Fighting Fantasy Classics coming to Steam Deck

Fans of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks who also use Steam Deck, will be excited to hear that Tin Man Games' Fighting Fantasy Classics adaptations are coming to the platform soon.

Steam Deck is a great platform for handheld gaming and it is a perfect fit for FF adventures, which were some of the very first on-the-go games for Gen Xers back in the 1980s.

The Tin Man team are currently adding in controller support as well as updating Fighting Fantasy Classics' save system to allow for multiple save slots per book. They are also adding in cloud saving.

A new build will be released soon and there will also be an announcement in the next few weeks regarding new FF titles coming to the FFC library!
