    A beautiful game, particularly good for two players. It needs something else to be unforgettable, but fans of the genre will definitely enjoy it.

    Sold twin-stick fundamentals executed to reasonably successful effort. [Issue#269, p.62]

    If you are a fan of pixel art or Amiga-style twin-stick shooters, you will probably have a nice time with Tower 57, especially if you are playing with a friend.

    Tower 57 reminds you of good old Pixel Art days, priced at 11.99$ only, and even though it’s pretty short, will still bring you some real fun.

    Tower 57 is a great tribute to the Commodore Amiga 500. The game succeeds in capturing the essence of 16 bits old school shooters, but it has yet some problems to be solved.

    Tower 57 feels refreshing from the usual band of retro-inspired games right from the get-go, but it’s pacing issues and poor use of checkpoints often make the game a struggle to progress through. Yet despite it all, there remains a competent gameplay loop that is fun to play, alongside a world that is a delight to explore. Like the developers say, this may be a game that is better played with friends, but even a solo player who is looking for a new top down shooter inspired by games from the SNES era should be able to find some enjoyment out of Tower 57.

    Tower 57 is altogether a solid game. It doesn't quite deliver twin-stick gameplay on par with its presentation, but it's still pretty enjoyable. The variety of weapons is nice, and the scenarios presented in each stage make good use of them. It's also great to a visit a world that's so lovingly crafted. The sprite work and animations are very well done. If time permits, gamers should strive to fit at least two playthroughs into their busy schedule, just to see everything.

    Why I can't review this game and all the time "error 403 forbidden" comes up...? I can only write one or two sentences?
