Brilliant

Thanks for bringing this to my mobile phone. Great memories of playing the best game ever created. Really like the extra features such as the map reveal and the menus are really intuitive. Brilliant job!

Above and beyond

Thank you for all your hard work in resurrecting DDR with no real prospect of reward for your efforts. So far, Iโ€™ve seen Torormarg the Dwarf walk through the Moonprince fortress of Gloruk without being stopped, otherwise you once again have done MS proud. Iโ€™d be happy to make a contribution if loot box or two was added in future too. John the Moonprince has a nice ring to it.

Happy days

An excellent conversion of perhaps the best 8 bit game ever made (controversial, I know!!). Gameplay is much improved by being able to group lords. One minor negative is that the recruitment of icelords seems much easier than I remember, perhaps because they are not grouped as often as they were in the original. As a result it's a lot easier to beat the game fwiw. That said, it's an awesome conversion and brilliant that MS's classic game is still entertaining players decades later, well done!

A classic springs back to life!

Excellent update to what remains a simple but hugely enjoyable strategy game.... The adventure almost inevitably climaxing with Shareth appearing out of the fog with her legions of Iceguard and bands of treacherous Dwarves, Giants and Fey.

On a more practical note, the ability to group lords was particularly welcome.

And the inscription to Mike Singleton, inscribed upon one of the northern temples, was an understated, but rather touching moment.

Faithful

Faithful and therefore very playable version of the original. Got lost in this for three days recently. Epic.

Singleton's Return

A worthy sequel to a groundbreaking early game.

Excellent recreation, but not quite right

This is an excellent recreation of the classic 80s game, but tweaks have made gameplay too easy. The 'undo' and 'return to dawn' options both take away a high degree of the games difficulty eg visiting stones/temples only go discover the languor of death, etc. made the game tricky; plus in the original the various characters often group themselves together in unbreakable units and don't present themselves in orderly fashion for recruitment.

What am I doing?!?

I love the idea of the game, I read the novella, I love that it looks like a spectrum game; but I am wondering around a huge map finding a hammer and sword, bumping into other armies who I am controlling but it gives me the option to attack them, I cannot make sense of coordinating an attack on one enemy army with several armies I control. There is no clear path. Results of battles are sketchy. It doesn't feel like I am getting anywhere. I've been playing for hours getting mor characters to control fighting battles but. It really gaining a sense of loss or victory... Sometimes you can find the battle results but other times there doesn't seem to be an acknowledgment of a battle having taken place. The game has a nice mood to it but I am tired of venturing now.

Doomdark's Revenge

Exceptionally well made adaptation- I can't stop playing it! Highly recommended- I remember playing the original and this is such a perfect remake. I note from your blog you are making the Eye of Moon too- can't wait!

Excellent version

This is a fantastic conversion of a classic strategy game! Very well adapted to iPad. Now, one thing, the sadly missed Mike Singleton planned the last of the moonprince trilogy called "eye of the moon". It was never realised. It was going to be set in the greener lands South of midnight. Are you guys up for doing this?
