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.
GameSpot: 8 / 10 by Tyler Hicks
The fantastic Tower of Guns combines the elegant dodging dance of bullet hell gameplay with a first-person shooter roguelike
PlayStation Universe: 7.5 / 10 by John-Paul Jones
A shamelessly hardcore FPS, Tower of Guns places a premium on player skill over the linear, big-budget Hollywood narratives that we're used to.
GamingBolt: 6.5 / 10 by Oliver VanDervoort
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.
