Towertale

Today's game, Towertale, is a less popular one that probably wouldn't meet my standards for selection these days, but I decided to give a try anyways.
It's a boss rush action game, with 4 different characters. The game is quite simple, with no progression, no map traversal, just boss battle after boss battle. Each of the 4 characters has their own storyline that you can experience as you go through the bosses, and a different moveset, making you approach the same bossfights differently each playthrough.

While this game would be good for a Flash or indie game, I find it a bit basic and lacking for comaprison with "serious" games. The boss and character design is decent, considering each boss has to work with each character, but I found the characters handled poorly. The story and art do their job, but are otherwise sub-par. There might be a bit more merit to this game when you consider it can be played in up to 4-player co-op, but sadly only locally.
Overall, a reasonable indie game, but lacking in content and quality for me to really recommend it.
