As I trudged through one meaningless combat encounter after another, I found some solace in the things that surrounded me. The vibrant and tactile world is charming, and it was impressive to see the stories and enemies of hours past rushing upwards as I plummeted from the tower. While the stylistic appeal of science fiction schlock may be niche, The Deadly Tower of Monsters has silly sights that effectively recall the iconic parts of the works that inspired it, if not much else.

By WCCFTech onMinor issues aside, The Deadly Tower of Monsters is a pleasant surprise indeed and a particularly impressive budget action game showcasing a lot of creativity. The quirky retro cheeseball charm may be the main selling point (right down to having a “VHS” filter you can use on the graphics), but the gameplay still has quite a bit of meat on its bones as well. So if you have a taste for the days of laser pistols and killer brain monsters, or if you like unique action games in general, check it out. It’s work worthy of the Satellite of Love crew (and I mean that in a good way).
