Towerborne was first revealed at last summer’s Xbox Games Showcase, but little has been shared of the game since so you’d be forgiven for not being up to speed.
However, the game launches in early access on PC today, with a game preview and full release expected on Xbox (and Game Pass) next year. Indeed, early access is a major strategy as part of the game’s launch, following in the footsteps of Baldur’s Gate 3, Hades, and more. It’s Diablo 4, though, that Towerborne is most readily aping.
To take a step back, Towerborne is part ARPG and part beat ’em up from Stoic Studios, the team behind the gritty yet beautifully animated Banner Saga tactics games. It’s a change of pace, then, though it’s similarly colourful and cartoonish. Away from the poignant storytelling, this is something charming that satisfies on a simpler level.
