Neocrisis: 5 new screens for the latest Wii title. Don't see the games character? We suggest that you look very closely at the shadows.
Shadow Tower from the King's Field, Dark Souls and Bloodborne Developer From Software was released as a Playstation classic in March for Playstation 3, Portable and Vita.
WAJG writes: "Shadow Tower is still a solid experience, but nobody should expect a game that’s similar to the recent Souls or Bloodborne games."
Before From Software became famous for Demons’ Souls, they were creating first person action role playing games for the PsOne. Shadow Tower is one of the precursors to the popular Souls series. While the presentation may feel dated, From Software focused on the atmosphere of the skeleton filled dungeon.
Agetec saw promise in From Software and localized many of their games for the West. It looks like their English version of Shadow Tower will be re-released in the West as a PsOne Classic since the game was re-rated by the ESRB with Sony Computer Entertainment as the publisher.
"Bloodborne developer From Software made a first-person RPG back in the days of the PS1 named Shadow Tower, though chances are you probably don't remember it from all those years ago.
Well now it looks like you may get the opportunity go back in time and see some of the studios' earliest work as Shadow Tower has been rated by the ESRB." DS
Interested.
Checked the cover art and Im pretty sure I have never even seen it randomly on used games' store shelves.
From Software is sure on a roll these days. A Shadow Tower rerelease? Sign me up.
I still prefer King's Field(US, "2 JP"), but Shadow Tower is cool too...
The only thing i disliked on Shadow Tower is the low durability for all weapons, along with the absence of a blacksmith to repair them...
