Droid Tower

Great app but when playing the game on a board using the app instead of a tower the leveling is way off base far too hard in level 1. We played the app against the tower and app was killing players off in first move! As a nostalgia kick brilliant, as a replacement poor.

I was excited to find this game on An app. I ran I to it looking for the board game. Muse of water did a great job of recreating the game. If he can make some tweaks it could be perfect. I played for about 30-40 minutes and didn't find a single key. If key drops could be upped and the win ratio when out numbering the brigands by a huge margin were better it would be perfect. The board moves are hit and miss but from what I remember from the game it was about the same. Overall, I'm glad I have it now and look forward to giving it another go when I have more time.

This is a beautiful, faithful recreation of the Dark Tower board game. Like others, I wish it had a "save game" feature so I can quest for the scepter in tiny time increments. But, seriously, other than that, top notch! The sound and art took me right back to my childhood.

This app is a mirror image of the original game. The skirmish odds are not the same as MB tower and are in favor of the Brigands who seem to take a lot of worriers down sometimes when there are a lot less Brigands. In one player mode, board or app you can camp out at the Bazaar turn after turn haggling because there is no incentive to move on. I would pay for this app if it were multiplayer network ready. These days I should not have to pass the tablet around the table to play so I'll play the board game.

Thank you for making this! I've been wanting to play this again for a long time but the original game is very expensive. Truly a great piece of nostalgia. Thanks for preserving it.

This is an incredibly faithful reproduction, and I appreciate the work that went into it. That said, I have to agree with many of the other reviewers: the diffciulty level is *incredibly* unbalanced. Withe the original board game, there was little point in playing with one player because the game was easy enough that there was maybe a 1/5 chance you would lose. That seems totally reversed here. It's almost impossible to beat. For game that you really just want to pick up for a quick hit of nostalgia, it's far, far too hard. THe four and five star ratings *must* be from people who haven't played the game all the way through. The insane difficulty level really diminishes an otherwise great effort.

It's unbalanced as hell. I've owned a copy of the actual game for 34 years. I've never had this much difficulty finishing the game, let alone losing on the first encounter. The game play isn't balanced in the slightest when you have 8 warriors, kill brigade until they only have 2 remaining and you still lose the battle. Awful.

Having played the original a lot in my youth I know how this game is played. The negative effects such as plague, Dragon, and lost occur with increased frequency just about every move. Additionally fights are geared towards losing, though the original was geared towards winning.

The original tower is nearly lost to the world but at least the digital version lives on in this app. Gotta be honest though. What would really be nice is an update to this game with new graphics and visuals and while we're there a much better interface.

Thanks for helping us relive the memory of this amazing game. Unfortunately the odds are too tough. I took 1 step and got into battle that killed 6 of my guys. Can't get past the second key at best. Very very difficult, not quite what I remember.

Haven't been able to get past first area after about 12 games played. Don't recall it being so difficult or the amount of times plague or lost comes up. Gameplay and sounds are spot on. Still fun but hopefully the battle algorithm gets tweaked. Thanks for bringing this back

Dusted off the old tower only to find that it had finally bit the dust. My kids (8 & 5) were devastated, as we made a special trip to the store for D batteries and had already set up the board. Actually found this app by accident trying to look up information online about the game. Like that it has the option to use the app as the tower, assuming you have the board or playing it entirely on the app, assuming you don't. Nicely done!! You should link the app from the Wikipedia page.

Fantastic recreation of the classic board game of my youth. With the cost of a complete Dark Tower game going for upwards of $300 these days, this app allows those of us without that kind of disposable income to recapture the feeling of playing this amazing game.

Wow! Someone brought this to a new years party but it wouldn't come on. Much sadness ensued then I thought to look for an app and behold! It was like a new years mirical. I started up the app and everyone thought the tower came on because the app has all the original sounds. The controls are the same. The graffics appear. It's fantastic. Thank you!

I had a fantastic time re-living my youth playing Dark Tower on my phone! I loved this game! Thank you so much for re-creating it! The graphics and sound were accurate to the original, what a pleasure it was to play. Can't wait to share with loved ones.

The algorithms for the battles are wrong. This is the most important part of the game. I could have 10 warriors and they could have only one brigand, I would still loose 2 to 3 warriors. Or they could have 18 brigands and I only have 11 and I would cut them in half to 9. I don't remember my original ever doing that.

Great job retaining authenticity of the original. Some glitches, the sidebar does not actually track your inventory, and the difficulty level seems much higher than the original. Fix those issues for 5 stars

Wondered if there was a DT app. There is, hearing those sounds again took me back to 12 years old, playing this game with my buds. Thanks for the 'time travel' app ;-D

Full functionality as tower replacement. Yes, a one player game is hard. In a multi-player game you can't lose your last warrior. You can in a single player game, so you must be far more conservative.

Played 20 times. Shortest game was one move. Longest game was 15 moves. Dragon, plague, lost happen way to frequently. Brigands battles are close to what I remember but seem to favor the bad guys. Combined with the other actions they massacre your ability to maintain an army with more than 10 people for any reasonable time. Borders on futile and I note no reviews state that they actually beat the game. Playing the board game you can actually win. Update. After 9 more attempts I survived. Miraculously.

I always remember playing this board game as a kid and I am so glad that its now for phones because its so hard to try to find one with a working tower..and it plays just like the board game to

I've tried playing 5 times now and hundreds of rounds and the best I could ever get was 15 warriors, no key ever, and never enough gold to buy anything else besides warriors and food. I get ground down over and over with plagues and dragons and lost what feels like every 3rd turn. It's impossible to play. Oh, and please add a ”next” button on combat so my hundreds of turns can not slowly drive me insane. Fix the those and 5 stars will be yours.

Can NEVER get through without dying. No difficulty setting. Waste of time.

Brigands seem much more difficult than actual game. Other than that amazing recreation.

Perfect recreation of the board game. Those who keep losing gold in battles needs to read the rules, you can only carry 6 gold per warrior.

Played with my family over Thanksgiving in "use your device as the tower" mode. In 3 hours of play we had only collected 3 keys - 2 of us didn't collect any. Definitely killed the momentum of the game. All in all, I'm very happy that this app exists. I just wish it was playable.

Loved this game as a kid. Needs a save game icon. A little red dot near the character to help locate him when I'm playing while my phone is on low light would be great.

The rng is way off. I own the real game and sometimes you do fight a group of brigands that out number your warriors but not EVERY time in EVERY fight. I notice that the brigands are way better fighters then in the actual game. Almost ridiculously so. I had 29 warriors against 1 brigand and it killed 6 of my warriors before dying. Maybe killing 1 warrior is what sometimes happens in a situation like that but 6? Never. You are only rewarded 1 event item at the end of a battle MAYBE but I got a key, Pega&wiz

Wow! I'm so excited. I still have the board game I bought in the 1980s.. it's my favorite game. This game app is identical & I'm loving it! Great game...thank you so much!! One problem for me...I work in them film industry I don't have time to play a full game in one sitting. Is there any way to SAVE my current game?? 5 ☆'s when I can.

I have the full board game but a defunct tower. This does a good job filling that need.

This game has been a family favorite since the 80s. We still have the original boardgame. You've done a fantastic job of replicating it. Two suggestions. First the token pieces are a little hard to see. If you can make them stand out a bit more against the background would be perfect. Second, it would be great if I could play online somehow against my brothers who live out of state. Regardless it is fantastic. Thank you!

After winning a fight it tells me an amount of gold, presumably the amount won. The last game I played, I won a fight and it said I had 41 gold. Awesome, I needed to get some warriors. Heading to the bazaar, I got attacked again. Won again, got 6 gold. Problem: I HAD 41 gold, and suddenly after winning a battle, I now had 6 TOTAL. I couldn't even buy 1 warrior. When you award gold, the amount you win should be added to the amount you already have!

I like it, but I don't. I like the idea of playing this game that is FAR too overpriced now for what it is. Picking up an original game in working condition will be no less than $300. However, I have experienced the same gold stealing issues that others have noted. It would be nice to have the peg tracking card implemented as I have seen in a couple of Java versions. Also, the game odds do seem a bit unbalanced. I know that the single player games were designed that way, but, there have multiple back to back games where I have only made it about 5 turns before dying. All in all, not bad, but could be better. Thanks for putting it together.

I am way too happy to play this again!! And my daughters enjoy it, too! Upon entering the Dark Tower, the battle sequence sped up and seemed to glitch but finished properly. Other than that, it played perfectly on my Alcatel One Touch Pop. Thank you many times over for making and releasing this game app!!

The greatest board game of the 80s is now an Awesome app for the Android! Perfect recreation of the board game - right down to the electronic beeps and music. I can't stop playing this app!

I grew up with a Dark Tower and never really knew how to play it. This companion app along with play alone aspect just absolutely rocks. Finally feel like I got the DT experience. So simple yet such a cool play mechanic. I love it! 1 thing... holy hell I wish I could turn down the sound. Still gets 5 stars from me anyway.

Improve the odds please. I just tried a 4 player game and went 30 rounds without any of them getting a key. Lost count on how many times plague hit. And hit dragon a whopping 12 times. This was my all time favorite games as a kid. And I guarantee you the odds of getting a key were better than this. Also need to fix the gold problem. I won a fight and had 42 gold when done. Then got hit with another fight next turn and won that one also but gold dropped to 36.

I did forget that you can only carry so much. I will pay close attention to this issue and make sure that's why I lost gold. When I'm positive 5 stars for sure. I like the idea of a save option too.
