Tower Song

Tower Song is a role-playing game that combines elements of 1990s JRPGs and CRPGs with turn-based combat and colorful pixel-art worlds. Its roughly 10-hour campaign follows a group of Mana Knights as they investigate two mysterious Towers, fight a naga invasion and try to save Solace's sister and the desert metropolis of Qadam.

The world and story

The party travels through forests, rivers and deserts, including the overgrown forests of Guhar and the desert expanse of Kidonia. The story also visits the eldritch Towers and the desert metropolis of Qadam. At camp, you can get to know the party better. The campaign has one central plot told from four unique perspectives, with more to discover on subsequent playthroughs.

Combat and progression

Every encounter is unique: enemies do not respawn or appear in repeated encounters, and each can be lethal. Towerborne foes and cunning echobeasts reveal their intentions as they carry out deadly strategies, giving you a chance to prepare and choose how to respond. The campaign offers multiple difficulty modes.

As you progress through the main quest, you gain skills, skill modifications and crafting recipes. You can change loadouts between attempts at an encounter and recraft equipment at campfires to suit your playstyle. Further equipment is hidden throughout the Towers.

Heroes and allies

You choose from multiple heroes, each with unique battle mechanics, a distinct perspective on the main quest and the ability to explore areas others cannot reach. The party can also recruit sniper Solace, magical swordsman Kiran and elemental master Akeno. The game features the following additional characters:

• Tali: a dark magic user who draws Tarot cards from her Dark Deck to cast spells and curse enemies. Her cat familiar, Jiji, fights as a party member, attacking with his claws and protecting the party with a nekomata's barrier.
• Porphry: a battle-hardened warrior who wields a large axe. Her abilities trigger Battle Trance, giving her access to powerful moves before driving her into an uncontrollable berserker rage.
• Ezoan: an engineer and spellcaster who summons fire and soothing auras to support the team, then enters his exosuit to attack with overwhelming force.
• Neat: a fast tempo-fighter who strings together combos to unlock an evolving skillset during combat, then uses powerful finishing moves.
