Lucky Tower Ultimate News

Hey Adventurers, the first Lucky Tower Ultimate Early Access update, “The Cave” is out now!



Here’s what's included in this update:

• The Cave
  
• More than 666 new voice lines
  
• 5+ new achievements
  
• Ultra Widescreen support
  
• New enemy: troll
  
• New village quest
  

What is The Cave?
The Cave offers an alternative way to escape the tower once you reach the exit door, allowing you to refuse Evelius’s offer and avoid the boss fight. This longer route out of the tower and into the Village will be a dark and atmospheric maze, visually reminiscent of Studio Seufz’s game The Longing. Companions can go insane in these tunnels, so be careful to keep morale high!
