Tower of Guns is a pure FPS experience for the players who just want to get a big gun, shoot stuff, battle gigantic bosses, upgrade their abilities and modify their gear. No stupid NPCs to get in the way, no ridiculous story to explain what you are doing there. You’re the good guy, they are the bad guys. If you get to the end, you win.
But that is a BIG “if”. The brutal difficulty and randomized levels make sure that you will need to earn your right to see the top of the Tower of Guns. Each death sends you back to the first floor, but stronger and better equipped. The levels and enemies are randomly generated for each run. This means that you will be playing a different game every time you re-start.
Imre Schouten, Marketing Manager at SOEDESCO said the following about the game: “Tower of Guns is an excellent shooter with old school leanings. That is one of the reasons why a retail release is such a logical fit.”
There are over 20 weapons and countless modifications and upgrades to get. There are items to collect and perks to help you on your way. And you will need help, because Tower of Guns is a bullet-hell style game in the first person view. The enemies are merciless and you’ll need to be constantly on the move, dodging bullets. Forget cover mechanics or stealth missions – instead it is time to re-learn strafing and double-jumping and enter each room with guns blazing. And just when you think you are out of the worst, you’ll meet one of the game’s many huge bosses, like the Doomball or the Egg Scrambler. You will die and you will die a lot.
If that’s still not enough for you, Tower of Guns has countless secret rooms to find and rare items to get. There are even secret game modes and stages to unlock!
Key Features:
- Always a fresh experience: Random enemies, random powerups, random bosses, tons of unlockable items and weapons...even random-level compositing! You never know what to expect when you sit down in front of Tower of Guns.
- Crazy powerups: You've played first person shooters where you can double jump, but have you played any game where you can centuple-jump? In Tower of Guns, with the right items, you can!.
- Gun-modifying madness: A gun and its qualities aren't tied together in Tower of Guns. Do you like rocket launchers? You'll like them more if you're lucky enough to stumble upon a "Shotgun" modifier. A rocket-launching shotgun is very satisfying.
- Single sitting full experience: For all of those who have too many games (or too little time) this is a game you can pick up and play again and again, without remembering where you were or what you were up to. If you're gonna win, you're gonna be able to do it over your lunch break. That's a big if though, it won't be easy…
