What players say
Fun bullet hell fps from cool indie devs. Got this on PS plus back in the day and am happy to be able to come back to it on PC.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
PC port is a little ruff around the edges but the game play is just how I remember it on PS4.
Rating 3/10 Intro Playing this game only reminds me of why I didn't click with most 2010s Rogue-like shooters. Relying more on unfair level design for challenge and luck. I don't think it's a stretch to say it was until Post Void and others similar to it, that the niche finally figured out how to make permadeath feel fair. Positives + Weapons have good impact. + Good aesthetics and graphics. Negatives - No perk or...

About the game
Tower of Guns is a fast paced first-person-shooter for the twitch gamer... with a few randomized elements to keep it fresh with each playthrough. It's a short burst "Lunch Break FPS"... not unlike Binding of Isaac mixed with Doom 2. Tower of Guns was made by a guy named Joe (with his brother Mike composing the music).
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 3 GB of memory, NVidia Geforce 275 GTX +512mb memory, 2 GB of storage. Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux.
