Play Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain Online

Summary

Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain (often just called Warlock of Firetop Mountain) lands on the DS as a first‑person action RPG that leans heavily on both combat and puzzle solving. You guide an adventurer through a sprawling series of tests, trials and maze‑like corridors, all while the camera stays locked behind your character’s eyes. The game lets you roam freely, swapping between swords, armor, magical spells and assorted skills as you push toward the evil warlock’s mountain fortress. Its design is loosely based on the classic role‑playing gamebook, but the DS translation struggled to capture the original’s charm, earning a Metacritic average of 45/100 and a slew of low scores—from a D‑ at 1Up.com to a 4/10 at GameSpot. In short, the title offers a solid premise of exploration and gear‑mixing, but the execution left many reviewers unimpressed.

Storyline

In Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, the ancient Dwarven Keep perched atop Firetop Mountain has been held by the sinister Warlock Zagor for decades. Many have tried to plunder the fabled riches hidden deep within the mountain, and none have returned, as the evil scourge of the Warlock and his minions block any hope of treasure.

The player assumes the role of an adventurer on a quest to locate the warlock’s hidden loot. To succeed, the adventurer must navigate the dungeons beneath Firetop Mountain, battle monsters, and locate the specific items required to complete the quest.
