Tower of Archeos

A fun little tile-matching game with an rpg twist. Simple graphics and gameplay but engaging and difficult, with a lot of ways to customise difficulty to suit.

An excellent example of upgrading a game initially made for pico 8. But even as fully stand-alone - this is a fantastic game with neat tactical gameplay, cute grapics and sounds.

Interesting 8bit-themed puzzle game, climb the tower matching baddies but watch your health and the "Quirks" each enemy has. Fairly simple rules that churn out an epic puzzle game. Minimal music and sounds but it does fit with the theme.

It's a pretty fun little puzzle game but it could use more depth.

mildly addicting, but frustrating. virtually no "obvious" or "tutorial-like" explanation in-game of different roles, abilities, etc. - the game is purely "wing it" in nature which isn't always great if the background aspects (i.e. settings, difficulty, etc) are not explained well or at all within the game itself. The design doesn't really consider audience, feels more experimental in nature as a whole but I'm okay with that - not thrilled - but okay with it. Love the art, RPG aesthetic, and the concept is unique as far as I've seen. I enjoyed playing it and trying different techniques to get further in the game. I think the music and sound effects are fun too. It's very nostalgic of NES/Genesis era fantasy games. I love a good puzzle, and this game absolutely gets my brain going. Again, the concept alone was enough to get my attention even years after its release. Sadly, to me, not entirely worth the price tag when weighing out the good and the bad. It has high replay value, but wait for a sale on this one - otherwise worth playing if you like RPGs, roguelikes, and puzzle games.

Very RNG dependent, custom difficulty modifies, 10 lvls, not enough to scratch the itch for its price.
