Tower Realm

Tower Realm is a collection of Magic Tower games from China, in similar style to the ones you would see on h5mota. The towers are mechanically basic, sticking mostly to the core of the rules - you have your HP, Atk and Def stats, you have your Shield stat that is common in motas from China, you have your keys. Occasionally a piece of equipment will have a special ability, but these abilities are really not the focus here. Oh, and the line "We ensure that every tower has at least one clearable solution without using the Green Key." you can see in the store description? This is a threat. Even the Saga of Tower chapter 1, which is intended to be the easy tower, will make you work hard for the greenless clear - and the towers only get harder from there. And that's despite the very basic mechanics involved, which honestly makes it impressive that they managed to get the difficulty so tight. Every microdecision seems to matter a lot in all the currently available towers. Not to say that macro decisions don't matter either, but there are significiantly fewer of them. I kinda wish there was a bit more of an incentive to playing Custom mode - right now it feels kind of pointless. You can …

Fun and fairly easy (at least on green keys mode) magic tower game. It also has a story, which is sort of unusual for this subgenre... Anyway, right now it has really bad reviews for some reason, which seems to be people being upset about the DLC pricing. But $2 for a tower is about fine in America, so don't let the reviews get you down.

Tower Realm - Destined Melody. I've been trying to find this game for years as I've played it as a child. It's a great old RPG game with a nice story and some plot twists. Relatively easy to play. The three games in the collection all use the same assets for the dungeons.
