    The Deadly Tower of Monsters is the latest in ACE Team's Ghastly Menagerie of Interactive Curiosities. Inventive ideas with perspective and the concept of ascending a lavishly decorated outdoor tower put some distance between The Deadly Tower of Monsters and genre conventions, but, really, it's not why you're here. You came for an ambitious descent into Chilean pandemonium and this game holistically satisfies that urgency.

    Minor issues aside, The Deadly Tower of Monsters is a pleasant surprise indeed and a particularly impressive budget action game showcasing a lot of creativity.

    As a big fan of cinema in general, I had a lot of fun playing The Deadly Tower of Monsters. The game takes you back to the good-old days of movies and has a lot of fun with its B-movie setting. Especially the comments of the “director” that are injected into the gameplay, prove to be a constant source of comedy. Besides that, shoddily improvised movie-sets and stop-motion-like enemies only further add to the game’s charm. But other than its unique tone, The Deadly Tower of Monsters has not that much else to offer. So even with it being only a run-of-the-mill action-game, I can recommend The Deadly Tower of Monsters to every Cinephile.

    An enjoyable parody of low budget sci-fi movies from the 50s. [03/2016, p.55]

    B movie humor can't entirely save B level gameplay.

    The Deadly Tower of Monsters is not the tightest 3D hack-and-blast arcade homage you’ll ever play, but it is the only one to feature puppies dressed as deadly hoovers, amazing stop-motion dinosaurs, and set design to rival Forbidden Planet.

I found myself very pleased with the idea of making a game with an old terror Sci-Fi theme. It's fun to play, and the music is so great. A little short in duration but also short in price.… Expand

    Five Word Review: All about the director's commentary.
    Favorite Thing: The director's commentary is definitely the highlight.
    Least Favorite    Five Word Review: All about the director's commentary.
    Favorite Thing: The director's commentary is definitely the highlight.
    Least Favorite Thing: The gameplay/combat is very repetitive. There are a bunch of different weapons but, again, they are all very same-ish.
