Tower 57

Whoever compared this to The Chaos Engine has never played it. Both. There are several different characters and it's topdown, that is what they have in common. This is a clunky, buggy mess. It's a SNES-style action-RPG. The gunplay is just awful, there is no flow. None of the weapons feel good, and all of them (except the fall back peashooter) have limited ammo. Online multiplayer is unstable, we never managed to play longer than about half an hour without players being disconnected. Rather fire up the Amiga-Emulator...or try something like Synthetik.

This comes pretty close to scratching the itch fans of "The Chaos Engine" have been dealing with for a good long while . It's packed with bullets, bloods, bones, and horrific sudden deaths. All of which are nicely rendered and coupled with a sardonic sense of humor. The game is up front with what it's all about, and is a good time for those who pick their fights wisely. Well worth the money.

Unable to get my twin-stick controller to work with this game in OSX (which works in several other GOG games pefectly fine). Spent 20 min looking for a solution.... look somewhere else untill they address some of the bugs...

The game is nice and I would enjoy it very much however, the version on GOG is 17.84 (while there's version 18.48 available in the field already). Current version available on GOG is bugged, it's extremely easy to get stuck on objects and I've already experienced several hang ups at the end of first level (when I was able to get to the end without being glued to some random object and had to restart the level). I'm sorry to say that, as I'm a great fan of DRM free games and love GOG's work, but at this time I would NOT recommend buying the game here. It's practically unplayable in it's current state (or at least highly frustrating to play).

The best game of 2017 is here. Tower 57 is it. There is nothing that beats it in 2017 for sure. The price on Steam etc is also way too low. The humongous work behind this game isn't covered we think at all. And when we add that this game does support LAN playing over the Internet. The score should be 1 million...! This game is the best thing that have happened to the gaming world in 2017. It preserves the past. It gives you the adrenaline and it shows you the humongous work that have been done to create this Kickstarter game that is out on services like GOG and Steam. Tower 57 is out for many platforms which is one of it strongest points. However, a classic Amiga release would be perfect. But its really nothing that pulls the score down at all in this review. The fact that they support the nextgen Amiga platforms is a humongous positive reason instead. Get Tower 57! I haven't been sponsored or anything writing so many positive words about this game. But this is my honest opinion about this game. This is the Game Of The Year 2017! Thanks to all that have donated to this Kickstarter project and to those creating this game so that it became a reality. Tower 57 is what the world needed right now. Love and humongous respect. Tower 57 is it. Get it Now! runrunrun... You won't regret it. You won't! http://distrita.com/tower-57-is-just-xtravaganza-amazing-game-of-the-year-2017/
