What makes a game like BioShock? A weird world gone bad? First-person, superpowered shooting? Creepy, slightly off-the-wall enemies? Other bits and bobs that actually came from System Shock first? Either way, I'm more than confident in calling Twisted Tower very, very BioShock-y after playing its new demo released just ahead of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Next Fest.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Next Fest is flooding the storefro🎶nt with countless more demos for us to try out, and Twisted Tower in particular grabbed my attention because it was recommended by BioShock and BioShock Infinite's director Ken Levine on .

says it's set in "an abandoned 1950’s resort reminiscent of BioShock and Disney World." What a pitch, eh?

Levels are designed around different theme park mainstays like a fairy tale castle or a wat꧋er park - this time packed with pig-mask enemies whose heads will pop with blood and confetti after a well-placed shot. The game also promises multiple unique paths you can take in each playthrough, while you experiment withꦛ whacky guns like a sniper slingshot, a farting shotgun, or a whack-a-mole mallet, which is as good a replacement for Half-Life's crowbar as any.

Twisted Tower's free demo only introduces you to the game's first few floors, three beginner weapons, and four goosebump-inducing enemies, but it made enough of an imp🐻ression to court over 500 user reviews, 92% of which are positive, before Steam Next Fest has even properly begun.

I loved the hour I spent with Twisted Tower, too. It obviously recalls BioShock in its tone and gunplay and enemy design, but that crazy carnival setting and a bigger emphasis on traversal (put a grapple in every game, why don't you?) also work massively to set it apart. I just hope the zig-zagging corridors and interlocking paths that imsims ar༒e known for show up mor💃e prominently when the full game releases.
