Tower of Guns - PC Game Review
Towers of Guns is an interesting rogue-like FPS, where you enter rooms with random enemies and traps.
Also like most rogue-likes, if you die, you die. No save games, no second chances.
The pace can be pretty hectic, as you dodge cannon balls, bombs, flying saws, etc. It feels very old school in that regard.
There are a few guns you can get (unfortunately, I have just unlocked the easier few) and several weird items, such as extra weapons, teleporter belts, etc. You can also upgrade a ton of stats, including damage, speed, jump - either by drops or by buying them around with coins found around the levels.
My biggest is complain is that after the initial spawn, enemies will still spawn from nowhere, specially on boss rooms. I find that quite annoying, as I am always suddenly getting hurt while I was focusing on the boss (and extra health is really hard to find).
There is a back story, but it consists of some text and an icon at the beginning of each level. Cute, but more of a quirk than anything.
Overall, an interesting option for quick games, specially if your reflexes are better than mine.
