One part belt-scroller beat em up, one part loot-based action RPG. Its not a common pairing, but Towerbornes Early Access showing makes the combination work. Developer Stoic of The Banner Saga fame follows up its critically acclaimed SRPG trilogy with an entirely new genre, though its a risk tempered by its F2P trappings and the publishing might of Xbox Game Studios behind it. Considering what came before, Towerbornes stunning visual presentation is hardly a surprise, but it joins an addictive grind and solid fundamentals that could lure players who normally wouldnt turn to a freemium option for their beat em up fix.
