The Deadly Tower of Monsters is an action-adventure title developed by ACE Team and published by SEGA that succeeds by turning the charm of vintage science-fiction films into an entertaining interactive experience. Instead of taking itself seriously, the game fully embraces the campy style of classic B-movies, complete with over-the-top heroes, eccentric villains, giant monsters, and deliberately cheesy special...
This is possibly the funniest writing I've ever experienced in a game. Great voice acting, great characters and enemies. The art style is quite nice. Gameplay, controls, and platforming is competent. It is pretty linear but the self aware comedic narrative is worth your time in itself.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
About the game
Fire up your ray guns, crystal swords, and laser whips, and get ready for thrills and chills! With three incredible movie stars playing out decidedly B-level sci-fi exploits, Dick Starspeed, Scarlet Nova, and Robot will have you ready to jump off the side of the tower—right into adventure!
