March 2025
A nice but inoffensive pastiche of 50s American sci-fi movies with terrible 'retro' filters and repetitive gameplay balanced out by a hilarious narration and many welcome references. If you know what the poster is imitating, then chances are this is the game for you.

This game is exactly the same kind of classic cult material as the ‘movie’ it is about. Loved it.

(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!

This is a short game that has a killer aesthetic, pretty good jokes, and simple and enjoyable combat.

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!
