Much like Wasteland 3 or Tactical Breach Wizards, DeathTower features tactical turn-based combat that allows players to plan and strategize utilizing the various weapons and skills they have at their disposal. Newcomers can check out the demo version to get a preview of the gameplay firsthand.
Towering climb
DeathTower takes place in a dystopian world governed by a mysterious megastructure. You play as Ikarus and during one of your routine maintenance jobs, something goes wrong and you find yourself at the bottom of the tower, at the edge of a vast space. You must now make a perilous climb back to the top while discovering the secret behind a bot named Phi roaming the tower.
There are six playable characters to choose from and over 30 enemy machine types to face as you explore four distinct biomes with bosses waiting at each location. Invest in your expansive class skill tree to come up with different combinations of moves, as well as over 70 weapons that will let you create a play style that suits you.
The tower is autonomous and constantly changing, but you can counter these using Hacks that let you manipulate the floor and even summon creatures. Now, aside from its demo, there is still no release date when the game will officially come out. If you liked what you played and want more, you will have to wait for a while longer for more future updates.
Bots and machines
To conclude, DeathTower is shaping up to be an intriguing sci-fi adventure filled with mysterious bots and sentient machines at the center of it all. There are diverse characters that you can train using diverse skill trees, and the Hacking abilities are a nice touch that complements the unpredictable nature of the tower's floors. Give this one a try, and watch out for the full release.
