*DISCLAIMER: Purchased at -40% price during Summer Sale*

I know a whole bunch of people will likely be getting this game due to it being on the sales. So, let me just say up front. This is a game that requires a lot from you. And well...I came close to not reaching those requirements. See, the controls are very unusual - They take a LOT of getting used to and they are VERY frustrating to use at first. So frustrating that, for the past half hour of play, I had been seriously considering getting a refund on this - But not due to any real fault of the developer. Any other time, I would have been okay to just eat the paltry £6 cost and put it on my "to come back to" pile. But I am currently between jobs, so I do not have the luxury to do that. If I got a game, I told myself, it had to be something I would be happy investing in, so at first, I was close to refunding it.

But then I got better at the game.

Oh man. This is the sort of game you got back in the day where you intially find it terrible, but because you were a kid and refunds weren't a viable option, you'd keep muscling through, trying to like it...Until eventually you have that breakthrough and end up adoring it.

Something clicked with me on my tenth run, and I got all the way up to floor 8. It was exhilirating.

I would give this a tentative reccomendation, just...Know what you're getting in for. But if you're the sort of gamer that can deal with wonky controls if it results in a wonderful experience once you're used to it...Go for it. I've made far worse investments on Steam.

EDIT: 24 hours of played time later, and I have to say that the game only gets better as time goes on. Everyone thinks I'm an utter lunatic, but I love this game now. I love it so, so much. I will not spoil anything, but...After the halfway point (You'll know when it is), the game just takes a massive, unpredictable turn and goes absoloutly off the wall. Saying any more would spoil the "WHOAAAAA" aspect of it that I had, but...It is almost Undertale levels of out-of-nowhere depth and change.

And something I forgot to mention before? The music. OH. MY. GOD. Why is it that obscure games tend to have truly incredible soundtracks? This is a prime example, and more people need to hear it. So underrated, but so amazing.

Forget that tentative reccomendation - It now has a wholehearted reccomendation from me. But I'll say again. Bring your best. Show no mercy to the Tower, as you will receive none.
