Reminds me a lot of the Contra, Metal Slug and Gunforce games. You can also see some vibes from titles like Gunstar Heroes, Shatterhand or Super Turrican II. The pixel art is fantastic, game is really challenging to complete, thankfully up to normal the Continues are unlimited.
Tower 57 is an indie game made by Pixwerk and 11bit Studios and believe me this is a great title to play. When I've just touched this game, it's lovely and incredibly beautiful looking game - I love 8/16 bit era and all these pixel art levels, characters, mobs and weapons are something I like. The difficulty I took is Hard, let's hope it won't be too much for me. Everything intrigues me in this game, especially the weapons and their look, they are so amazing and beautiful. The enemies in this game are another story, they are also pretty in their own way! Add to this some steampunk climate and you have this game, in my opinion of the best titles to try this year. This is a great throwback to the 80s and 90s era when such games were extremely popular on Arcades, consoles and PCs.
