This game is unforgiving. This game is catastrophically, fundamentally difficult. This game is life-ruining, and yet one cannot halt the desire to climb. One must and will climb. Perseverance is key, for the further one progresses, the more bounties the game presents. It can get unhealthily (destructively even) addicting, so please be mindful of your mental and physical health. You are likely to feel an entire array of emotions throughout your journey, sometimes within a short time span. It can be despair, mania, panic, euphoria, relief, tension, fear, doom, dizziness, greed, contentment, rage, bloodlust, bloodlust, bloodlust, bloodlust, bloodlust.

To be submissive is to be still! Oh High and Mighty Tower! Our true devotion never moves. The Tower is Tall! The Tower is Tall! Those who move are heretics. The hand of God will slay. In the green all will be seen. Move not. Pray night and day.

Great game, very exciting Hard as heck, I would buy it on console too if it ever manages to come out there. Works really great on my crap computer

Desperately Convincing You to Buy TowerClimb Alright, here’s the deal. This is the first review I’m writing in like 10 years of buying games on Steam. I’m someone who plays as many roguelites as I can and always look for the games you can pour hundreds if not thousands of hours into; the FTLs, Isaacs, Slay The Spires, Spelunkys, etc. of the genre. Games you can more or less effectively come back to forever, like Solitaire or something. So when I look at reviews, I tend to pay attention to the average player time. When I saw the reviews of TowerClimb, safe to say I was fucking blown away. Almost everyone has 100+ hours, yet the game had a staggeringly low amount of reviews. You can check the New & Trending section for Roguelites right now and find countless new games with lower playtimes and less glowing reviews, but review counts that blow this games out of the water. You might notice I’ve barely played the game, and it’s true, I’ve played for like an hour. I actually played it some years ago too, and ended up refunding it as I was pretty underwhelmed. But this time around, I had to see what it was that made it so repayable to people, and I found a video on YouTube called “TowerClimb - Spelunky’s Deranged Cousin”. If you are interested in this game like I am, and don’t mind having some of its secrets (which realistically, you would have to look up to uncover, anyways) spoiled for you, I implore you to check it out. The amount this game has going for it is staggering and absolutely unexpected based on this store page. To get to the game’s “Legendary” ending, you have to undergo a rigoruous series of challenges to collect several shards, and one of them involves playing the Regular Ending’s final boss in a 1v1 game of basketball, minigame that appears nowhere else in the game. You can then keep the basketball in your inventory for the rest of your run and dribble it to use as a weapon. And most players will probably never see it, even after playing for dozens of hours and beating the main game. That is the level depth and content at play in TowerClimb, and if I hadn’t watched that video, I would have thought this game was 1% as deep as it actually is. This game needs more love. It has less than 300 reviews on Steam after having been released for nearly 10 YEARS at the time of writing this. The developer was planning to add even MORE content to the already staggering amount in the form of a third chapter, but no news has been heard for years. If this game gets more attention and blows up, there’s a chance it might still happen someday, and the game could even be ported to consoles, get proper Steam Deck support (don’t worry I played it on Deck fine after 5 mins of tinkering, just need to look up how to fix Towerclimb using Protonfix with a guide online), etc. Please buy it for yourself. As I’m writing this all I can think about is how eager I am l to pour countless hours into this game and explore all it has to offer.

I don't normally write reviews for games, but I feel like this is a deserved exception. TowerClimb is a masterfully crafted game that deserves far more recognition than it has received, and it is without a doubt, one of the best platformers I have ever played. It is one of the most difficult games I have ever played, but it is also the single most rewarding game I have ever played, and I haven't even beaten it yet. Seriously, just give this game a shot if you like difficult, methodical platformers.
