In a post-apocalyptic world where megatowers shelter civilization, a task force infiltrates Tower 57. Choose from six characters with distinct skillsets and play the campaign alone or in local and online co-op.
Fight through the tower in a top-down twin-stick shooter, clearing enemy-filled areas and facing bosses. Its designed floors connect through elevators and a central hub with shops and terminals; hidden walls and passages lead to secrets, while destructible surroundings break apart during combat.
Use weapons and gadgets, manage limited ammunition, and spend collected currency on upgrades. Characters can be switched during play, and damaged limbs can be replaced with cybernetic parts. Lives and respawns are limited, while co-op players can coordinate attacks and combine weapons for different effects.
Players who enjoy Tower 57 often point to its detailed pixel art and distinctive dieselpunk atmosphere, alongside the appeal of tackling its shooter combat with a co-op partner. Some also praise the weapon variety, character and equipment upgrades, and soundtrack. Opinions on the combat and level design are mixed, with other reviewers finding the stages repetitive or the challenge frustrating.
