Towerborne is a new Looter Brawler game causing ripples in the Xbox gaming world, featuring side-scrolling combat and action RPG progression with endless customization.
The game, available on Game Pass as a work in progress, includes a shop for cosmetics and microtransactions.
The story revolves around the city of Numbers, now a tower called Belfry, where players, known as Aces, protect the remnants of civilization.
Graphics in Towerborne are appealing with hand-drawn or painted style, featuring well-animated characters and varied enemies.
The game is divided into combat screens, the tower hub for interactions and gear, and the world map with mission-based hexagons.
Players can change classes by equipping different gear, such as Sentinel, Rockbreaker, Pyroclast, or Shadowstriker to suit their playstyle.
Looting gear after missions is crucial to strengthening your character in typical RPG fashion.
Towerborne offers multiplayer for up to four players to tackle difficult missions together, either online or in couch co-op.
The game has a promising start on Game Pass with a decent player base, cross-play functionality, and plans for a full game release in the future.
Players interested in the game can download it on Xbox Series X|S from the Xbox Store, with Founder's Packs available for purchase.
