1.0 out of 5 stars No Good, April 1, 2009

This review is from: Deadly Towers (Video Game)

This game has its diehard supporters, but it's one of the NES games I put in the realm of unplayable. It takes way too much effort to get into this game, involving extensive map-making, invisible labyrinth entries, threat of being randomly dumped into an area with monsters too strong for you to kill...I've sat down with this one several times, and none of those times was I tempted to expend the effort.

It looks terrible. The enemies are all silly looking clouds, blobs, or spidery things, which are still ridiculously stronger than your terrible main character. Everything has a thick black outline and looks like it was drawn in crayon. The sound is worse. Not much in the way of sound effects, and the music is grating and loops quickly.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's not that bad., November 10, 2007

People say it's one of the worst games of all time, and yes, it is kinda crappy, but it's not that bad.

Bad points:
-You start off too weak
-When he throws a single knife, it looks luike it's coming from his penis
-You can easily get killed because of the fact that you start off too weak

Good points:
-The music's good
-Surprisingly high replay value
-The cover art for the japanese version (called Mashou) is awesome (Probably a million times better than the game itself)

Overall, I give it 2 and a half out of five. Not thad bad, but it does deserve its place in history.

This review is from: Deadly Towers (Video Game)

I bought this game in the late 80's, and still remember it as the worst purchase I ever made for the NES. The graphics are horrible, even for that era. The cover shows this muscle-bound hero hefting a sword, in the actual game you look like a short, fat dwarf that shoots swords out of his stomach. The gameplay itself is boring. The monsters are impossibly hard and the dungeons too vast to navigate, and the game has no built-in mapping assistance. There is actually an article in cracked-dot-com which ranks this game as the worst game of all time for the NES. I agree.
