    Default Tower Levels

    Right, this could be my final thing for tonight.
    Who here likes tower levels in any game?
    and what ones are your fav's.
    me? i thought Stone tower was cool in MM.
    but the most meaningful one for me is... Temporal Tower in PMD 2 ( Explorers series) that game will win any award from me. no game has made me feel so much so yes! it is there!

    What about times when the entire game is a tower and it's your RPG adventure to explore to the very top?

    Persona 3: Tartarus.

    Less awesome than it sounds.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Ys: Origin and Etrian Odyssey 2 are both great games in which the entire plot is essentially "climb this enormous tower."

    Darm Tower from Ys Origin was what immediately popped into my head. Ys I, the second half was basically climbing the same tower.

    But Neptral Tower from Action Unleased is probably my favorite in recent memory. It's a big 50 floor tower that you have to climb two at a time and when you get all 10 characters up there (SPOILER)they push Noire off and then jump off for fun.

    Because, caverns cannot go into space. and castle's cant go into space. ( well they could, but it would be weird) however, towers cannot go very long horizontally

    If we're keeping to strict definitions of tower, then I'd have to give a few honorable mentions.

    Durlag's Tower from Baldur's Gate : Tales of the Sword Coast. One of my favourite dungeons in the series, which is saying something. It's also by far the biggest in the first game, with a wide variety of environments due to ~magic~.

    Clock Tower from every Castlevania game ever. Medusa Heads. Still fun.

    ADOM gives us the Tower of Elemental Fire. Fighting some high-tier demons in lava land is pretty cool, and "structured" levels in ADOM were rare.

    Dark Souls 2 gives us the Brume Tower in the Old Iron King DLC, one of my favourite areas in the game due to its interesting visuals, tricks, and the best bosses in the game.
