A fast-paced roguelike-like old-school medium-core single-serving first-person gun-shooter. WHAT?!

Tower of Guns, a first person shooter in which you storm a enemy-filled tower that is randomized to offer a different experience with each exciting play-through, is available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.49 for the next 24 hours!

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/tower_of_guns][/url]Tower of Guns is a game designed to give you a full single-serving FPS experience everytime you play it. Each floor of the tower you'll be attempting to capture consists of a random set of predefined rooms, populated with different setup of enemies, loot, and power-ips. The game also offers many different combinations of weapons and character perks, adding special flavor to every play. Even the narrative is selected at random, so the backstory can have you follow strict orders from your commanding officer just to make you into a delivery boy with an important package the next time around. The silly dialogs are well in sync with the game's humorous tone that makes everything from the descriptions of your guns down to the names of bosses into a light-hearted joke. All that comes with somewhat cartoonish graphics, some quirky puzzles, and zany gameplay ideas. The game can prove to be challenging and may force you to dust off your old-school shooter skills, like circular strafing and bunny-hopping. Be warned, though described as a "lunch-break" type of game, beating the tower takes up to an hour, so make sure you've got some time left to actually eat your lunch. Or better yet, try not to play it in your lunch break at all. It's too fun and addictive to put down, and it could ruin your productivity for the day!

Master the art and science of gunslinging while tower-running in the endless canonade brought to you by the Tower of Guns, for only $7.49 on GOG.com. The 50% off Gem Promo discount offer lasts until Thursday, June 12, at 9:59AM GMT.

Impaler26: Neat Promo! But i won't buy a game that can be finished in 1 hour! :D
It will take you longer than that to finish it :) It's not an easy game by any means :)

Impaler26: Well, i just read that in reviews so even if the game is hard as hell there are apparently a few people who could finish the game in hour.
Maybe they had an easy run or they picked the right perks :) I had over 100 deaths and one win and I don't consider myself a total slouch when it comes to FPS games :P

inc09nito: I guess It's the same as "someone beat Dark Souls 2 in 20 minutes" or "someone was able to beat Morrowind in 10 minutes".
Or Fallout 1 in 20 minutes :D

Shadowcat: I would make a firm assumption that it wasn't their first time playing it.

But regardless, a semi-randomised game like this is designed to be played a great many times before you get good enough to complete it, and usually intended to remain appealing beyond that point, so you will complete the game many times, and enjoy yourself each time, because it's always different.

Digital Eel's Infinite Space games are good examples -- games you can "finish" in 20 minutes, and yet I would easily have spent in excess of 50 hours playing them.
I like unlocking the collectibles in ToG as there are tons of them and the dev has just recently added new guns in the latest update :D

amok: I would like to see you staring NIghtmare using The Hedgehog in 1 hour :)

Not to mention - I would like to see actually manage to unlock the Hedgehog or Nightmare in an hour...

In other words - you may manage to kill the last boss on a normal run in less than an hour, but this will give you about 2% of the game completed, missing several bosses, and you will at most get to see about 10% of the rooms and, and only get at most 5 of the items. It is a rogue like, it has hours of replayability.

Get this game, it is really good.
Don't forget that there is an Endless Mode :)

IAmSinistar: Is this like Risk Of Rain in that regard, in that each play through unlocks items that are available on subsequent plays? I admit that I find games like that rather compelling, since the game itself is on the short side but it takes multiple plays to really make progress.
Yes, it's exactly like that :) You have a collection that you look over and see descriptions of items unlocked and then you can look over the guns you have unlocked and any perks that you have unlocked in your profile :)

IAmSinistar: Sweet, so you have more options with each subsequent play. I think I may have to pick this up then. :)
You won't regret it, I ga-ron-tee that :D
