Everdark Tower

About

Everdark Tower is a single-player RPG where you navigate a frozen world by solving clockwork puzzles inside a mysterious tower. Progress depends on spotting enemy weaknesses and manipulating environmental gimmicks to clear paths. Combat uses a simplified active-time system that blends turn-based strategy with real-time decisions. Each dungeon layer mixes exploration and brain-teasing challenges that require timing and resource management. The story follows a vague quest to restore time after it halts globally, guided by a mysterious girl's dream visions. The game stands out for its tight integration of puzzles and combat, forcing you to use both skills to advance. Developer Hit-Point and publisher Kemco keep the presentation lean but functional, with chiptune music and minimalist art that suits the portable format. While the narrative remains light, the 8-hour runtime offers a concise experience for Nintendo Switch's on-the-go gameplay. Released in 2019, it maintains a small but dedicated fanbase among puzzle-RPG enthusiasts.
