Description
Play the Dark Tower board game on your android device. This app can either function as the tower in the original game (requires the board and game pieces) or a game of Dark Tower can be played entirely on the device. Both options support 1-4 players and 3 levels of difficulty.Your feedback is very important to me. Please visit my website or leave a review and let me know how I can make this app better.
For those who aren't familiar with Dark Tower, here is a description of Dark Tower from the Dark Tower manual:
"The Challenge: to retrieve the Ancient Magic Scepter that has been stolen by a tyrant king. The Scepter is the Power Staff of the Empire, and a kingdom has been offered as reward for its return. The Scepter lies hidden in the Dark Tower, guarded by a fierce band of the tyrant's Brigands. Three magic keys will open the the tower to you. Find the keys in three foreign kingdoms, and you may lay siege to the Dark Tower.
In search of the key, leave the Citadel in your home kingdom with a handful of warriors. On your journey, you will fight battles, be attacked by dragons, lose warriors to plague and starvation and get hopelessly lost in uncharted territories.
But don't despair! Visit the Bazaars to buy warriors and other supplies. Stop at the Tombs and Ruins to discover treasures of gold, dragonswords, magic keys, helpful wizards and the flying horse, Pegasus. The Sanctuaries are open to you, too, ready to outfit you with warriors, gold and food.
Once you discover the three keys, begin your siege of the Dark Tower. Start out by solving the Ancient Riddle of the Keys, then fight the Brigands within!
If you have a stout heart, quick wits and undying courage, you will retrieve the Scepter, save the Empire and win a Kingdom. Dare to Lay Siege to the Dark Tower!"
The following Dark Tower features are not supported:
1. The training mode (Level 4) in the original game.
2. The use of the clear button to clear an illegal move. The clear button only works to exit the Bazaar without buying anything.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★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!
4 ★Fantastic implementation. My only wish is that when you are using the app in 'Tower-only" everything, especially the button pad, should be like twice as big. It all looks so tiny and hard to read in the center of my Nexus 7 screen. Other than that, this is a great blast from the past, and a boon to anyone who still has the game but the tower itself has long since died.
4 ★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.
5 ★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.
3 ★The graphics and sounds are great but the odds of winning against the brigade are wrong. I have the actual game and you win most of the time against the brigands. In this app, you lose most of the time. You spend all your time going to santuary to get more money and soldiers. The dragon also shows up way too much in this app. Not really much fun.
3 ★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.
5 ★Those electronic towers do NOT hold up over time, so this app is a lifesaver! My family was so excited to finally play Dark Tower again after downloading this app, our tower has been broken for several years and we just thought we had to deal with it. Nope! We still have all the other pieces, so this is perfect!
4 ★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.
5 ★This game is made very well up to the sounds, the delays, and the use of the original art is awesome. I have a non-functioning Dark Tower game in the closet and was able to show my kids. I love the ability to use the tablet as the tower too. This is an awesome app! Well done.
3 ★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.
2 ★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.
1 ★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.
