24 Hours Remain on Kickstarter!
The time is counting down on the DeathTower Kickstarter campaign!
Having met their fundraising goals to allow themselves to self-publish, Headbang Club now looks towards their stretch goal to unlock a brand-new character in the game: the mysterious Beth. Backers can support the launch for as little as $9 USD for exclusive DeathTower HD wallpapers and emotes. Additional rewards are available for those who wish to contribute more, including digital offerings such as art books, the original soundtrack (OST), and the opportunity to have your name listed in the game’s credits. Physical offerings include T-shirts, vinyl records, copies of the game, and more. Interested players are encouraged to participate before time runs out on April 8th, 2pm ET.
A Tactical Roguelite for All
In this 2.5D isometric roguelite tactical RPG, join Ikarus, a humble machine operator, on his journey to uncover the mysteries behind the Megaryon-a never-ending megastructure tower plagued by a deadly parasite outbreak. As you climb the tower, combine stealthy infiltration and an arsenal of devastating weapons to reach your objective. A combative approach uses weapons, grenades, and ammunition to clear floors, while stealthy players can use environmental structures and resources to avoid notice. Four diverse biomes compose this tower, with numerous floors scattered throughout. Fight through each floor’s threats, use hacks in the tower’s programming to amplify your abilities and summon assists, rewind your movements in case of a fumble, or fall in battle and restart your run from the beginning.
New Demo, New Allies
In the demo update, players will unlock the new Erebus Game Hub after completing the tutorial, which features pixel-art venues and a fresh cast of characters, ready to share helpful hints. Within the Hub, players can visit the Starter Shop for items and weapons, or crimp upgrades to power themselves up between runs. Highly customizable, the demo showcases over fifty different weapons, thirteen unique tower hacks, and two fluid class trees, less than half of the total options planned for the full game. Headbang Club is excited for everyone to experience the world of possibilities in DeathTower and encourages curious players to give the demo a try! Experience the first hour of DeathTower's opening act, explore the initial few floors, and try out a fraction of what's to come in the demo's first epic boss battle.
