The game was originally released in Japan by FromSoftware on June 25, 1998 and in North America by Agetec on November 23, 1999. Shadow Tower shares many similarities with the King's Field series of video games.

The Story Behind Shadow Tower

Here is where Shadow Tower came from and how it reached the Sony PlayStation.

The game was localized and published by Agetec, who had previously released multiple FromSoftware titles. It used a similar engine base to the King's Field series, though it was redesigned and polished. Swearing to rescue the old woman who raised him, as well as the rest of Zeptar, Ruus descends into the underworld.

Returning home to Zeptar, he finds that the entire city, as well as the central tower, have been sucked into the underworld. The player takes the role of a mercenary named Ruus Hardy.

How Shadow Tower Plays

Shadow Tower is a retro game for 1 player, played here with your keyboard or any USB or Bluetooth gamepad.

It features a first person style of gameplay where the player engages in combat with enemies, searches for hidden items and traps, and interacts with NPCs. The game also features no music and no automap. Unlike most RPGs, it does not feature a system of experience points which the player character uses to grow more powerful.

The game also includes an item which allows the player to increase any stat by a few points manually, allowing for some character customization. Shadow Tower is an action-oriented dungeon crawl very similar to King's Field.
