Review: Tomb Towers (Steam Early Access)

The necromancer is hiding in a locked tomb tower. Solve puzzles, acquire keys and open doors until you catch-up with him.

Pros:

  • MSX era inspired graphics.
  • Full controller support.
  • Steam achievements.
  • Three save slots.
  • Puzzle platformer gameplay.
  • Chiptune soundtrack.
  • Unlock new outfits and additional levels.
  • Many traps and enemy types.
  • 40+ ,ain levels.
  • The game is all about timing.
  • Short but effective levels.
  • Time- You control this which affects the game speed of enemies and platforms and even the music. You can slow it all down or speed it all up.
  • The goal in each level is to get the key and get to the exit.
  • Instant restart button.
  • 79MB Download size.
  • Tutorial slowly reveals itself over time.
  • Collectibles- Treasure and extra lives.
  • Brutal one pixel hit deaths.
  • Satisfying gameplay.
  • A true test of eye and hand coordination.
  • Simple yet effective.
  • Strong Reto game feels to it from the music to the controls.

Cons:

  • No graphics options.
  • Once you are done there is little need for replaying.
  • Brutal one pixel hit deaths.
  • Doesn’t play in full game screen. The screen is always small is what I am saying.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
