Dec. 2024

Game is not particularly long(about 6-7 hours on a first playthrough), or features deep gameplay. But it's got a great aesthetic, fun premise, and a love for hokey old movies that really shines through. It's rather tame for an ACE Team game, so it doesn't get too wacky crazy.

Nov. 2024

(Reviewed on January 23rd 2017) One of the funniest games of 2016 thanks to the director narrator's fourth wall breaking that is always aware of whatever you're doing in the game, even down to spinning around (commented on twice!) in an idle manner. What started as an innocent and funny examination about spinning in videogames turns into a heart-wrenching story of love and loss. It's a cute retro sci fi romp through movie sets and a gorgeously designed tower. Now ACE Team, give me Zeno Clash 3!

June 2024

The Deadly Tower of Monsters is a hilarious send-up to the Sci-Fi B-movies of classic Hollywood, with an appropriately all-encompassing retro vibe. The whole thing plays like you're in a DVD remaster of an old sci-fi classic complete with funny 'DVD commentary' by the director and producer that lasts through the entire game, while you're playing. As one of three heroic protagonists you'll ascend an evil emperor's tower, blasting and slashing away at hordes of monsters, aliens, violent apes, and colossal bosses. The whole thing can be completed in just a few hours, but the game is so charming and enjoyable you'll likely want to play through it again right away. Unlock all those weapon upgrades you might have missed, collect those Steam achievements/cards or play using one of the other video filters (or lack of one) In short, it's unique, doesn't overstay its welcome, and offers some truly funny dialog and great looking enemies. If you like humor and old monster movies, this is your game!

Unexpectedly good! Nostalgic for 80s and 90s kids. You've never played a game like this! As you run through the 3rd person full 3D world, the narrator constantly makes jokes about the scene and what you are doing. Climb the tower and the camera angle automatically changes to guide you on what the game wants you to do next. It's mostly linear but fun. I did get stuck once but reloading from the auto-save points was reliable. First 20 min wasn't really my gaming style but it kept surprising me with it's humour and sprinkling of new "game mechanics" from start to the very end. I was impressed how well it handled incorporating so many references to other games sprinkled around including Mario, Space Invaders, Frogger, Donkey Kong, Dr Who, Mars Attacks, just a few simple platformer timed jumps, and more! Any other game would feel disjoint having so many styles of game play but this really does it well with short bursts. Addictive like a poker machine because you never know what's next. The game designers are masterminds! Well paced and balanced for casual gamers. It's not difficult but you can also die very quickly with some enemies until you figure out how to kill them. Mostly no loading time and jumping off the tower is encouraged to rack up new achievements which gives you Level Up skill points. The tower is cleverly designed to make you explore and jumping off at different places gives you access to new locations. The ending is perfect! Well worth slogging though :) PROS * Fun story with great narration * Dying is forgiving and instant respawn from most places * Fun variety of melee and ranged weapons with levelling up * 3D world is seamless and you can jump from the very top level to the bottom * Its much bigger than you first imagine * Achievements are actually quite fun to do and not arbitrary CONS * Simple battle mechanics. Extra mechanics exist but aren't necessary to master eg "parry" which is a dodge attack, dodge roll, deflect using a sword, jump attack (like Mario), jump + smash. * Must do achievements to level up / get skill points * Can get stuck in just a few places * Weapons mostly do the same damage, no resistance / vulnerability * Money is arbitrary and not really needed, you'll always have enough to level up * Map wasn't really useful for me * Cant zoom out camera, may feel restrictive

Fun single player game with lots of B-movie references and goofy fourth wall breaks. Yeah it's short but short games can be fun sometimes. Music's pretty decent, gameplay is decent. Overall a solid game. 7/10 would Liberate Gravoria.
