Atlus and ACE Team (Zeno Clash, Zeno Clash 2, Rock of Ages, Abyss Odyssey) have revealed The Deadly Tower of Monsters for Playstation 4 and PC.
The game is coming some time this fall across both platforms, and as indicated by the above trailer, it’s rife with 70s b-tier science fiction fun. The Deadly Tower of Monsters is an action adventure in which you can fight Nuclear Ants, Lizard Men, and many more via the state-of-the-art Monsterama vision.
You’ll be playing as Dick Starspeed, Scarlet Nova, and The Robot. As you progress through the various worlds, the infamous tower remains visible the entire time. Each of the protagonists have their own strengths and weaknesses, and you’ll can swap in between them at any of the checkpoints, which are known as Sleep Chambers.
Eventually, you’ll climb further into outer space, and all of the enemies can climb or fly up the tower and attack you. You can also use your vertical position to your advantage, as jumping off areas to reach ones below can help you discover new areas, hidden paths, and even hidden areas.
Here’s the press release, via Atlus:
