Indie developer Headbang Club has revealed their newest project, DeathTower, a tactical roguelite RPG coming soon to Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5. For eager players, a PC demo is already available for download on Steam.
DeathTower takes place in a 2.5D isometric world, where players step into the shoes of Ikarus, a character caught in the dangerous mysteries of a massive tower called Megaryon. This ancient structure, built thousands of years ago, holds many secrets. Ikarus, joined by a mysterious companion named Phi — a small µbot created by the tower’s automated systems — must navigate through the tower, facing biological parasites, skilled soldiers, and decaying machines as they seek to uncover the truth.
The game blends elements from roguelikes, immersive sims, and classic JRPGs. Players will have the freedom to choose between combat-focused gameplay or a more stealthy approach as they climb the tower’s floors. Using a mix of powerful weapons, grenades, and clever use of the environment, they can either take down enemies or sneak past them unnoticed. The tower is divided into four unique biomes, each with various floors that bring different challenges.
A key feature of DeathTower is its skill system. Players can develop their character by unlocking ten different classes, each offering 75 skills. Whether focusing on one class or mixing skills from several, there are endless possibilities for tailoring gameplay to individual playstyles. While death in the game means starting over, the skills earned in previous runs are retained, allowing players to grow stronger with each attempt.
DeathTower is also preparing for a Kickstarter campaign, allowing fans to support its development.
