Towerland Reviews

its ok. yes.

Fun for $7

Didn't think it was worth $3. I'd rather play the Tiger Electronics version of Binding of Issac.

A nice indie game. Seen it on other websites and wanted to try the full version. A nice way to spend a nice evening. it's a bit short, but for it's price, it's not a big deal.

Towerland - 100% in 4.5 Hours Roughly. This game is challenging, tough, rude, and RAGE FUEL. My Friend purchased this game and after watching him play for 30mins, I couldn't resist hoping on the bandwagon, what a perfect and also terrible choice. Story telling - unique and not the main selling point of this game, its short and right to the point and provides unique weird names for bosses. Story telling 6/10 Atmosphere - The world outside is very dark bleak, scary and crude. the creatures and bosses fit perfect with the given art style. Not the most impressive creatures but for a game of this stature and price tag i'm impressed. I enjoy how gross and real the creatures are. The dungeons itself, same size shape the only thing different is if its bricks or some other type of brick and the colour used. Atmosphere 5.5/6/10 Game-play - Movement is delayed but simple, Shooting is simple my big issue with it is that there is no angle shooting only left, right, up. or down. This allows for some weird game play but gives me nostalgia of older titles which i'm not to opposed to. HIT-BOXES are the WORST absolutely terrible, enemy's hit boxes are so tiny that sometimes it feels like you shot 5 bullets to hit a tiny fly. Our hit box as the player is so huge its really a box and not fit to the player model. Creatures are unique and have different gimmicks that flow really well together and provide a very difficult but rewarding experience and sometimes the bad hit boxes and shooting adds to that making me feel that sometimes I was the reason i died and also that the game killed me its a 50/50. Game-play 6/10 Shop/Ability's? - There is a shop, in this shop you spend coins. Enemy's will drop Ruby's, coins etc etc that all have a different value attached to them, this provides something unique and fresh for about the first two levels and then is basic and not cared about afterwards. In the shop you can purchase only ability's; Damage, Projectile Speed, Movement Speed, Health, Range, Ratio. All of them except for ratio is self explanatory, this increases how fast you shoot bullets, not how fast the bullets go, the projectile speed upgrade increases how fast they go. very basic shop nothing to fancy no items which is a huge let down would love to see some items bombs, homing throwing weapon, health pack etc. Shop/Ability's 4/10 Levels/Difficulty - Level 1, Provides a good foundation for what is to come. RAGE. Enemy's are simple enough but provide a wide variety of enemy's. After playing level 1 god knows how many times even on higher difficulty's you can still die. The boss is super easy, stand in one spot on the left side of him and spam him after he is done running around and he's dead GG EZ Level 1 (5/10) Level 2 - New enemy's and some of them are cool and very unique designs....BUT THE SLUG the posion or toxic stuff they leave behind lasts forever and if you dont wait legit 1-2 seconds after you cant see the green it will damage you, and on the higher diffultys where it does 2-3 hearts per hit, THAT IS A LOT. other than these guys really good level. THE BOSS, what a cool boss looks weird and wacky and out of place but neat. Level 2 7/10 - Without Slugs 8/10 Level 3 - THE PRISON, this level has the perfect name because good luck getting pass it. The bird enemy's that have homing shots are obnoxious and can ruin a run way to many times. The spiders that gives birth to more spiders creates a chaotic environment which in the name of difficulty and challenge is PERFECT. The boss is simple enough very cool but also not that unique given that we are fighting spiders basically every level. This level is the hardest level out of every level HANDS DOWN it is a PRISON. Level 3 - 8/10 - Replace Birds with something else and a much harder boss 9-10/10 Level 4 - Lab, Really cool enemy's love the idea of the enemy's being these lab experiments. Enemy's are a breath of fresh air with their uniqueness, SUPER easy compared to the prison. Love the turtle like enemy's, just hate waiting for them to shoot at me so i can 3 tap them to death. Boss is very cool, if people aren't used to playing games like this, this boss can be hard but nothing compared to the levels of the PRISON. Level 4 6/10 Level 5 - Enemy's are hard and can be very rude and come out of nowhere and kill you only on the highest difficulty, on normal its a cake walk for certain but don't be careless. Final boss....He has a really cool idea....easier then every boss on normal and hard. SUPER HARD ON HARD, and that only because he does so much damage. He has a gimmick and a way to cheese him so its not that hard, but once again for the price tag I am impressed. 4/10 6/10 Worth a shot but be ready for the pain train get comfy and strap in. Summary/Total Score - This game is worth giving it a shot if you want a game to scratch your binding of Issac scratch. The price is fair but if you cant spend 7bucks don't get it, if you can get a sale its 100% worth it if you can handle the challenge. I completed the game on all three difficulty's, and It was a fair but tough challenge. Music and sounds are funny and good for about the first 30mins then i recommend finding something diffrent. Bosses and enemy's are unique to a point. Shop is helpful but nothing special.
