The game has a lot of details, the satirical dystopian plot and writing was unique and consistently got chuckles out of me.

Tower 57 is a simple, colourful top-down shooter with stunning pixel art graphics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 282 sampled reviews raised it
With its strong graphical aesthetic recapturing fond memories of the 16 bit era, alongside charming sound design, it could almost be a lost classic, polished and made presentable for a modern audience.
