The gaming world boasts many excellent single-player, third-person shooters, such as Dead Space, Returnal, and Metal Gear Solid, each offering unique and critically acclaimed experiences. However, Project Tower stands out with its distinctive feature: allowing players to morph into aliens mid-battle.
Developed by a small team of four at Yummy Games, Project Tower casts you as a captive fighting against the Hiks, an alien race that has invaded Earth to force humans into a brutal alien gameshow. Players must battle their way up treacherous alien-infested towers, facing increasingly powerful creatures and challenging boss fights as they ascend.
The game empowers players with more than just conventional weapons. You'll master the art of Metamorphing, transforming into the very aliens you defeat. From space maggots to formidable creatures reminiscent of Fallout's Deathclaws, shapeshifting provides a combat advantage and allows you to solve environmental puzzles.
Furthermore, you can transform into various machines and devices to overcome obstacles and progress through the tower.
While early gameplay footage reveals somewhat basic environments, Project Tower's unique concept is captivating. Its modest price and introductory discount further enhance its appeal.
Project Tower is available now on Steam with a 20% launch discount, bringing the price down to $19.99 / £16.79. A demo right here is also available for those who prefer to try before they buy.
