La Tour Des Ombres

Alien Création launched in Early Access today, La Tour des Ombres (Tower of Shadows), a turn-based tactical RPG. Developed entirely by a solo creator using tutorials and AI support, the game is a personal passion project and aims to deliver a challenging, layered strategy experience inside a mysterious tower packed with danger.

Players take command of a squad and climb floor by floor, building their forces, collecting rare equipment, and facing increasingly difficult enemies, including boss fights.

The Early Access version already includes:

  • 20 playable levels (including two bosses)
  • 14 unique troops to recruit
  • Around 150 collectible equipment pieces
  • Fully functional battle mechanics with over 40 traits
  • Merchant and inventory systems
  • An in-game wiki and customizable options menu
La Tour Des Ombres

The developer plans to exit Early Access by early 2026, with new troops, more floors, additional bosses, and equipment systems on the roadmap. La Tour Des Ombres is available on PC via Steam, below more details, and trailer.

More Details

Step into a medieval fantasy world where strategy and determination will define your fate. In this turn-based strategy game, you take on the role of a commander, leading your team through perilous floors in a relentless climb to the top. There, the ultimate challenge awaits—the formidable Master of Shadows.

Gameplay & Mechanics

  • Strategic Progression: Each floor presents new dangers, requiring careful planning and tactical decisions.
  • Companion Recruitment: Build your squad by recruiting warriors, mages, and archers, each bringing unique strengths to battle.
  • Magic & Rare Equipment: Uncover powerful artifacts and master spells capable of turning the tide in combat.
  • Enemies & Bosses: Face mythical creatures and cunning foes as you ascend, each step intensifying the challenge.

Atmosphere & World

The tower is shrouded in mystery, its corridors echoing with whispers of fallen warriors. As you climb, the darkness thickens, and the stories of those who failed before you become haunting reminders of the danger ahead. Every battle is more than a fight—it’s a test of courage and strategy.

Goal

Your mission is clear: gather a formidable team, refine your tactics, and survive the tower’s challenges. Only those who master strategy and bravery will reach the peak and challenge the Master of Shadows. Will you rise to the occasion?
