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. "Lords of Midnight does story-based, large-scope, high-fantasy warfare better than most titles I can think of, iOS or otherwise." - Rating 4/5- PocketTactics.com "This is an outstanding remake and developer Chris Wild, should feel very proud of creating such a superb celebration of the man’s work." - Rating 8/10 - Metro "If you're interested in classic games, especially fantasy and/or strategy games, Lords of Midnight is a must-have." - Rating 4/5 - TouchArcade.com "It's an unmissable remake. Few titles weather the storms of time as well as this solid-gold classic." - Rating 4/5 - PocketGamer.co.uk “Made of extremely bright colors and clean lines, a stylistic choice that was and still is very original.” – Multiplayer.it "Despite the perfectly adapted touch controls and crisp graphic presentation, this is a proper 1980s they-don’t-make-’em-like-they-used-to game" - PocketTactics.com "#3 - Top 10 iPad games and apps of December 2012" - QualityIndex.com "Lords of Midnight is an experience that everybody with a remote interest in games should have, buying into your characters and developing your own war stories is a wonderful thing. It is a game with hidden depths that deserve to be plumbed and I cannot recommend it enough." - KoruCottage.com iOS Best Port/Retro Gamer of the Year" - Arcade Life Please check out www.thelordsofmidnight.com/blog for news on updates and new features to come...

Read full description

You’re a spaceship pilot on a risky journey across the wastelands of a dying planet. Collect resources, take down enemies, and fly as far as you can. If you don’t make it back to base with your loot, you lose everything and start over. What to expect: - Tactical planning: choose your loadout wisely — fuel, ammo, recon drones, escape pods. How far you make it depends on what you bring. - Procedural generation: abandoned cities, enemy ships, secret bases, and rare evacuation points — every run tells a different story. - Risk vs. reward: the farther you go from the base, the more valuable the resources, but the danger grows. Reach an evacuation point to keep your loot. Die before that, and you lose everything. - Progression system: fly the farthest to become the top pilot and a legend of the corporation. - Diverse loot: find special containers and unlock them between runs to gain valuable bonuses. - Atmospheric visuals: pixel art inspired by the post-apocalyptic aesthetic. The game is built on classic gaming principles: focus, situational awareness, and learning from your mistakes matter most. Plan each flight carefully — it’s the only way to set new records. Do you have what it takes to become the top pilot of the wasteland? The game is difficult, so don’t stress if you don’t succeed on your first try. Got ideas for improvement?
