DeathTower is a roguelite strategy role-playing video game developed and published by Headbang Club.

About

DeathTower is a 2.5D isometric roguelite tactical RPG. Make your way through each floor and ascend to the top of the megastructure. But be careful along the way, or your body may be destroyed, forcing you to restart the adventure from the beginning!

After a maintenance operation gone horribly awry, Ikarus finds himself caught up in an adventure on the edges of a dizzyingly vast space. Who is Phi, the mysterious µbot haunting these forbidden zones?

Key Features

• Versatile Floor-by-Floor Progression – Combine stealthy infiltration and an arsenal of devastating weapons to reach your objective. Melee weapons, special attacks, heavy artillery… There’s no shortage of options, but you’ll have to make some hard decisions—you can’t take everything with you!
• Hack the Tower – Built thousands of years ago, the tower is home to countless mysteries. It operates autonomously, but you can also reprogram it to cover your escape. Use its nanomachines to amplify your abilities, hide, or summon bionic creatures.
• An Ever-Changing World – Explore the forbidden levels of the megastructure. Though officially empty, they each have their own ecosystems designed to serve the tower’s masters. Discover a hidden world with its own resources, challenges and dynamics you’ll need to understand in order to keep climbing faster and higher.

The game is being developed as updates are implemented.

No empty promises here: We’ll communicate clearly and transparently about the content we plan to develop, and what more we’d like to include if our resources allow for it.
