Tin Man Games, having published the most successful series of gamebook apps on iOS so far and fresh from winning the licensce to release actual Fighting Fantasy books, continue their run of form with a brand new Judge Dredd book to whet our appetites for all things Mega-City in advance of the new film later this summer.
Casting you in the boots of the legendary lawman himself, Countdown Sector 106 features additions to the well-worn gamebook adventures mechanics to mimic the sorts of fast-paced firefights you’d expect.
Written by a long-time 2000a.d. fan this looks to tick all the boxes for a quality experience. But there’s a full review in the pipeline, so I can let you know for sure once I’ve had the chance to play through it.
My experience of the tin man gamebook series is generally positive, the eighth book in the series departed from their tried and tested model by doing a wierd kind of iap system as opposed to paying up front, but outside of that the writing quality and the pacing of the books easily matches the standard set by the fighting fantasy series. The spider god book, number seven was absolutely stellar and I managed to snag that on a sale. So, looking forward to seeing what your impression of the dredd book is.
Judge Dredd considers that dinosaur a “perp”?
That…is…amazing…
Now if they’d just do a Nemesis the Warlock one.
