Because without someone sat next to you, the whole fun factor is fast removed. Once you’ve completed a race in solo mode, you’ll very rarely wish to bother trying to complete another, and another. The premise seems fine, but the execution leaves the rookie, apprentice, pro, expert and master challenges to come across as either hugely frustrating or utterly boring. Massively.Īn included solo mode fails to see any enthusiasm garnered with numerous challenges and an endless mode failing to really deliver. As you can imagine, much shouting and laughter ensues at this point.īut after the appeal of this sofa based multiplayer fun ends, Tricky Towers begins to struggle. There really is nothing better than firing across a balloon which happily floats away with your opponents’ last crucial piece to stop them taking a victory. It gets even better once you start learning how to harness both light and dark magic, with the former helping your progress and the latter inflicting pain on any opponent. Whether you’re racing to place blocks in order to create the tallest tower possible before your three mates, struggling to squeeze in as many pieces below a laser beam or just attempting to stop them falling into the dark abyss beneath your land, the challenge, the shouting, the bragging rights and the digs in the ribs makes it a fun time had by all. Now, without beating around the bush, the latter of those is by far the best experience, with Tricky Towers absolutely excelling in local form. To enable this learning process, we find that Tricky Towers comes with solo, online and local options.

It takes a different kind of tactic to succeed in Tricky Towers, but thankfully you’ll find a little fun in learning the best courses of action. Except for the fact that should you try and play the game with all your best Tetris skills in hand, you’re pretty much destined for failure. With the usual Tetris styled shapes that we know and love all present, anyone who is familiar with block dropping should pretty much know what to expect with Tricky Towers. Armed with a small patch of land, it is up to you to cleverly navigate numerous dropping tetrominoes in order to build the tallest, sturdiest, most well established tower you possibly can.
