'Lucky Tower Ultimate' Steam Early Access Delayed, New Date Set For September - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Aug. 14, 2024 @ 9:00 a.m. PDT

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.


Originally planned for August 2024, developer Studio Seufz and publisher AMC Games announced that Lucky Tower Ultimate will be launching into Steam Early Access on September 13, 2024, for $14.99 USD.

The release trailer is a window into the dangers a player may encounter on their randomly-generated runs. Plus, at the very end, there’s a peek at the village that lies just outside the tower! Once the player completes a successful run, they can visit a bank to deposit money earned in the tower, unlock new hairstyles at the barber, buy new items for their next journey into the tower, and relax after a stressful run in the tavern with rescued companions.  

For players who have already poured way too many hours into the Lucky Tower Ultimate demo, there’s tons of new content to enjoy at Early Access launch, including:  

  • Descend a more robust tower, featuring new segments with distinctive art styles and unique twists on gameplay never seen before in the Lucky Tower series
  • After successful runs, make meta-progression in the village, enjoying the loot and companions you liberated from the tower along the way
  • New companions and new enemies to meet, defeat, or retreat from
  • Steam achievements, and more!

On their quest, the player will meet a large cast of quirky, hand-drawn monsters. The Riddle Master may reward a witty player with loot, hungry fiends lurk in every darkened corner, and witches guard a laboratory where potent potables are brewed. The tower’s mastermind, Evelius, hints that we may need to do more than just escape the tower to defeat him... follow the Early Access journey to unravel the mystery!

During Early Access, there will be three major milestone updates leading up to a capstone update for the 1.0 release. These updates will add new areas to the game, additional companions, and sprawling questlines. The full release of the game will include a final boss fight and the True Ending, and it’s expected to launch in 2025 on PC (Steam and Epic Game Store).

Key Features:

  • From broccoli to dead enemies, everything in the game can be used as a weapon
  • A village for commerce and meta-progression awaits you outside the tower
  • Companions reacts to the way you treat them - friends turn to foes if you step on their toes
  • Endgame for those who seek to truly become the ultimate knight
  • Randomly generated levels and haircuts keeps every playthrough fresh
  • A hero that makes dying fun
  • Hand-drawn 2D graphics
  • Full voice acting makes for kickin’ times and smashing punchlines

Lucky Tower Ultimate is in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for 2025.
