Tower Hunter: Erza's Trial

The platforms are broken because the game unfinished. You get stuck in them, start glitching out and have to quit your run. This WILL happen on EVERY single platform in the game.

It's a good game with an uncomplicated plot, medium hardcore. Purely to kill time, nothing more. Fans of this franchise may like it.

Overall, a not recommend. As a game... it's a bit lacking, if you find it insanely cheap, it's not horrible, but barely worth the time. First, it's quite short. Next, the difficulty mostly comes from random BS instead of more fair challenges. Enemies, bosses, don't normally die on those... in fact never died from a boss, first try or not. No, what you die from are the BS traps, or camera issues, or collisions. The game is very rough, like text cut off, stuff not fully on screen, audio just cutting out when you walk through a random room, or player collisions not matching the visuals, etc... But the real issues are around level 4, with lava everywhere. They start having fire traps, enemies that can snipe you with very fast projectiles from off screen with no warning, enemies that can spawn right on you and insta damage you if you walk over them (no visual to warn of this I could figure out), and various other such things in a rouglike with limited healing per area. The worst was a rising lava area where you climb up it as the lava rises from bellow. The problem is it's a super tiny narrow area, and the camera is way too close. You literally can see about one and a half normal…

Is it good? Kinda. Great? Nope. Horrible? Not really. I got it for $2 so it’s hard to complain. First run I got to second to last stage died on boss final stage on standard rogue mode. Leveled up a lot of permanent stats. Maybe harder modes open up after you beat it once? Main character graphics are kinda fine. Stage design and graphics are pretty meh and boxy but they get the job done. Enemy design and behavior is relatively generic. Overall graphic design, menus, fonts and item icons are pretty generic and sub par. Really makes the game feel indie. Character movement and platforming is pretty choppy but you get used to it enough. Combat is mostly OK and probably pushed me to give this games a thumbs up. After my single 2 hour run idk if I’ll come back to it. It’s just not that compelling of a game compared to rogue lite action rpg lite metroidvania lite genres. But how little I paid for it it was worth it. If you want fan service it’s not really here. There’s some costumes and I didn’t unlock all of them but it all looks pretty meh. If you have like $2 to burn in your wallet and this game comes up on sale sure maybe try it. MAYBE. Full price? lol. No.

A fun enough metroidvania, but it gets to be more than a bit samey.
