Our take on Tower Escape
The reverse tower-defense premise receives most of the attention, while the actual play centers on route selection, minion management, and run-based upgrades. The listing presents the maze, relic, and combination systems, but gives less emphasis to how much of each session is spent planning movement.
What is Tower Escape?
Tower Escape reverses the tower-defense format by putting the player in control of the attacking side.
As a necromancer, the player assembles minions and guides them through treasure-filled tower mazes toward an exit. Planning mode includes a threat heatmap for selecting a route around enemy defenses. Minions can be upgraded, combined into stronger forms, and used according to their different abilities. Gems and relics alter runs, while procedurally generated mazes provide changing layouts and challenges. Progress can reveal additional minions, relics, and secrets. The game also includes Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud Saves.
