Oldschool style first person shooter (FPS) with elements of a roguelike game. The player takes on the bravery of the title tower, wreaking havoc in the ranks of enemies and introducing various improvements to his weapons arsenal. The title was produced by independent studio Terrible Posture Games.
Tower of Guns is a fast paced randomized FPS for the twitch gamer, a short burst “Lunch Break FPS” not unlike Binding of Isaac mixed with Doom 2. If you’re gonna win, you’re gonna do it within an hour. That’s a big if though… it won’t be easy. With random enemies, random power ups, random bosses, tons of unlockable items and weapons… and even random-level compositing–You never know what to expect! So grab a rocket-launcher, slap a shotgun-modifier on it, pick up a hundred stackable ‘double jumps’ (or centuple jumps at that point, I suppose) and get to conquering the Tower of Guns!

While Tower of Guns doesn't quite have the substance to be the Doom for this generation, it's still an effective throwback to a simpler time for shooters, and a game that fanatics of the genre shouldn't miss. Plus, it's challenging as heck, and some of the weapons featured in the game are a blast to use. Gotta love that shotgun glove…
Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Jeremy Peeples
Tower of Guns is a brilliantly-crafted game that is seemingly forged from the tears of the players who fall to its traps. Gunfire will come your way from every direction, while platforming perils send you to do your death thanks to massive fall damage totals.
GameSpot: 8 / 10 by Tyler Hicks
The fantastic Tower of Guns combines the elegant dodging dance of bullet hell gameplay with a first-person shooter roguelike
