Welcome to the second Niche Game Club, think of a book club but for games.
We'll pick a game and
give everyone chance to play it, then meet back here for a
discussion.
I'm sticking with the
PS Plus subscription service games for now so that anyone subscribed
can pick up the game free and anyone else can try it out for £5.99.
This
month I want to take a look at The Deadly Tower of Monsters on PS4
and Steam. Don't let the cheesy title put you off, it's like that on
purpose. It's a twin stick shooter kind of game but if this doesn't
sound like your kind of thing I still recommend you try it, maybe play
the first hour. Given this is Game Club and not a review I'll let you
form your own opinions but I will say the gameplay is enjoyable so no
worries there.
The big draw of this
game is the presentation, and that's why I'm recommending it. The
whole thing from start menu to credits is set as a DVD release of a
classic sci-fi B-movie, with director commentary. There's cheesy
characters, stop-motion creatures, dramatic music and a lot of
physical special effects which ironically end up being computer
generated as part of the game.
I've loved the humour
and style but I'd like to know what y'all liked best about the game?
Was there a piece of dialogue, visual humour or reference to sci-fi
movies that you particularly enjoyed?
I'll check back in
through the month before we find something new for December.
