The Deadly Tower of Monsters

I love the creativity of ACE team. This top down shooter, platformer is a perfect example of ACE teams oddness outside the very strange mainline series. 50s buck rodgers look and feel with a very meta plot with some fun dialogue and good mechanics along with some rough edges and some poorly explained mechanics. Fun creative game with lots fun ideas in a silly 50s sci-fi plot.

Extremely short review: ... man, I love the meta story, but the gameplay is barebones... still, when it comes down to capture the feeling of late 50's - early 60's B-movies, The Deadly Tower of Monster is one of the most competent of I've ever seen.

I just beat the game. 9/10. Fantastic game, great concept. Its such a loving homage to that old style of sci fi. the art is really the most impressive thing. The ending was really cool. My only gripe is that combat could be better.

I remember this game... It's very very charming and has a wonderful commentary from a director overseer. Well worth the $3.
