Tower of Guns isn't a bad game and it certainly doesn't bill itself as anything more than what it is. A "lunchbreak FPS"is indeed an apropos descriptor. Still, it doesn't bring enough new concepts to the table to really wow players.
Eurogamer: by Simon Parkin
The arcade-like structure and mounting pile of perks and weapons gives Tower of Guns an irresistible, if brief, appeal. There's tremendous fun to be had questing up the tower, amassing buffs and improvements to both your character and their weaponry, and racing against the clock. But soon enough, the repetitious enemy and environment designs begin to tire, and the initial bullishness of the evolving guns feels a little conservative; nothing goes quite far enough. Tower of Guns fails to reach the heights it might have reached, then, but provides an enjoyable run all the same.
Tower of Guns Description
Tower of Guns is a fast paced randomized FPS for the twitch gamer, a short burst “Lunch Break FPS” not unlike Binding of Isaac mixed with Doom 2. If you’re gonna win, you’re gonna do it within an hour. That’s a big if though… it won’t be easy. With random enemies, random power ups, random bosses, tons of unlockable items and weapons… and even random-level compositing–You never know what to expect! So grab a rocket-launcher, slap a shotgun-modifier on it, pick up a hundred stackable ‘double jumps’ (or centuple jumps at that point, I suppose) and get to conquering the Tower of Guns!
