Recommended to every fan of fantasy strategy games. Archon Ultra lays claim to an impressive pedigree. The computer version is very faithful to the original, and offers competent computer AI so that you can play solo. If you enjoy the likes of Avalon Hill's Wizard's Quest or HeroQuest, you will enjoy this early classic as well. All battles are fought against the monstrous "Brigands" which are computer-controlled.ĭark Tower is a fun, action-packed fantasy strategy game that has inspired many board games. The players can apply Curses and place obstacles to slow each other down, but they never enter combat against each other. As in the original board game, 2-4 players race the others around the circular board in a quest: each player tries to locate a key in each of the foreign countries, then return to his or her own country and proceed to the inner part of the board and attack the Tower itself. This freeware computer version lacks the "coolness" of the original board game, but it is the next best thing especially if you can't round up enough people to play the board game with.
It can display small images, numeric readouts, and even plays groovy sound effects. You should definitely hunt down the original board game if you love innovative toys, because it has many interesting "gimmicks," including neat 3D plastic landmarks and an electronic, touchpad-equipped plastic tower that arbitrates the results of battles, the distribution of artifacts, and other game events. I mean, if you want an adventure in a fantasy land, why not go for the real deal and play, say, Heroes of the Lance, some Wizardry game or any of the Golden Box RPGs of yore.Dark Tower is an excellent Java remake of a classic 1981 board game from Milton Bradley of the same name.
It works based on luck, based on strategy and also on deception to a very small degree, though this is kind of lost on the PC remake! Given that the social side is so important to play ruses, the videogame should only be attempted and played for tutorial purposes. Anyway, it is pretty convoluted but it can be interpreted as a fantasy story, maybe a bit more abstracted than some other games, but you'll get it as you play. The original board game of which this game is a digital simulation was a multiplayer game, for up to 4 people, 2 or 4, no odd numbers, which played out as a race around a circular board, following a quest to locate a key, key which will allow them to attack the tower.
