Great price for this fun and enjoyable adaption of the "Choose-your-own-adventure" game.
Definitely strongly recommended, especially at this price point.

From the website:

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE
Battle, sneak, and charm your way through thousands of story options as you play through over a dozen major quests, each unique to a different Hero.

SIMULTANEOUS TURN-BASED COMBAT
Experiment with a slew of interesting battle strategies! Each Hero comes with their own set of attacks and manoeuvres. Poison, crossbows, holy magic, or a good old sword and shield – however you want to take down your enemies, there’s sure to be a Hero to suit! Venture forth, kill monsters and earn Souls to prove your might and unlock all eighteen Heroes.

WHICH HERO WILL YOU TAKE INTO THE MOUNTAIN?
Will you play as the noble and experienced adventurer Alexandra of Blacksand? Or perhaps take the pious and righteous path of battle-priest Landov Lowan? Forego the risks of combat with evasive sleep-bomb manouveurs as Krea Datura! Or get straight to the punch with hard-hitting rhino-man Twenty-Three.

BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED MINIATURES
Encounter the nostalgic aesthetic of classic tabletop RPGs by playing with over 100 handsomely painted character and monster miniatures as you explore the depths of Firetop Mountain.

GOBLINS, GOBLINS, GOBLINS!
The Hill Goblins of Firetop Mountain have been unleashed on to the realm of Allansia! This special Goblin Scourge Edition features three additional adventurers whose stories are intricately woven into the Goblin Scourge. Explore the dangerous caverns and uncover the mysteries of Scarclaw’s evil minions!

PLAY AS A MONSTER IN THE GAUNTLET
Sick of fighting on the side of good? No problem! Play as one of Zagor’s evil minions – Slime Beast, Giant Rat, Skeleton Warrior and more – in a combat-heavy, story-light quest. Battle your way deep into the mountain, striving to earn as many Souls as possible in a single dungeon run!

Enjoy!

  Hi Lysander,

  Do you know if the whole series is coming or available for Switch?
  I remember playing these style games with the pencil and hero card back in the day, good times :-)

    I do not think the whole series is coming. This game was released on Steam on 31 Aug, 2016 and no new game has come out since then.
    However, on PC there are three different DLCs which seem to be a different story each. But these DLCs are not available on Switch yet.

    Have a look: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/8121/Warlock_of_Fireto…

    Hope that helps.

      The DLCs from that pack are actually from a separate free title, Fighting Fantasy Classics. (https://store.steampowered.com/app/856880/Fighting_Fantasy_C…) Unlike this Warlock of Firetop Mountain game, which is a virtual tabletop game, they're just digital recreations of the original gamebooks.

        Oops, you are right. Then the answer is no to existing games, and very likely no to upcoming games. Sadly.

    You might be interested to know that the developer has a number of other game books for phones/tablets. Scroll down to the bottom of that page for a list. Though those are presented as more like interactive books.

  Australian developer.

  Quick look around the reviews indicates this is a quality game for those who like this sort of thing. Great price considering.
