About this game

Tower 57 is a co-op focused twin-stick shooter set in a dieselpunk world where towering city-states are all that’s left of civilization, and a small crew of specialists gets sent into the title tower to find out what’s really going on inside. It’s built by Pixwerk and published by 11 bit studios, and it wears its old-school arcade roots proudly, right down to the 16-bit pixel art that looks like it wandered off an Amiga.

How it plays

You pick from a roster of six characters, each with their own weapon skills and gadgets, and shoot your way down through floors of Tower 57, moving between a central hub and the mission areas beyond it. The environments are destructible, which matters more than it sounds like on paper: walls come down, cover disappears mid-fight, and the layout of a room can change while you’re still standing in it. Lives are limited and respawns are stingy, so the game leans into that classic arcade tension where one bad push forward can end your run. Weapons and gadgets are upgradable over time, and losing a limb in battle isn’t just a cosmetic setback since you can replace it with a cybernetic one that changes how you play. The whole thing is designed around cooperation, whether that’s flanking enemies with a partner, setting up ambushes, or combining separate weapons for effects neither character could pull off alone, though it’s also playable solo if you’d rather go it alone.

Who it’s for

This is a good fit if you grew up on run-and-gun shooters and co-op couch classics, and you don’t mind a game that expects you to die a lot while you learn its rhythms. The character variety and limb-replacement gimmick give it a personality that’s easy to get attached to, especially if you’re playing with a friend who takes a different character build than you do. If you prefer a slower, more forgiving pace, or you’re mainly after a solo story-driven experience, this probably isn’t going to click. It’s also worth knowing going in that scarce lives and rising difficulty are part of the design, not a flaw, so patience with getting wrecked is part of the deal.

Is it worth it?

For fans of tough, cooperative twin-stick shooters, Tower 57 delivers a specific kind of experience you don’t see as often anymore: handcrafted levels, real stakes when you lose a life, and a visual style that still holds up. It’s the kind of game that rewards repeat sessions with a co-op partner rather than a single blitz through, so its value climbs the more you actually play it with someone else. If you’re on the fence, it’s a solid pickup when it’s discounted, since the genre and difficulty won’t be for everyone, but if twin-stick chaos with a friend sounds appealing, it earns its spot in a sale-priced backlog.
