You may have heard of Tricky Towers, especially if you keep a little eye on the PC or Playstation scene. Well good news – you need not look elsewhere any more as WeirdBeard Games have confirmed the trickiest of towers will be coming to Xbox One.
Due for release later in 2017, Tricky Towers on Xbox One will come with a whole new single player game mode – exclusive to Xbox One initially, and then releasing on PC and PS4 at a later date.
If you don’t know much about the game, then Tricky Towers sees you placed into the robe of a wizard, as you need to utilise the spells found in your spell book, and your own engineering skills, to build the tallest, most stable tower possible. To get in the way though, jealous rival wizards will be looking to push your tower over, using dark spells to ensure their dominance. You’ll need to block these – whilst returning the favour with your own special magical powers.
Local multiplayer options will be in place, as will a full online battle of magical mayhem as you try to place as high on the leaderboards as possible.
Features of Tricky Towers include:
- Conjure up your wizard’s tower: cleverly stack your summoned blocks and use over 17 different spells to win the race to see who can build the highest tower
- Tumble down your rivals: use dark spells to hamper or even push over your competitors towers, but beware… they can use these spells on you as well!
- Match your wizardry online: challenge up to 4 players locally or online in one of the 3 game modes available; survival, race and puzzle.
- Take up tricky wizard trials: these challenges require a sharp mind and shrewd magical engineering!
- Become the archwizard: climb up the leaderboard and see how you rank among your peers
- Win the Wizardry cup: Participate in local and online tournaments and become the next Harry Potter!
We will of course let you know as soon as a confirmed release date is in place, but for now, you may as well take in the latest trailer for Tricky Towers as it showcases the very latest DLC which is coming to PS4 and PC very soon – and will also be on Xbox One at launch.
I saw this on Dara O’Briain’s Go 8 Bit a couple of weeks ago and it looked quite fun. Very Tetris with a twist.
