Awesome retro fun

I always wanted the board game as kid. Not in a million years would I have guessed that 40 years later I’d be playing it on a phone.
So Good!

I can’t believe how good this app is. It is absolutely accurate to the original game. I’m so impressed. Everything is exactly as I remember it. Fantastic job!
The best game on the App Store

It is so nostalgic, and is just like the actual game. Classic mode is very realistic and can be a fun game with friends, never take down
Good, not quite like the original.

Played a lot of DT back in the day. This is a good but not a complete faithful version of the original. Differences: When you return to your home kingdom, you don’t not have the option to go to your Citadel and double your warrior strength. Events on the Move key are too rare. 90% of the time it just beeps and the turn is over. Plague, lost, and Dragon rarely if ever come up unlike the original. When you get cursed, it only beeps instead of giving the lost skirmish sound effect. In Original Brigand battles, even if you were fighting a band much larger than yours, you always had a chance to win a skirmish and keep you in the battle—maybe even win. This isn’t possible in the app. This detail, combined with the lack of warrior doubling, makes attacking the tower difficult and tedious. As I said, good, but not quite the feeling of the old game.
Lots of fun again

I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. Great job! After decades of play my tower finally died but now I can play again. All the original sounds are very nostalgic for me. Thanks again ! Ps. For Tower fans, Yes after all this time there will be a Dark Tower II. It’s in development on kickstarter (really !)
Awesome, true to original game play

I absolutely love the app and was so excited when I found it. I got the board game back in 1981 for Christmas when I was 11 years old and played it often. I updated the app with the 8/25 update. After turning the phone sideways (landscape), pressing start and selecting a kingdom and hero the app shuts down. I have an iPhone X. I’ve tried restarting my phone, deleting and reinstalling the app and it’s still not working. Hoping this is something that can be corrected quickly. Plan on getting the add ons once the app is fixed.
Picking character

Hi, only 2 characters show up when picking player piece, even if you have picked 4 people to play. Just tried playing-sorry not a good update, no full screen, move points are off, couldn’t leave territory, etc.
Fantastic!

Really great work reproducing a game that leaves a lot of good memories! So glad for the updates as well, really nice.
How to reach a higher score

This game is amazing for anyone who used to play it back in the day... My question is how do you achieve a higher score?
Review of basic edition
Deep Hurting
I had the original Dark Tower game bacjk when it came out. I loved it. Eventually the unit broke down and that was that. I’m not sure what made me think of it all these years later but I searched and found this app. I am amazed at the detail and the faithful recreation of the gameplay, from the exact sounds made by the unit to the appearance of the cels, tower, and game board. I am literally reliving a bit of my youth through an app which I would never have dreamed possible. The developer must have loved the game as much as I did, maybe more. Well done.
