new skills, trade and more.

Fight an impressive diversity of monsters as they attack with fireballs, axes, poison, spells and more...
