Release Date: March 4, 2014
Oldschool style first person shooter (FPS) with elements of a roguelike game. The player takes on the bravery of the title tower, wreaking havoc in the ranks of enemies and introducing various improvements to his weapons arsenal. The title was produced by independent studio Terrible Posture Games.
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!

Game Ratings for Tower of Guns Video Game.
Destructoid: 8.5 / 10 by Patrick Hancock
Each new combination of guns and perks can create a brand new playstyle in order to keep things fresh. Tower of Guns is a beautiful marriage of two of my favorite genres, the first-person shooter and the roguelike. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my run I paused to finish this review.
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.
GameGrin: 9 / 10 by James Furlong
Overall, Tower Of Guns is a stunning example of how old-school design is still relevant and fun in today's industry.
