The WhatsNext verdict

For Fans of first-person grid-based dungeon crawlers who want tactile real-time combat and tense survival-horror atmosphere.: Tower of Mask revitalizes old-school tile crawling with fluid free-look controls, punchy real-time combat, and an eerie, claustrophobic atmosphere where every enemy encounter demands deliberate footwork. Tradeoff: The adventure focuses strictly on a solitary protagonist with streamlined progression, forgoing traditional deep party management, complex magic systems, and extensive dialogue.

What it does best

  • Real-time dungeon combat with unusual precision and life

  • Grid movement that somehow feels fluid and modern

  • Dungeon puzzles that reward noticing the smallest details

  • A rare fusion of classic blobber structure and survival-horror tension

What might put you off

  • Sparse RPG systems and a solitary adventure

  • Limited writing and rough translation
