About The Dark Tower
The Dark Tower is set on the world of Qaedon, a thousand years before the Great Cataclysm and is the last part in the trilogy that began with The Curse of Feldar Vale and continued in Mystery at Morgoth. Known as the Age of Chaos, humans, greenskins, and all manner of monsters fight to survive these troubled times.
The malevolent being that has controlled events until now has been named. Your party must seek out the Archmage Kornath who knows the location of the evil one.
Build a party of 4-6 characters to adventure in the region around Cleerport, to seek fame and fortune, or more likely find just enough coin to put food on the plate. The Dark Tower delivers old-school gaming with hand-drawn 2D graphics throughout.
If you completed Mystery at Morgoth import your party to continue the adventure or defeat the dark evil in stand-alone mode with a new party of your choice.

The Dark Tower is the third & final game in this 3-game series. The story began with ‘The Curse of Feldar Vale’, continued with ‘Mystery at Morgoth’ & concluded with ‘The Dark Tower’. If you have any interest in tactical RPG’s then I highly recommend you play this series. I’ve had a blast! You can export your party from the conclusion of one game to the next, so it is really just one game in three parts. The story just continues from one game to the next. If you play the game carefully, checking out each monster’s stats, lore, etc, then you can easily put in over 100 hours on the series. For the paltry few dollars each game costs, if that is not value for money, then I would like to know what is? The games each have so much detail they leave most RPG’s for dead. Right from the start, rolling the characters for your party, offers so many choices to allocate your character points. Page after page of options. You can really make characters you want and they can even be dual-class or even triple-class – right from the start. How many other RPG games allow you to do this? Once you get into the game, the detail continues. Every monster has an incredible amount of detail. J…8 found this helpful
The entire series is a must buy. If you like D&D style games then it's for you. The game is incredibly deep which is hard to tell from the store page. You won't find more hours of enjoyment for another RPG at this price on steam.6 found this helpful
This is a huge improvement over The Curse of Feldar Vale, but I am not sure why. I am really getting much more into the system this time around. I am giving this a big thumbs up. It's inexpensive at full price, let alone on sale. It's a true DnD RPG like Baldur's Gate with lot's of fun building your party, clearing the maps, progressing through the story, etc. I would like to suggest the Dev adds at least an additional save armor set (like the save weapon sets) as I have a Half Elf Rogue/Archer who is my main searcher, trap disarmer, lock picker, etc., and I have to constantly switch back and forth between his "searching" set and his "archery fighting" set. In the town's shop, it would be nice if we could cycle through our party (i.e., Next) like all the other screens after purchasing something and adding to inventory, instead I have to save/close and then advance through the party (I may not be explaining this perfectly, but there is a screen situation where you can't cycle through your party that's irritating as it makes comparing party members to see who needs what difficult). I tried to set up my party using all 40 points, I used 39 on 4 party members (something like Level …3 found this helpful
Followed all four of the games. Enjoyed each one more as they got increasingly better. Really enjoyed the tactical aspects. Would like to see hex grids instead the the squares, and it is pretty hard to level up unless you keep your character traits simple. The designers were available to help out when I got stuck. If they come out with more, I will definitely acquire them.2 found this helpful
I've enjoyed all three games in this series. Great tech support for when I stumbled on a game-breaking bug.1 found this helpful
