“10/10 : Enormous and delightful systems lurk beneath the toonish veneer. The humor doesn't always "land" but is tied up in the mechanics so as to always be at least meaningful to playing in and understanding the world.…”
“In my opinion, Lucky Tower Ultimate is one of the most polished games I’ve ever played. It has an amazing art style and a surprisingly deep story. I recommend it to everyone, even people who usually get bored of games…”

“Absolutely fantastic callback to the original flash game. Quality evident in every frame.”
“I don't know, it's quirky and I like the art style enough, but the actual game is tedious and nothing I've done so far has felt any better or different”

“A roguelike platformer with great depth and zany humour. As a kid, I played a lot of flash games including the original Lucky Tower. The first was a simple game: 3 doors are presented to you. One door leads to the next…”

“It's a very fun and charming rogue lite with lots of content actually. I enjoy the visual style and unique gameplay mechanics that make every run a little different from the last and the game is so packed with details…”
“I usually never write reviews, but this game is just so fun that I had to. You can spend countless hours playing this goofy game. The played 100 hours and I still haven't seen half of what this game has to offer! It is…”
“Incredible fun! A wholly unique roguelike with lots of mysteries to ponder and solve through experimentation. What could you possibly want a monster's eyeball for? What does this potion do? What's this guy's motivation?…”

“Could be a fun game but it gets repetitive very fast as there's only one tower with a few different enemies and a few "different" level designs, the humor (which is the main feature) is good but it gets old as fast as…”
“Right from the beginning the game shows you it's trying very hard to be funny, silly, frustrating and challenging. However in filling the game with humor and as many hidden little "F**k you"s that it can fit in every…”
“Man I hate this game, I die more times per minute that I do in an FPS competition. :)”

“This game's got an almost improvisational tone to it (like the Interdimensional Cable). Feels especially unique. It sometimes seems like a grind (~15% more than I'd expect), but gives more in return each time you push…”

“Lucky Tower Ultimate did not ask for my trust. It simply handed me a door. I opened it expecting chaos, traps, stupidity, laughter. I found all of that! And something better beneath it. At first, it feels like a joke that wants to kill you. Then you realize it is a game that…”
— a player, Steam review · 56 hrs played“Flash is dead, it's a tragedy, but the first two Lucky Tower games live on in my heart. A parody of Ghosts 'n Goblins and the like, those were linear slashy-slashers, silly yet far from stupid. The sequel looks the part, for sure. It's a juicy style, eye candy. While I wasn't as…”
— a player, Steam review · 29 hrs played“On the surface - it's a relatively simple platformer slash rogue-lite with some witty jokes here and there. Dig deeper and you'll discover a lovely crafted hardcore indie gem it is. It abuses your hoarding issues and desire to collect shinies in games by introducing a huge…”
