Reception
[edit]Forrest Johnson reviewed The Toughest Dungeon in the World in The Space Gamer No. 35.[1] Johnson commented that "Do you enjoy rolling dice for hours on end, even knowing the probability of a favorable outcome is very slight? [...] If you have better things to do with your time [...] there are plenty of other games on the market."[1]
Anders Swenson reviewed The Toughest Dungeon in the World for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "In evaluation, this is a well done adventure with a crazy theme that everybody should try. Pity the poor troll, cowering in the dank depths, trying to get a small fortune together so he can escape to the outside world, free from the clutches of dungeon existance [sic]! It may make you want to take a troll to lunch."[3]
