The Baleful Tower (tuxdb.com)

The Baleful Tower is an isometric roguelike that combines twin stick shooting with hack and slash gameplay for an action-packed dungeon crawler. Play as one of many different character classes and ascend the mysterious tower, collecting upgrades and overcoming challenges.

Throughout the land, all was at peace, till the mysterious tower emerged from another world. From the tower spawned forth terrifying monsters which terrorize the countryside. Once safe roads are now hazardous journeys. To vanquish these monsters, and glean something of the tower's origins and, brave adventurers venture deep within, carrying hopes of fighting their way to the top.

Play as one of the, currently, six distinct character classes; blending their unique abilities with a mixture of ranged and melee attacks to fight monsters from a distance or in close quarters. While each class is capable of flexible strategy, you can enhance your favorite playstyle truly by making the most of the class’ essence, a powerful advantage for dealing with foes.

Minor Fixes and Upcoming Major Update

Thank you all for buying and playing The Baleful Tower!

Over the past couple months, I've been working on a major update, which will be out soon. I have already sent out updates with minor fixes based on your feedback, but this upcoming update will have a lot of new stuff for you all.

First of all is the addition of consumable items and a shop that appears at random floors, three times for each Biome. The shop has three random items each time. The different items are

Big Shot -- Temporarily increases the size of your melee weapon
Big Swing -- Temporarily increases the size of all your projectiles
Health Potion -- Restores Health
Mana Potion -- Restores Mana
Stamina Potion -- Restores all ability cooldowns
3 Random Level Ups -- Using this spawns 3 Random Level Ups to increase player stats/skills
Random Essence -- Using this spawns a Random Essence, like those the Zombie versions of previous players drop when defeated
3 Bombs -- 3 Bombs to use against enemies
Life Seed -- One time revive that is used immediately upon death
Magnetic Field -- Nearby items move towards player temporarily
Reflective Coating -- Temporarily bounce back enemy projectiles

Also coming in this new update is the Paladin class, a lumbering, defensive power house that can blind enemies, use bombs that cause a chain reaction of explosions as well as powerful melee attacks.

In addition this all this is another Biome: The Dark Biome, which has spiderwebs that bind the player in place. There is also going to be 6 new enemies and a new boss fight at the end of the new Biome.

I look forward to sharing it with you all. I plan of having this update out by the end of next week, if all goes well. Thank you all for playing it, and I hope you all enjoy what's to come.
