Mike Singleton's '85 classic Adventure Strategy sequel to The Lords of Midnight, brought to and updated for iOS. "It is many moons now since the Lords of Midnight first appeared out of the soft, wearing gloom. Those of you who took up their challenge and rode with them to battle against the cruel Witchking will need no reminding of that epic struggle. But now a new epic tale unfolds, the story of Doomdark’s Revenge. The game itself involves both quest and warfare, both exploration and careful strategy. You can play on your own or with friends; there are enough different characters at your command for all the family to join in and struggle against Shareth Heartstealer, Empress of the frozen Empire!" - Mike Singleton - 1985 Praise for The Lords of Midnight iOS.

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! ### 5/5 — Above and beyond *2022-04-11, version 2.0.2 (42)* Thank you for all your hard work in resurrecting DDR with no real prospect of reward for your efforts. So far, I’ve seen Torormarg the Dwarf walk through the Moonprince fortress of Gloruk without being stopped, otherwise you once again have done MS proud. I’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. ### 5/5 — The Moonprince has ridden forth into the Icemark *2017-06-07, version 1.4.0* I bought this as soon as it was released on iOS, having played it lots (but never beaten it) on my old Spectrum. This port is superb with faithful but improved graphics, and a map function to make the game less daunting. Played and beaten it a good few times and thoroughly enjoyed it. Many thanks to the developer for rewriting it and releasing it on modern machines. Really hoping he can now update it to 64 bit so it will keep working when iOS 11 comes out! Update 7/6/2017 - Woohoo!!! Now updated to 64 bit so should keep running when iOS 11 released. Big thank you to the developer! ### 5/5 — Happy days *2016-10-15, version 1.3.8* 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! ### 5/5 — A classic springs back to life! *2016-08-09, version 1.3.8* 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. ### 5/5 — Faithful *2016-07-25, version 1.3.8* Faithful and therefore very playable version of the original. Got lost in this for three days recently. Epic. ### 5/5 — Singleton's Return *2016-05-02, version 1.3.8* A worthy sequel to a groundbreaking early game. ### 4/5 — Excellent recreation, but not quite right *2016-02-17, version 1.3.8* 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. ### 2/5 — What am I doing?!? *2016-02-05, version 1.3.8* 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. ### 5/5 — Doomdark's Revenge *2015-03-24, version 1.3.8* 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! ## Frequently asked questions about Doomdark's Revenge ### What kind of game is Doomdark's Revenge?
