    Tower of guns, what to say about it... Its frenetic, old school shooter action at its finest, a pure joy to play with a perfect difficulty curve, you will dies quickly when you first start playing the game, mainly due to your lack of perks and guns. Once unlocking one gun you like and one useful the perk Tower of Guns becomes your playground for mechanical murder.

    The only game I really want to compare it too is Ziggurat being as they are both randomly generated level, permadeath shooters with a wide variety of weapons and perks to make every playthrough seem different, the one big selling point i think tower of guns has over ziggurat is that you control the pace, whereas in ziggurat you have to defeat every enemy you come across, ToG offers you the oppertunity to speed run your way through levels or you can take your time killing everything and try to find every secret in every level (theres a lot of them)

    Its a fantastic experience, a steal at only £11.99 or free right now on PS4, Id highly recommend you go and play it.    … Expand

    Old school is back, finally we can play a game that i can call FPS, every gun has its own style, it is fun to kill enemies here. This game doesn't cost a lot. Must have

    L'indé du jour est comme d'habitude un étron -le contraire nous eut étonné- du type "crève et recommence, connaaard". Il s'agit d'un FPS bourrin et idiot qui fait passer sans effort Doom pour un jeu d'intellectuels : on tire sur des objets et surtout sur des canons qui ne nous aiment pas (pourquoi tant de haine...) et accessoirement sur des boss survoltés particulièrement vénères (pourquoiL'indé du jour est comme d'habitude un étron -le contraire nous eut étonné- du type "crève et recommence, connaaard".

    Il a certes le mérite de tourner à 60 im/s et d'utiliser le moteur Unreal bien connu mais... ça s'arrête là. La direction (?) artistique (?!) n'a rien d'artistique : on a en effet rarement vu aussi vilain en matière de FPS depuis des décennies même si on pourra trouver encore plus moche ailleurs, nous n'en doutons pas (le monde indé est plein de ressources).

    Les armes qui se débloquent apparemment tous les 5 ou 10 "runs" sont toutes aussi pourries les unes que les autres et hésitent entre le pathétique et le ridicule. On ramasse des trucs qui améliorent la santé, la vitesse et l'arme... quelle inventivité ! Les effets sonores datent d'il y a bien 15 ans au bas mot, tout comme la musique qui tue euh qui pue, excusez la coquille.

    Rapidement lassé, on vire promptement la daube indé du jour parce que, mine de rien, elle encombre le disque dur.    … Expand

    Not a game to be played for hours on end, Tower of Guns is still a fun and rewarding shooter, albeit one that takes a little time to really appreciate. [Issue#125, p.84]

    Tower of Guns is a tribute to the cakewalk. The deadly tower, Tower of Guns' playground, is full of booby traps and weird enemies that change every time you start the game. Unfortunately after a few hours, the game isn't that challenging anymore.

    Tower of Guns is a nice application of the roguelike formula to the first-person shooter genre.
