Combine a healthy dose of Castle Crashers, a cup of the Simpsons arcade game, and a dash of original fantasy lore and you'll get Stoic Games' beat-'em-up multiplayer side scroller, Towerborne. Even though it's a departure from the studio's past work with the Banner Saga series, Towerborne offers a satisfying gameplay loop that's absolutely worth a look as it heads into Early Access on Steam.
Whether Towerborne remains installed is still yet to be determined. Sharp combat mechanics and gorgeous visuals don't completely set a game like Towerborne up for longterm multiplayer success, although Stoic Games has committed itself to adding more content throughout the game's Early Access period and beyond.
