I’m struggling to seek out the phrases for an intro that do Steam’s latest platformer, the erratic and energetic Pizza Tower, justice. It’s a platform sport that instantly a-salts the senses with a bopping soundtrack, shiny visuals, a median Italian man combating an assortment of enemies, and mushrooms – but it surely’s about as removed from the overall-wearing plumber as you will get, and it’s already shot as much as the highest of my must-play listing.
So, what precisely is Pizza Tower? It’s a 2D platform sport that channels the gameplay of the Wario Land sequence and the chaotic visuals of ‘90s period cartoons like Ren and Stimpy or Ed, Edd n Eddy right into a fast-paced sport about climbing the titular Pizza Tower. You play as Peppino Spaghetti, a “fats, balding Italian” on a revenge mission to destroy Pizza Tower and save his personal restaurant by climbing the flooring of the tower and beating its ranges.
I may try to jot down some (extra) actually terrible pizza-based puns to explain Pizza Tower, however one Steam assessment has crushed me to one of the best description; Instead of calling it a Wario, Sonic, or Metroidvania sport, Pizza Tower will now be often called a “Sonicoidario” sport.
Releasing simply this month, Pizza Tower already has an “overwhelmingly optimistic” reception on Steam with over 1,000 critiques and climbing, and the Tour De Pizza-developed sport positively boasts a novel visible model and unimaginable soundtrack, which you’ll be able to see within the beneath trailer.
Before you hop on over to Steam and order in a Domino’s, although, it is best to know that Pizza Tower is definitely getting a worth discount, so you might need to maintain off shopping for the sport. Tour De Pizza says it made a mistake with the regional pricing, and that it’s “going to decrease the value as quickly as we are able to for many areas outdoors of the US, so we might say maintain off from shopping for the sport till that is settled.”
If you’re within the US you might as properly head over to the Pizza Tower Steam web page now, if not I’d counsel popping the sport in your wishlist and holding off only for the second.
While you await that worth discount you possibly can take a look at our listing of the greatest indie video games out there on PC now, or the greatest action-adventure video games as an alternative.
