A classic, must have!
Still one of my all-time favorite games...great port, can't wait for Doomdark's Revenge. Game is worth every penny...
Outstanding
I first bought this game, before I'd saved enough for the zx spectrum, in my youth I was immersed in the fantastic opportunities and fantasy realism that the game gave. This reproduction is FANTASTIC, something, along with elite I have waited for such a long time, finding this by accident during my often searches for such a game, I've watched Chris and Mikes efforts and I commend Chris for continuing this project after the sad passing of Mike Singleton RIP.
This is a must buy for all retro freaks, and younger gamers seeking that added something to the shoot em up market. Well Done, thank you. TOP GAME!!!!!!!!

Awesome port of this classic
This game helped me while away many hours and weeks as a spotty teenager playing it on my ZX Spectrum. This version is even better. Controls are sleek, the maps help so much and it is still horrendously difficult. Well worth the money. They don't write games like this anymore.
Fantasy Epic!
While seeming deceptively simple, this game is actually a very deep graphical fantasy text adventure. I never played the original game, but I can see the similarities and inspirations drawn from high fantasy classics such as JRR Tolkien's works.. Etc. others have compared this to 'King of Dragon Pass' which I felt was a more engrossing game, but that is a fair comparison.
This game is not easy!
While I have not gotten very far, I have restarted a few times as I learned the game mechanics.
One complaint: PLEASE make the hit detection on the buttons more accurate, or at least more generous. Two I have struggled with are the tiny flashing scroll with tutorial helpful hints, and the 'X' in the hint window to close it. Activating these small icons on my 4S iPhone seems to be VERY difficult on several occasions... Often I would click the flashing scroll icon to read a contextual hint, and instead my selected character would advance one step, or open the character view as this scroll appears on the upper right corner overtop the current character coat-of-arms. Could it be moved by the developers to a neutral location onscreen to prevent these issues???
Interesting game though! Check it out!

Engrossing
This is a flawless port of a classic RPG. Truly from a different era, Midnight is all about strategy and forethought. Don't be fooled by the simple graphics. Be sure to see the many websites and videos online for help; the tutorial is good, but the overall strategy may elude beginners.
This game is a must for strategy and RPG fans.

Classic
The original version is the best strategy game ever and this is faithful to the original with better AI and some graphic and gameplay tweaks. Mike Singleton's legacy lives on and hopefully this will find a new audience.
It truly is an epic game if exploration, adventure and strategic war game thrown in for good measure, give it a go you won't be disappointed.
No, I am not on commission!

Stuff of dreams
Like a lot of other people here this game was the stuff of dreams when I was a kid. The first game that made me believe in a virtual world and the story telling potential potential of video games.
So wonderful to see it all polished up and running on current gen' technology almost thirty years later! Wow is it that old?!
The game still looks and feels great and the simple art style still helps sell the game as a virtual folk tale.
Wonderful - hope we get Doomdark's Revenge too.

Flawless.
My childhood favorite revived. Beautiful. Perfect. Amazing. Thanks Chris!
Fantastic!
It seems like I've been waiting for this for years. An amazing game, brilliantly crafted and a fitting legacy to Mike Singleton may he rest in peace. Well done Chris, this has exceeded every expectation I had.
R.I.P. Mike
I'm so glad we get the chance to experience a game decades ahead of its time, created by a departed genius. Would have loved to see the previously planned remake. You'll be sorely missed, Mr Singleton. Now please port Midwinter!
