It is the 36th in the series in the original Puffin series and 14th in the modern Wizard series .
See main article: Fighting Fantasy.
The story features an additional game mechanic: both the player's character and their army have attributes for combat, as there is a combination of individual and mass battles.
Armies of Death is a direct sequel to the Fighting Fantasy title Trial of Champions. The player assumes the role of the winner of the Trial. With the continent Allansia threatened by the evil Shadow Demon Agglax and his growing undead army, the adventurer must use his newfound-riches to raise an army to stop the threat. Despite being a sequel storywise, the gameplay has little in common with the two previous entries, as the player is no longer exploring a dungeon.
