About This Demo

There is no luck in this tower. No dice rolls, no misses, no critical hits. Every enemy's strength, every reward, every outcome is fully deterministic — which turns the entire climb into one enormous logic puzzle. And you can solve it.

This is the free demo for Towerbound, a 2D pixel-art puzzle-RPG in the classic Tower of the Sorcerer tradition. It covers the first ten floors of the fifty-floor tower — the opening act, ending in a full boss encounter.

Every fight is decided before you take it

Walk into a monster and the outcome is already fixed by your stats and theirs. You can read exactly what a fight will cost before you commit. The challenge isn't surviving the fight — it's choosing which fights, in which order. Kill this guard now, or come back stronger? Open the red door, or hold the key?

What's in the demo

• Floors 1–10 — ten hand-designed floors, no procedural generation, ending in a boss fight
  
• The complete combat system — deterministic and RNG-free, calculable before you commit
  
• The core resource puzzle — HP, attack, defense, gold and red, blue and gold keys are all currencies
  
• Altars, merchants and NPCs — power is for sale, if you can pay the price
  
• Your first staffs — the opening pieces of a toolkit that bends the tower's rules
  
• Full controller support — built with Steam Deck in mind
  
• Warm, torch-lit pixel art in a single hand-crafted palette

In the full game

• All 50 hand-designed floors — every layout a deliberate puzzle
  
• The rest of the toolkit — wings, pickaxes, bombs and more
  
• Further boss encounters and story beats woven through the climb
  
• A bestiary that fills in as you defeat each foe
  
• Achievements and personal-best tracking

For fans of

If you love Tower of the Sorcerer (魔塔), Tactical Nexus, DROD, or any game where the real boss is your own decision-making — the tower is waiting.
