Tower Walker is a fresh new type of addictive semi-idle auto-grinder rich with features, inspired by classic MMORPGS and RTS games with indirect control over your hero. The mysterious tower awaits!
Players consistently praise the engaging idle/semi-idle gameplay loop, which strikes a balance between active and passive play. One reviewer noted how they can "let [their] guy loose in a dungeon and [go] to bed," only to wake up and find their character has progressed significantly. This combination of idle progression and active involvement keeps players coming back.
Reviewers highlight the sense of character progression as a major draw. Players can create and manage their own hero, choosing from a variety of classes that evolve and become more powerful over time. One player described how their character "started off as a lowly warrior and hacked [their] way up to berserker and then slashed [their] way up to Tyrant," equipping powerful gear along the way. The ability to customize and grow one's character is highly rewarding.
Many players embrace the "grind" aspect, finding the gear progression and loot system to be genuinely fun and satisfying. As one reviewer noted, the gear progression "felt very fair and can be 100%ed without the DLC." The game provides a sense of constant advancement, with players steadily improving their equipment, unlocking new abilities, and conquering greater challenges.
Reviewers highlight the game's flexibility and replayability, pointing to the ability to create and level up multiple characters of different classes. This allows players to experience varied playstyles and approaches to the game's challenges. As one player expressed, they typically get "burnt with a game" by this point, but not in this case.
A key aspect that players appreciate is the game's offline progression and respect for player time. One reviewer stated they "really love games that respect [their] time," highlighting the lack of predatory monetization. The ability to let the game run in the background while away from the computer is seen as a major positive.
