I’m working on a digital adaptation of the legendary Blood Sword series.
Yes… that Blood Sword. The five-book epic created by Dave Morris and Oliver Johnson. A saga that merged narrative gamebooks with tactical combat, cooperative gameplay, and some of the darkest, grittiest fantasy ever written for the format. For many of us—especially in Eastern Europe—this series wasn't just a reading experience. It was a rite of passage.

Now, after years of building interactive stories, experimenting with combat systems, and shaping gamebook engines—I finally feel ready to tackle it.

What You Can Expect
My goal is to capture the essence of Blood Sword—the tactical battles, the meaningful choices, the grounded tone, and the sense that you're living through a smart, branching RPG campaign carefully crafted by a meticulous dungeon master.

• Turn-based, grid combat, heavily inspired by the original battle maps
• Class-based characters with unique roles and abilities: Warrior, Trickster, Sage, Enchanter
• Branching narrative faithful to the books—but enhanced with dynamic systems and choices that matter
• Co-op inspired design — even though the game is single-player, you’ll feel the presence and synergy of a full party
• Visual atmosphere that reflects the grim, grounded world of Legend

This will be my most ambitious project to date, both in terms of scale and in how deeply personal it is to me.

Join the Journey
The game is still early in development, but the Steam page is live. I’d be honored if you check it out, follow it, and help spread the word.

TB + hexes are absolute incline

But seems that exploration is tied to a minigame of some sort, I hope not

Fabled Lands was dogshit, so zero expectations here.

It looks like a mobile game to play on the shitter. Size of the battle map is outrageous. But is fits on iphone screen!

Wtf is this slop lmao

 

[Mortmal]

The aesthetics are good, but that's about all. Like other adaptations of CYOA books, it will undoubtedly be extremely limited and simple, as shown in the trailer.

How so?

I think he means the computer game, not the original game books (which were awesome)

TB + hexes

I don't like hexes. I like squares.

TB + hexes

I don't like hexes. I like squares.

Why? Hexes allow for more directional combat and translate into better concentric effects on smaller maps. Are you just gay?

I don't know what any of that shit means.

Are you just gay?

I like squares. That's the opposite of being gay.
