The Rise of the Dark Tower

This game is not for me, but I find it very charming and very good. It's clear a lot of effort has gone into this without a whole lot of budget, which I find to be just fine. The voice acting is quite good for how little of it there is (though I've been told there will be more in the future). The art, while simple, is done very well with good art direction. I found the upgrades and the progression to be very good and I thought it was a lot of fun, despite this game not being for me. I am not a fan of Vampire Survivor like games, but this one would be one of them I'd play if I was to play a vampire-survivor type game. It also has hot women in it and the developers were very nice during my entire time playing.

Incredibly Solid Debut for a Tiny Indie Team! Let's be clear: this is the very first game from Re:birth Works Studios, and for a small team, what they've built here is genuinely impressive. The Good: The Core Loop is Addictive: The roguelike action is tight and demanding. Your choices matter, and the combat feels responsive and satisfying. Synergy Hunting is the Best Part: The randomized loot and relics allow for massive, run-defining power spikes. This is where the game excels and keeps me hitting "Restart." Great Foundation: They nailed the hardest part—the core gameplay is fun. The Reality Check: Yes, being a new indie game in Early Access, it's rough around the edges. You'll see repetitive content sooner than you would in a AAA game, and the polish isn't perfect (minor bugs, simple sound design). My Verdict: If you love challenging roguelikes and want to see a promising new studio succeed, buy this game. The core action is already strong enough to be worth your time and support. I'm genuinely excited to see where they go from here!

Fun game. Especially, for a first time indie developer. I'm glad they took the time to add voice acting, love the sarcasm. Nice style, nice music. I liked playing around with all the abilities and finding new things. Also, for a game in Early Access it runs really well. No bugs that I found. Hopefully some new levels and enemies come soon. Definitely kept me wanting to search the next room. I didn't see anything that looks like AI, AI warning on the Steam page says it was just for coloring, but I didn't notice. I enjoyed it, but when it comes down to it, it has a free demo. So, it is easy enough to check out for yourself.

Played this to support an artist friend, and their designs in the game were amazing! Plus I usually love rogue-likes. I'm sad that some of the other work in the game seems to be generated from AI. I can't support or recommend this... Besides the art situation, the game itself is pretty clunky, the music doesn't really fit, and the voice acting was either repetitive(same voice-lines from the narrator over and over) or low-quality. I found myself muting the entire game because the audio was honestly terrible. The hit boxes for the enemies were annoying to deal with, having many of them hit me when I couldn't even hit them. By the time I got powerful enough to have more reach and attack more skeletons, the game crashed LOL.

LOVE THIS GAME !!!!! Very addicting

I played the game for a bit and see that it a fun game with quirky dialogues. It is in early release so expect a lot of bugs and crashes. The frequency of crashes reduced significantly with updates from the game. After roughly 10 hours. I have finally cleared the game and found wanting more. For an early access indie game made by 3 dudes, it is certainly refreshing and can be used for speed run dopamine rush. For now, I am working on clearing Nightmare mode while looking forward to future release.
