60 of 192 · most liked firsthttps://youtu.be/n9nFXr76W9Q Developers partnered with Batholith Entertainment have been proven to post reviews of their own titles. Avoid the titles by these people at all costs. **UPDATE** As is fairly predictable, the Developer has begun deleting discussion threads showcasing the video in an effort to limit the visibility of the issue.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Now that this game is for $15, (it was previously "freemium" with backpack space and the like costing money) I can really say that it's not worth the money. It doesn't attempt to do anything new with the genre, or even learn from how the genre has advanced in a decade, and seemingly has no concept that other "modern RPGs" exist. The developer has apparently not played any games not made by Blizzard in 20 years, and is gripped by a crippling fear of doing anything different from Blizzard in any…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OK, so I've now played 25 hours of this game, and I'm ready to leave a preliminary review, based on beating the level 5 and level 10 bosses. I have played and completed a lot of dungeon crawlers like the Might and Magic series, Wizardry, including Wizardry 8. My favorite is probably Wizardry 8. I have also played Legend of Grimrock (not finished) and Legend of Grimrock 2 (finished). I also finished Might and Magic X: Legacy. This game is very fun, and you can play it while doing other things.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is nothing like Legend of Grimrock or any of the might and magic serieces. There is no exploration. There is only the most minor variation in everything you face. There are no problems to solve or even levers or buttons. All rooms are 3x3 with nothing to interact with other than an occassional chest or lore book. Items have poor descriptions and abilities are poorly defined. There are stats that are in the game and listed on items that are no where to be found anywhere else.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this game. But the gameplay was dull and monotonous; some operations where painfully designed, and finally, it was bugged to the level that you wouldn't earn money from battles. It was abandoned by the developer. TL;DR: Don't buy it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I normally play RPG Maker games, but do play Rogue like games occassionally too. I enjoyed this game very much and have already spend 55 hours on it and am still extremely interested in the game. Let me share with you why I like this game, and what make it so captivating. Firstly, this game is fun, and can be completed in short sessions. You start off with a team of 4 but should increase it to 6 as soon as possible to give you more firepower. Then, it is a matter of short and fun trips down…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm trading in my old review that talked about specific points of the game for a new one: Developer harasses people that leave negative feedback. This person needs to be removed from Steam and find a new career.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stumbled upon this game while i was trying to find something similar to Wizardry 8. Zavix Tower is a game which lacks a "real" story (though you do find books with abit of the game lore), gameplay revolves around: town/village with several buildings - place where you create/equip/manage the party tower - enter to start the dungeon exploration Similar to Wizardry you get to create a party using several classes (some of which need to be unlocked first) which feels good and gives you some…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do not support devs who use fake accounts and family to put GREAT reviews to mislead people to think its good games and buy it. Just to increase sales and make money, basically GREED. That is very shady way of doing business. Steam should remove devs games who does this. Its dishonest to post reviews praising the game coming from dev accounts and so called family members. This was my first and last game i buy from them. Also trying to silence people regarding this just again shows you how…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dungeon crawler with no puzzles, no plot (at all!) and rather crappy items. Was actually fun for the first couple of hours, but after 10-11, it no longer is.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game really should be on mobile, it's a barebones lootgrind. -the only loot is gear, no potions, scrolls, gems, keys, bombs etc. Just gear. -no races for your chars -just 6 classes, 2 of which have to be unlocked. -wow-like dumb skill system. -no non-combat puzzles or encounters of any sort. -the procedual generation is a joke, the rooms are pointless, you could replace this with a choose you own adventure and nobody would notice the gameplay difference. Binding of issac, a 5 buck flash…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just wanna kill monsters? Don't want a long, boring story to interfere with your murder spree? This is your game! Procedural levels, turn based everything and a carpload of loot, that's my idea of a great dungeon crawler! Also, after you clear each floor, you are given the option to go back to town or continue upwards. If you choose next level, you're stuck there until you find the stairs or your party wipes, whatever happens first. This adds fun as you can choose to push your luck until…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Avoid. Up-front cost disguises the fact that this is just like the billion other crappy greedy Chinese freemium games, it is very blatant while editing your character in the beginning that if you make a mistake allocating skills that you have to pay for premium currency to fix it. Also the "dungeon" is just a matrix of 3x3 rooms that all look exactly the same. Huge piles of cartoonish-looking gold in half the rooms but I can't pick any of it up?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thanks, SidAlpha for the following video. https://youtu.be/n9nFXr76W9Q
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OK, this game started out somewhat decent but there are a ton of problems that sort of ruin it long term that are not mentioned... 1. What town? There isn't really a town. A simple menu system like in Wizardry or Elimage would suffice as there ISN'T really a town. I don't who was smoking what when they put "upgradable and persistent town". 2. All the classes sort of feel like they were half done. Each class basically has one or two skills you use. The rest are mostly useless. If they…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is at the very best plain Okay. The combat is pretty straight forward, its fine. I like it. The Music is Horrible! It is very repetitive, and if you forgot to turn it of before entering the tower you can't turn it off. Alot of sounds seems to just not be there, I understand this is early access and it might yet come, but as of now... It is kind of annoying. The price to hire new people is also immensly high, and seems to be going higher every time I check. This might just be me not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned by the dev to work on other games before finishing content that was said to be coming, with the added note that if the other game does not do well, said content would never arrive.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rather boring, and the developers seem to have a habit of fake positive reviews. Give this one a pass...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I saw this game at Betacon and was immediately thrown back to my old Amiga rpg's (like someone else said, Eye of the Beholder, one of my favorites). It's fun to play, a nice retro experience. Pros: swift graphics, easy to navigate, lots of bag space, good character display (inventory, stats, talent, etc), FUN - even though it's a bit one-dimensional play Cons: too much treasure - really, it drops too much treasure, making the levels too easy. That is somewhat offset by ridiculous boss fights -…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just finished Legend of Grimmrock 2 and was looking for something else. While this doesn't match LOG2's depth and polish, it is still undeniably fun. I like it most for the ability to do short jaunts into the Tower that can take 15 - 30 minutes. Whay I don't like is the crashes that happen when I leave the game idling for an extended period of time. Thankfully, it saves after each battle, so this is more an annoyance. If you're looking for a good dungeon crawler with lots of combat, it's a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ (Yes, that's ZERO stars.) ============ Review Update: I decided to give Zavix Tower a second chance. I wanted to see if they've actually improved the game since my first review. But unfortunately, no. It's still the same, horrible game. The same things / problems I ranted about a long time ago are still there. Honestly, Zavix Tower is one of the worst games I have ever played. And I started playing games with the Amiga, NES and Sega Master System so I have played quite a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game, lots of ways to play it, devs are willing to look into problems/bugs in the game within hours when posting about it, they care about you and you should care about them!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My very first review. I just like to say if other big name companies emulated this developer gaming would be excellent. The devloper has been constantly adding content since leaving Early access. I am pretty sure its a one or two person team so the amount of work and love shows. The downs to this game, a lot of content needs grammar checking and most of it seems to be lifted from World of Warcraft. There is really only one thing to do in this game go to the tower and kill stuff, go to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A litttle TOO simplistic for my tastes. It's the kind of game you play idly while watching Netflix. Nothing too hard to think of, no big choices. Grind, click, rinse, repeat. Not my cup of tea. Refunded.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you know those days when you want to play an uncompromising RPG, totally focused on gameplay and without having to read tons of dialogue? Zavix Tower is perfect game for moments like these. Developed by Batholith Entertainment, Zavix Tower can please you if you’re looking for an infinite and procedural generated dungeon crawler. First of all, it's necessary to make clear that the production of Zavix Tower is simple. That is, the graphics are basic, there are only few songs, the sound…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great and quaint, with room for improvement. Good bargain title if you want an easy to pick up turn based dungeon crawler.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great old school dungeon crawler. Create 4 characters and recruit 2 more. Turn based combat with a sense of preserve the more powerful abilities for when you really need them. Good gear selection often makes you consider which item will help which character the most. Boss battles add some difficulty to break up the grind. Decent monster variety - I was pleasantly surprised when I killed a slime and it split into baby slimes. A mix of default class skills and new abilities that can be purchased…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Old school Wizardry-like fun only much less depth, which you may think would detract from it but I found I kept saying "one more level and Ill turn it off, just one more level" for several hours. Lots of fun loot with various unlockable classes and straight forward combat and skill system which works well and makes for a smooth gameplay experience. Thumbs up from me!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Old school RPG in terms of being turn-based, single player, and giving you control of a full 6 person party. The graphics are also old fashioned but nice. It also has an upgradeble base and you can recruit extra NPCs for your roster. The classes are fun and fairly well balanced, although I am not sure I'm fully optimizing them. The skill trees are deep and interesting. Will be nice when the ranger class arrives. It's already been worth the money spent for me and I've still got a ways…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is not for everyone. It is fun and enjoyable once you figure it out. cons: 1. No Tutorial 2. no highlighting of interactive elements in the dungeon 3. complex character building 4. no hand holding Pros: 1. No Tutorial 2. no highlighting of interactive elements in the dungeon 3. complex character building 4. no hand holding
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to enjoy this game. It's there. It has all of my sega genesis-era elements. But, it's a completely generic snooze-fest with no ups or down. Just vendoring trash loot. Fighting the same 4 mob types with wow-cloned classes. I was hoping that this might be one of those in-development games that progresses. I waited half a year hoping that I wouldn't have to neg this game. That has not been the case. I recommend Eye of the Beholder over this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this style of game, and we need a dungeon crawler hero. This isn't it. It's an underbaked smartphone game on PC. This is not the Wizardry you are looking for, sadly. The wait continues.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great game to add to your collection if your into a casual dungeon run! The game is solid. No crashes, no re-occurring bugs. The developer is on the ball and working on fixing issues identified and expanding the game. Not just new idea's, but also backing up and making balances to classes and expanding each one. The game itself is straight forward. Make a party and move forward a level of the time till you’ve gone as far as you can, or you run out of back pack space :) Rinse and repeat.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They got rid of freemium.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like Zavix Tower, it's EXACTLY what it says on the can. If you buy this game you will get an Infinite Roguelike Tower, with randomly generated enemies, loot, and levels. Allowing endless play, essentially. You level up, get better gear, and define your character as you progress through the game. You will NOT get award winning story, an open world RPG game, another COD spin-off, or another CS: GO spinoff, you won't get a survival game, and you certainly don't get some music rhythm game. You…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not a bad game for 5 bucks. I definatlly got my moneys worth. There isn't any AIPs or DLCs to buy and it is an infinate dungeon crawler. I'd like to see some more monsters and a final boss, but it's good enough for the price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As cliché as it is, I do not make a habit of writing reviews and this ain’t one of them. All I can say is I just installed this less than an hour ago, and I am more than pleased. After trying to choke down Might and Magic X: Legacy, the beauty of simplicity in this game is like a cool breeze in my gamer brain. I love the combat and the graphical representation of the queue, as well as actually have a back and front row, where MMX:L does not. It is pretty, sleek, and satisfying as a game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is well intentioned, but still very beta if not alpha. It lacks the polish of a real game so far, as evidenced by the poor controls, UI which is clunky and not very informative, and the complete lack of explanation for most gameplay mechanics. This seems like an IOS game, made for simple controls, but even on IOS I would expect this would be painful. The gameplay is also problematic as it is extremely slow and unclear what's happening most of the time. This game has potential, but…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice and fun game for spending a bit of downtime on.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed the game for a little escape from my everyday. I loved the old school feel. It is easy to get started and having the ability to take breaks every few mins makes it work for me to play with a toddler running around.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →8/10: A pure dungeon crawler with good replay value and strong support. + Turn-based combat with a party of up to 6 characters with talent & inventory management + Base management as well, through upgrades to the town where you recruit, train, & shop + Replay value through different party compositions, character builds, gear choices + Very responsive developer eager to fix bugs and listen to feedback - Story is pretty light, told mostly through text discovered in dungeons - Game takes place…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice dungeon crawler to kill time, I love to listen to music whilst playing this and just relax. It's a really good game to play a night since it's very chilled out and it's all around really fun and quite easy once you get the hang of it. The dev to this game is also really nice as I have chatted with him quite a bit. 11/10 I recommend :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was stunned that it took me until I ran into the voidwalker to realise all the assets had been stolen from Warcraft. Looking for a challenging roguelike, got a mobile phone game with pretensions. There's better out there.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very casual turn based addictive dungeon crawler , easy on the eye , easy on your system. Dev team updates and communicates frequently. I love it .
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Old school dungeon crawling with lots of new content added weekly. It is quite addictive due to simple gameplay and intuitive controls. I guess this game has the shortest learning curve I ever encountered.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its exactly what the video shows, the game is great. In between playing more serious games or when i just don\'t feel like anything else, this serves as the perfect relaxation game. Its simple, the Dev is extremely helpful and responsive the the community. The game will only get better from here. If you can afford to buy fast food or go to the movies, you should just buy this instead.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edited: 5/16/16 This game has promise as a bit of an updated turn based dungeon crawler, The controls are intuitive and easy to handle. The graphics and audios are really nice, creating an atmospheric dungeon environment. Most importantly, the devs are actively working on this game, and helping players resolve their issues very promptly, many thanks to them.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought the game and died on my first attempt at the tower. The fourth character was melee-only and apparently there are only three allowed in the front row. It seems the skills I have didn't allow attacking from the back row. The skills did not specify this when I chose them. After the three front row characters died, the fourth moved into the front row. He could now attack. I thought "Oh! I have to try to get this character to survive. I'll put the good equipment I've earned so far on him."…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far it basically looks like a beta with promise. There are good ideas here, and it's possible to have some casual fun. But it's seriously lacking in polish. The graphics are serviceable. It's a game that doesn't need a lot of flashy looks for fun. But it's also a rather bland art style. Some sort of more unique and interesting style to the art and the game would help. I do like the option of accepting quests (though they seem very limited currently, like 'kill 5 imps next trip'), and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a really fun little cross between the old Eye of the Beholder style games and the various endless dungeon variants. Very fun, lots of loot, very Wow-ish talents and skill systems. The Dev keeps adding new features and seems to understand what makes a game tick along nicely. Although i've hit Dungeon 50 and killed the last boss ( as far as i know ) i keep coming back every few weeks to see what new classes/loot/changes have been made. Really nice for those that are a bit time poor as you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very amateur'ish game. Graphics are poor, gameplay/UI is cumbersome, skills/spells/items feel like a poor knock-off of WoW. Should be priced in the 2-3$ range.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →old school turn based dungeon crawler. Boss every 5 levels and if you beat them you can start on that level of the dungeon going forward. Good fun, game is exactly what it claims. Dev is very involved with the game and it has a great community.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros * The game is on the fun side if you enjoy these types of dungeon crawlers. Though the fun won't last for more than a week in my opinion. * Working toward unlocking new content and powering up your hereos is satisfying. Cons * Easily the worst part of this game is the UI. Especially in the earlier stages when things are very new to you, figuring out which items might be upgrades for one of your six party members can take awhile to sort out, especially when an item has stats useful to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game that is user friendly and perfect for people who might be interupted in the middle (ex: having a 2 year old that wakes up and needs you in the middle of a floor). It reminded me of games I have loved in the past and yet was still unique enough to want to play. I love that kids/new gamers can play it with some help and explanation at first if they cant read but the tutorials are pretty self explanitory. I recommend this game especially if you like to play games where you build your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a really fun game. kid of akin to old 3D wolfenstein/Doom/Hexen games if you remember those. Highly recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a fun dungeon crawler game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vphn2RNcyYE
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This fart is a pile of ♥♥♥♥. The dev never added the last two classes that were supposed to be added and has moved on to other games. Not sure if the new game rips off Blizzard ounce for ounce here with both classes and monster design, but I'm not going to bother to find out.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Zavix Tower is built around a simple, fun gameplay. Enter room, kill monsters, get treasure, and repeat. In that way, it reminds me of some of the first Dungeons and Dragons sessions I played (and ran). It's not JUST about that of course, that would wear thin awfully quickly. There are a few other mechanics that help round out the experience. When you find the stairs that will let you exit the tower or proceed up to the next level, do you bail or do you take a chance and risk a total party…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm going to leave this here - The game is okay, But it is not an overwhelmingly positive game. Its more of an arena game than a dungeon crawler. . The game goes: Enter dungeon, clear some various rooms some containing monsters some not. Occasional Chest. And about 1 lever a floor. There is not much in the way of exploration, or interesting things to do. Its just a grind game. If you dont mind that (Which I dont) then it might be up your alley. But to call this a throw back to old school…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →UPDATE #3: I played this game for 60+ hours and enjoyed it a lot. I can only hope in the future there is more content to keep me coming back and re-beating with new classes. I found this game to be really worth the $15 I paid, several times over. UPDATE #2: I have apparently put 30 hours into this game so far. It shouldn't be this fun, but it is. The game has so much charm and love put into it. Killin monsters is very satisfying! UPDATE #1: Two days afterwards the crashes all stopped. This…
