With some lovely modern pixel art and plenty of nods to old Amiga run-n-gun games, Tower 57 absolutely looks the part. However, there are some serious game breaking bugs which hamper a wholly positive and fun playing experience. I recommend this one only if you are willing to put up with restarting from earlier save points due to the unfixed issues in the game.

Tower 57 is a simple, colourful top-down shooter with stunning pixel art graphics. You’re an agent sent to figure out what’s the deal with the dystopian Tower 57, which you do by shooting your way through its floors, unlocking items and upgrading your character. The game is rather short and straight forward, only around 5 levels or so, however they are packed with secrets for you to find on your journey. I like how despite having linear progression you’re not guided through the levels and it’s your prerogative to explore the floors on your own. You also have a hub world between missions with plenty side activities to do. The game has a lot of details, the satirical dystopian plot and writing was unique and consistently got chuckles out of me. I also very much enjoyed the highly destructible environment. The combat was okay, very fast paced and flashy for sure, however it was pretty poorly balanced. Early on I unlocked a weapon which easily shredded through most enemies and bosses so I rarely used the rest of my arsenal. Enemies dealt reasonable damage but sometimes they would suddenly rip you apart in seconds. The game has two interesting mechanics which unfortunately weren’t implemented to their full potential. You pick three out of eight characters to play and when one dies you move onto the next, with the ability to revive the dead character later on. You can also lose limbs from certain attacks which you can buy mechanical replacements for. There is however no real incentive to go through with these options since it’ll cost you a lot, and with plenty checkpoints it’s far more convenient to just restart when your main character dies or loses an arm. The presence of these systems doesn’t take from the experience but it fails to add much either. The graphics are some of the best pixel art I’ve seen in a game, with a mix of retro and modern aesthetics. Not just the levels but items, UI and loading screens all have beautiful, detailed sprites. The soundtrack is also nice and does a good job hyping up the gameplay. Other reviews seem to mention issues with game-breaking bugs, however I did not come across any during my playthrough. It does seem, however, that some of the achievements are broken, so take note of that if you’re an achievement hunter. Overall, Tower 57 was a short but fun and visually appealing experience for a very reasonable price therefore I think it deserves a score of 8/10.
