I tried to play Shadow Tower the other night. My first attempt was in an emulator, but my SNES-style game pad didn’t work very well. I couldn’t hit any of the enemies because they were short and I couldn’t look down.
I then decided to try the PS3 version, and discovered that I’d already purchased it at some point. Despite being able to look down with the shoulder button, I still could not seem to hit most of the enemies. I did strike a spider once after several sword swings, and then it killed me.
One thing I like about the game is that if you happen to move left or right at the very beginning, you instantly die.
This one might be a little too inaccessible for me. I’ll probably give it one more try, and then if I still don’t have the patience for it I will take a look at meauxdal’s videos to see what the game is like. (I’ve avoided such videos thus far because I’ve always planned to try the game myself.)
