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 ...

About This Game
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.
- Hours of gameplay with multiple locations to visit and numerous quests to undertake.
- Build your party from traditional D&D races (Human, Elf, Dwarf, Half-Elf, or Halfling).
- Use your Warriors to batter the enemy, your Rogues to sneak up unseen, or your Clerics to Turn the Undead.
- Get power and magic with your Battlemages or pure magic with your combat-weak Mages.
- Recruit single or multi-class units like the Warrior/Rogue.
- Tactical turn-based encounters on square grids where every decision counts.
- Adventure in overland locations, explore buildings, or battle in dark dungeons.
- Keep your party supplied (hungry heroes do not fight as efficiently as well-fed ones!).
- Hundreds of items for your party to find.
- Dozens of spells for your Battlemages, Clerics, and Mages to blast the enemy or help your party.
- Fill your coffers with Qaedi (the global currency) by looting your enemies.

User Reviews
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.
I've enjoyed all three games in this series. Great tech support for when I stumbled on a game-breaking bug.
