    The Deadly Tower of Monsters is the latest in ACE Team's Ghastly Menagerie of Interactive Curiosities. Inventive ideas with perspective and the concept of ascending a lavishly decorated outdoor tower put some distance between The Deadly Tower of Monsters and genre conventions, but, really, it's not why you're here. You came for an ambitious descent into Chilean pandemonium and this game holistically satisfies that urgency.

    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.

    At just the length of a double feature, The Deadly Tower Of Monsters left me wanting more. The gimmick might not hold up to a marathon experience, but in the spirit of the B-movies it loves so much, it might be worth exploring in some derivative sequels.

I found myself very pleased with the idea of making a game with an old terror Sci-Fi theme. It's fun to play, and the music is so great. A little short in duration but also short in price.… Full Review »

    Five Word Review: All about the director's commentary.
    Favorite Thing: The director's commentary is definitely the highlight.
    Least Favorite    Five Word Review: All about the director's commentary.
    Favorite Thing: The director's commentary is definitely the highlight.
    Least Favorite Thing: The gameplay/combat is very repetitive. There are a bunch of different weapons but, again, they are all very same-ish.
