'Lucky Tower Ultimate' Steam Early Access Update Adds Alternative Path, New Voice Lines, Enemy, Quest, Widescreen Support And More

by Rainier on Nov. 7, 2024 @ 1:04 a.m. PST

Lucky Tower Ultimate is a slapstick, roguelike slashy slash adventure that looks like a cartoon and feels like a joke.

Embark on a quest with the delightfully narcissistic knight, Von Wanst (gorgeous hair), as he attempts to free himself from a perplexing tower. Explore a labyrinth of unpredictable outcomes filled with deadly traps, monsters, and even other prisoners to join in the escape.

Lucky Tower Ultimate is a roguelite adventure game infused with slapstick humor and a hand-drawn aesthetic, where each run feels like an immersive cartoon. It continues the cult classic Flash game series about choosing between three mysterious doors. The Lucky Tower beckons seasoned fans and new players alike to experience the unique pleasure of getting all geared up just to slip on a banana peel and die.

In this twisty tale, your decisions are the key to multiple ways to end the run — each more complex than the last. Everything and everyone reacts to your actions, for better or worse. Selfishly slash your way down and use companions to your advantage, or safely reach civilization together.

Every door, every step, and every battle is an invitation to embrace the unexpected, where you can never truly prepare for what’s coming next. Acquire potions, armor, or magical treasures to sow mayhem on the next floor and discover the secrets buried within the Lucky Tower.

Lucky Tower Ultimate is the first premium game in the Lucky Tower series, and it’s a true culmination of all the goofy jokes, quirky characters, and deadly perils enjoyed tens of millions of times over in the days of Flash gaming. Continuing its trademark design of presenting three mysterious doors on each floor, the tower beckons new and returning fans to experience the joys of getting all geared up... just to slip on a banana peel and die.

Hey Adventurers, the first Lucky Tower Ultimate Steam Early Access update, “The Cave” is out now!

Here’s what's included in this update:

  • The Cave
  • More than 666 new voice lines
  • 5+ new achievements
  • Ultra Widescreen support
  • New enemy: troll
  • New village quest

What is The Cave?

The Cave offers an alternative way to escape the tower once you reach the exit door, allowing you to refuse Evelius’s offer and avoid the boss fight. This longer route out of the tower and into the Village will be a dark and atmospheric maze, visually reminiscent of Studio Seufz’s game The Longing. Companions can go insane in these tunnels, so be careful to keep morale high!

Patch Notes

New Features

  • Cave segment added to the tower. It can be found by opening the barred door in the final room of the regular tower
  • New troll enemy
  • A hidden treasure room can be found in the caves
  • Six new types of mushrooms (currently only found in the caves)
  • Items now react to being hit by stomp traps and anvils. Steel and gold items will be turned into discs that can be used as deadly frisbees. Other items are destroyed or pushed away
  • New quest in the village: In the castle area, you can talk to a sculptor to request a giant gold statue of yourself. Be warned, this will require a lot of gold...

Quality of Life Improvements

  • The UI has been optimized for a lot more resolutions, including Ultra Widescreen

    The time limit for the monkey selection has been raised to 60 seconds

Bug fixes
