The Deadly Tower of Monsters

The Deadly Tower of Monsters is a very enjoyable romp.

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.

The Deadly Tower of Monsters is an interactive love letter to MST3K but also to those who love the old sci-fi movies that were featured on the show. You’ll have a blast not only playing the title but also listening to the commentary or trying to spot from where all the different elements originate.

The Deadly Tower of Monsters is a fleeting experience, but one that no B-movie fan should go without.

At its core this is nothing more than common arcade carnage. But the B-movie presentation draws you into this bizarre and trashy world.

Nice humor, fierce combat and a very cool concept. They should’ve cut the final stretch and the ending, though.

As a big fan of cinema in general, I had a lot of fun playing The Deadly Tower of Monsters. The game takes you back to the good-old days of movies and has a lot of fun with its B-movie setting. Especially the comments of the “director” that are injected into the gameplay, prove to be a constant source of comedy. Besides that, shoddily improvised movie-sets and stop-motion-like enemies only further add to the game’s charm. But other than its unique tone, The Deadly Tower of Monsters has not that much else to offer. So even with it being only a run-of-the-mill action-game, I can recommend The Deadly Tower of Monsters to every Cinephile.

An enjoyable parody of low budget sci-fi movies from the 50s. [03/2016, p.55]

B movie humor can't entirely save B level gameplay.

A good sense of humor and a humble tribute to classic science fiction movies that tries to give variety to its action, but it still remains a plain game. Full of charm, that’s for sure.

It's a short but interesting experience: it has personality, and that really makes it shine in some aspects.

As an action game, it’s streamlined and not terribly deep, but the labyrinthine tower itself is an inspired setting and the premise of the game and its excellent execution are fresh enough to fill in the gaps when the combat starts to disappoint.

That said, while The Deadly Tower of Monsters might be silly and a little clunky, it’s hard not to root for something that lovingly apes (for lack of a better word) a bygone era so successfully.
