About Suncore Chronicles: The Tower
The game is designed to be played with a Gamepad! You might not enjoy it using mouse and keyboard.
Suncore Chronicles: The Tower is an action roleplaying game with hack-and-slay elements.
Defeat enemies, collect gear and solve riddles with up to three friends in cooperative games via Steam or LAN.
Enter the world of Interia and save it from being thrown into darkness.
Defeat hordes of enemies, from foot soldiers to mighty dragons, to make your way through a mysterious tower that appeared out of nowhere. Discover its secrets and stop the evil Scak from accomplishing his plan that would seal Interia's fate.
Suncore Chronicles: The Tower mixes several genres to give a fresh and unique gameplay experience. Beside classical action adventure elements like puzzle solving, minigames, combat and looting in a third person setting, the game also includes several other gameplay elements. Those involve platforming sections with 2D movement or "Beat em up" styled levels, which are influenced by the good old console or arcade classics.
Suncore Chronicles: The Tower has a fast paced realtime combat system, focussing on dodging enemy abilities, crowd control and using your strong abilities if the timing and positioning allows for it. The numerous bosses require the player to figure out the mechanics and timings to be able to succeed. The game also includes special dungeons meant for group play, which can require a whole group of four players to coordinate their actions in a reasonable way.
The player can change between four different specializations at any time in the game, which include two melee classes and two more range oriented caster classes. Each class has their own abilities, which can be learned throughout the game. Abilities can be leveled up to increase their strength and add additional perks. In addition, each class has a specific strength like inceased health or a higher chance to perform critical strikes.
Each enemy in the game can drop loot of different kind and quality, including armor, weapons, materials for upgrades, runes, recipes for runewords and more.
The player can save all of his equipment in sets, which (like the specialization) can be changed at any time to fit the current play style. High quality pieces of equipment can modify player abilities, proc certain effects or even form powerful sets.
The base version of the game is free to play, allowing the player to get to know the main features and feeling of the game. However, the world is restricted to the starting areas, including two tutorial sections and the first world regions. The game will be extended frequently with low cost DLCs that include new features and add more regions, enemies and of course loot.
For optimal experience, it is recommended to play with a gamepad.

✦ AI summary
Players report significant technical issues with this game, including poor optimization for different resolutions, unresponsive settings menus, inverted controls that cannot be adjusted, and motion sickness-inducing camera effects that lack customization options. Beyond technical problems, reviewers cite concerns about asset flipping, unclear tutorials, unintuitive UI, and an overall sense that the game feels unfinished and rushed to Steam. While some acknowledge the game has atmospheric potential and could appeal to certain players, the lack of polish and critical missing quality-of-life feat
I can't spot interactive objects, I can't save, I can't turn off the music separately, I don't have time to fully read the tutorial boxes, I can't like the GUI, I can't immerse myself in the broken English, I can't touch water. It's got loading screens, an invasive hud, juvenile quests, pacman-like lines of collectible tokens everywhere, and so on. It's not as bad as I possibly make it sound, and worth a try as you might like it more than I do. The main reason for me to give up quickly is that it unsettles my stomach with its camera changes, motion blurs and whatnot. It all could be improved, but it needs a drastic upgrade of the options menu.1 found this helpful
«Suncore Chronicles: The Tower» — атмосферная 2D-приключенческая игра с элементами головоломок и RPG. История разворачивается в мрачном мире, где игроку предстоит исследовать заброшенную башню, раскрывая её тайны. Графика стильная, с яркими цветами и детализированными локациями. Геймплей сочетает исследование, бои и решение логических задач, что добавляет глубины. Однако сюжет немного скучноват, а механики иногда запутаны. Звуковое сопровождение уместно, но не запоминается. Подойдёт тем, кто ценит атмосферу и интеллектуальные вызовы. В целом — достойная попытка, но с потенциалом для улучшения.
"Suncore Chronicles: The Tower" is a low key asset flip, a bunch of other people's assets assembled badly to make a basic game, typically this kind of thing is done by amateur developers without sufficient budget, talent and/or staff to do the job of game development professionally. It's then quickly rushed into Steam Direct. And, unsurprisingly, this never results in a product with any quality, interest, or value for gamers. This is a bunch of fantasy themed game assets slapped onto a basic third person brawler/hack and slash game template, all thanks to the Unity Asset Store (have you seen the developers other games? There's no way this guy went out and hired a team to do these assets or overnight came up with all this stuff). It's not free, either, this is just an advertisement, you have to unlock the full asset flip because all the content is paywalled, locked behind paid DLC. So, the game might look better than you'd expect from an amateur project, but this is because it's partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Very little in this game is truly the creation of the "developer", it's just a bunch of rearran…

Perhaps I'm missing something, but this game seems to be radically unfinished. Beware, once the game starts there are no Settings to go into, Don't choose anything over 1920x1080 or the font on the screen is TINY... illegible. Both controllers controlled the same player. Couldn't resolve this for LOCAL no matter what I tried. Furthermore, controls are reversed... and again, there are no settings to adjust. Too bad. It's a disaster.
