You can join Frodo, Gandalf, Legolas, and (of course) Boromir as they get the Lego treatment from TT Games, the developer of a ton of other Lego-fied video games, including Lego Harry Potter, Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones.

Warner Bros. and TT Games announced Thursday the release of Lego The Lord of the Rings to iOS. In the game, the Fellowship travels to Mount Doom to destroy The One Ring and save the land from utter Lego-style destruction. You’ll get to unlock more than 90 different LoTR characters by exploring Middle-earth, solving puzzles, and battling with the bad guys from Lego Sauron.

“The team at TT Games is excited to finally bring gamers the iOS version of the thrilling video game adventure Lego The Lord of the Rings that they’ve come to love playing on their console and handheld devices,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games Publishing. “And we’ve implemented the same quality gameplay mechanics with enhanced features specifically designed for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.”

Just like the other film-based Lego video games, Lego The Lord of the Rings will let you choose from various control schemes and relive the films right on your iPad or iPhone. The game is available now as a universal app for $4.99. If you’re really into the idea of tiny Lego Hobbits, the game ties in nicely with the Lego The Lord of the Rings line of toys, which is now up to seven different sets, including The Battle of Helms Deep and The Mines of Moria.
