Shadow Tower is a first-person dungeon crawler where you descend through underground levels fighting monsters and bosses. You play as a mercenary investigating a destroyed town, tracking evil spirits into a tower that leads deep below ground. The game splits its descent into six themed sections—Earth, Fire, Illusion, Death among them—each with distinct enemy types. Combat is melee-focused with stamina management. Expect slow, methodical exploration through dark corridors where visibility is limited and threats emerge from shadows. Healing items are scarce. The structure resembles From Software's King's Field games: deliberate movement, environmental storytelling through placed objects and architecture, minimal UI. No quest markers or tutorials. You'll map routes mentally while managing durability on weapons and armor. Suits players who want oppressive atmosphere and don't mind trial-and-error navigation.
