(November 2016 )
The Deadly Tower of Monsters mixes beat 'em up and twin-stick shooter elements, with a fixed camera system seen from a top-down perspective .[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
There is also a 4-player cooperative and hard mode, released on 14 March 2016, and survival mode, released on 4 October the same year – both exclusively to Windows version.[7] [8]
Plot
[ edit ]
The Deadly Tower of Monsters follows three actors in the in-game space opera movie of the same name: Jonathan Digby who stars as Dick Starspeed – an astronaut hero who crash-lands his spaceship on the outlandish planet Gravoria, ruled by a tyrannical Emperor; Stacy Sharp as Scarlet Nova – daughter of the planet's evil Emperor; and The Robot as Robot – a co-pilot and Starspeed's trusty sidekick .[3] [9]
The game's frame story is that of an early 1970s B movie The Deadly Tower of Monsters recently released on DVD, with the director's commentary of its in-universe director Dan Smith, serving as a combination of tutorial and meta -commentary on the game, providing an explanation as to why many default elements of shooters would be in what is ostensibly a film (the player being required to break boxes to obtain items, for example, is taken as the lead actor ad-libbing on Smith's advice to make sure every moment was somewhat exciting).
Development
[ edit ]
The Deadly Tower of Monsters was announced on 12 June 2015.[10] ACE Team founders, it was initially planned as a dungeon crawler set in a vertical labyrinth, with the "more generic fantasy".[3] [3] 1950s and 1960s science fiction films , including the Godzilla franchiseForbidden Planet Plan 9 from Outer Space Flash Gordon Lost in Space [3] [4] [11] Jane Fonda 's heroine Barbarella , from the 1968 film of the same name .[3] Mystery Science Theater 3000 Joel Hodgson , which ACE Team loved; and Ed Wood , an American cult filmmaker .[3] [4] stop motion and rotoscoping technique.[12]
The Deadly Tower of Monsters trailer was published on 2 December 2015, followed by the game's release on 19 January 2016.
Reception
[ edit ]
The Deadly Tower of Monsters received above-average reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic .[13] [14] Destructoid The Deadly Tower of Monsters is a fleeting experience, but one that no B-movie fan should go without."[6] PlayStation LifeStyle said, "Just like the movies it tries to emulate, the game is so bad with its special effects, dialogue, and set-pieces that it's rather good."[9] Hardcore Gamer said, "Minor issues aside, The Deadly Tower of Monsters is a pleasant surprise indeed and a particularly impressive budget action game showcasing a lot of creativity."[4]
