Unofficial RPS award: Zeno Clash devs ACE Team get the ‘least predictable developer’ gong. They’ve gone surrealistic boxing, historical art-boulders, transforming ARPGs and, soon, apocalyptic wax cylinders, but next up is perhaps their most overt mainstream play yet, The Deadly Tower of Monsters [official site]. But even though it’s got some familiar shooty-jumpy mechanics, it’s still a cavalcade of madly inventive visual ideas. It’s out next month, and the latest footage concentrates on its gloriously B-movie, deliberately low-rent monsters. Basically, if that old Universal Studios set tour ride was expanded into a hacky-slashy game and had a rich sense of self-awareness added, this is that. You even get stop-motion dinosaurs. Delightful! And a hero called, uh, ‘Dick Starspeed’, which is delightful in an entirely different way.
