Tower of Guns

PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Linux, PC (Microsoft Windows), Mac, Xbox One • 2014

Should you play it?

Tower of Guns is a fast paced first-person-shooter for the twitch gamer... with a few randomized elements to keep it fresh with each playthrough. It's a short burst "Lunch Break FPS"... not unlike Binding of Isaac mixed with Doom 2. Tower of Guns was made by a guy named Joe (with his brother Mike composing the music).

What works

  • Fast-paced, addictive gameplay
  • High replayability with randomized levels and secrets
  • Varied weapons, perks, and mods
  • Humorous and charming style

Things to keep in mind

  • Limited enemy variety (mostly turrets and robots)
  • Some repetitiveness in rooms and visuals
  • Lack of multiplayer or cooperative modes
  • No in-game options menu during play
  • Can be frustratingly difficult for newcomers
