Mike Singleton's '84 classic Adventure Strategy game, brought to and updated for iOS.
"The Lords of Midnight is not simply an adventure game nor simply a war game. It was really a new type that became known as an epic game, for as you play the Lords of Midnight you will be writing a new chapter in the history of the peoples of the Free.
You will guide individual characters across the land of Midnight on vital quests but you will also command armies that must endeavour to hold back the foul hordes of Doomdark, the witch king. Yours will be no inevitable victory." - Mike Singleton 1984
"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."

The Lords of Midnight Reviews
Amazing Game for iOS
Ignore the old reviews that claim this game has issues on certain iPhones; it’s been updated and works flawlessly (using an iPhone 12 Pro) using the entire screen.
This is a well done tribute the the Original creator and is great for a nostalgia trip. If you’re not into classic games or text-heavy interfaces, then this won’t be for you. For everyone else, expect some rich storytelling.
Recently updated my phone and now I can’t play
I recently got an X series iPhone come to find that I can no longer play this amazing game anymore. Please update so I can once again enjoy this fantastic product.
Doesn’t launch on iPhone X
Great game while it worked. Then I upgraded to an iPhone X and it crashes immediately at launch.
A GREAT REMAKE OF A CLASSIC
Imagination plays a big part in this fabulous game. BRIGHT BEAUTIFUL GRAPHICS, GREAT GAMEPLAY, USING YOUR IMAGINATION MAKES FOR A GREAT GAMING EXPERIENCE.
Really?
This game has an incredible ability make me want to fall asleep. It's epic how stupid this game is.
Epic Fantasy!
A fun game with a lot of atmosphere packed into a fairly simple set of mechanics. I think there are a few areas that could use some work. That said the game is well worth the money.
Very good
A must buy. I've never played the original (or owned anything older than a Pentium) but this is a very good game, even by a modern standards. I also recommend looking at The Lost Treasures of Infocom, it was released recently.
A classic, must have!
Still one of my all-time favorite games...great port, can't wait for Doomdark's Revenge. Game is worth every penny...
Fantasy Epic!
While seeming deceptively simple, this game is actually a very deep graphical fantasy text adventure. I never played the original game, but I can see the similarities and inspirations drawn from high fantasy classics such as JRR Tolkien's works.. Etc. others have compared this to 'King of Dragon Pass' which I felt was a more engrossing game, but that is a fair comparison.
This game is not easy!
While I have not gotten very far, I have restarted a few times as I learned the game mechanics.
One complaint: PLEASE make the hit detection on the buttons more accurate, or at least more generous. Two I have struggled with are the tiny flashing scroll with tutorial helpful hints, and the 'X' in the hint window to close it. Activating these small icons on my 4S iPhone seems to be VERY difficult on several occasions... Often I would click the flashing scroll icon to read a contextual hint, and instead my selected character would advance one step, or open the character view as this scroll appears on the upper right corner overtop the current character coat-of-arms. Could it be moved by the developers to a neutral location onscreen to prevent these issues???
Interesting game though! Check it out!
Engrossing
This is a flawless port of a classic RPG. Truly from a different era, Midnight is all about strategy and forethought. Don't be fooled by the simple graphics. Be sure to see the many websites and videos online for help; the tutorial is good, but the overall strategy may elude beginners.
This game is a must for strategy and RPG fans.
