''Towertale'' is a 2D action game focused on boss battles.

The game follows 4 separated character braving through a tower that has a guardian monster in each floor, with the promise that the first person to get to the top of the tower will get the hability to change its own fate.

Lionel Blueheart is a mysterious knight braving the tower for reasons related to his mother. Faindrel Ashelm is an elfen girl who had her family destroyed. Lord Snicklefritz is a rabbitfolk mage who feels a dark presence in the tower and investigates. "Dark Echo" is a mysterious, upbeat boy that is braving the tower just for the sake of it.

It is available on [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/980480/Towertale/ Steam]].

Has nothing to do with ''VideoGame/TowerFall''.

!Tropes
* PettingZooPeople: The Rabbitfolk species are a group of humanoid rabbits.
* FighterMageThief: The main characters fit the roles, but the Thief role is separated, with Faindrel and Dark Echo representing different elements of the role. Lionel and Snicklefritz represent the Fighter and Mage class very precisely.
* GrimReaper: Appears as the fourth four of the game, The Reaper, who attacks using skulls and scythes.
* TheTower: The titular tower, merely called The Tower, is a mysterious tower with a dark presence within it and the rumor that the person who get to the top can change its own fate.
