Doomdark's Revenge

I don't say that lightly. I first encountered this game in the 80s and I had no idea what I was doing with it. With it's prequel "The Lords of Midnight" I was captivated by it's story, it's graphics and the feeling. Remeber this was on a 48k then a 128k spectrum, in comparison your PC's and Consoles are thousands of times more powerful. Yet I still keep coming back to this game, it's feeling, it's strategy. In my life I've spent more time on this game than any other. The remade verisons here by Chris Wild are labours of love and it shows, the game has been improved and I believe the original programmer Mike Singleton would approve, in fact he did while he was still with us. As to the game, you march across the frozen wastes recruiting an army to fight an evil overlord while also trying to rescue the main character's son. Your goal is to rally the various tribles in this strange land, go explore, go find fun things and survive as long as you can. By todays standards, the graphics are simple, the AI is simple, but the feeling and heart of this game still remain.

Excellent remake of the Spectrum classic. I'd prefer the Spectrum keyboard layout as I still know it off by hand but I guess you can't have everything.

At least you are not outnumbered 100 to 1 like in Lords of Midnight! But I still felt "lost" in this game, despite it's simplicity. Struggling to get to grips with it, and it's not really "hooking me in". It's really a mobile phone game on the PC.

Terrible. Won't even install. Why bother offering it if it doesn't install? I even tried the instructions.... nothing.

not bad
