Pretty decent game, I only have a couple of complains and bugs to report:

• At the start of the game, if you select "Camp", the character selection pops up, but you can still click "Tower" since that menu doesn't disappear. If you do so, the character selection still shows up, until you RMB, then the tower menu is actually shown.
• Setting UI to low rez will cause conversations to be offscreen.
• Players and enemies will stop moving when walking against walls if the direction they're trying to move in is too perpendicular to the walls,  despite the directional input probably allowing "sliding" against them. In short, it's easy to get stuck in geometry by walking against it.
• I wish I got introduced to more class/weapons variety early on. I got a bit tired of being only able to melee for three or more levels. Maybe start the player with daggers or something similar, but have a small limited ammount of them?
• Levels seem a bit too long for what they have to offer. They become monotonous really fast, consider having bigger and more significant room shapes, and perhaps floor height differences.
• First boss is a bit boring; I appreciate the minions coming in but I feel there needs to be more ways to damage the boss than just perpetual 1 damage or baiting him into the flames.
• It'd be neat to see lights in the level actually illuminate their surroundings and then perhaps have completely dark levels at some points where you might need to use some sort of torch mechanic.
• Offhand attack cooldown seems really long, though maybe there's offhand-only weapons later on that would justify that cost...
• I'd like to see what my pp/s regen is somewhere.
• Electric hitscan enemies are pretty boring mechanics-wise. I'd rather they focused on some spot around the player and then discharged there + the ray also hurts if you cross it for the half a second it's on screen. Right now they just hit you as long as you're in range and line of sight and honestly they became really annoying.
• Leveling up felt pretty slow, though maybe it's partly due to the first levels having too few enemies (and yet too many barrels).
• Would be cool if the boss had his own music track.
• Shop controls are weird. Why is RMB used to buy when everything else in the game works with drag and drop?
• Would be nice if fire mages tried to run away a little while not attacking you if you start chasing them, they sort of just idle there.

Looking forward to future updates!

I'd like to see indication as to where I have already been, that made me a little confused. Maybe keep the lights on, maybe leave a trail. Idk. Will definitely play again when there is full release. amazing soul aesthetics.

Really well made 2.5D roguelite.

Gameplay already feels smooth and engaging though for now levels seems
a bit plain as you do nothing but killing enemies and avoiding traps.

I love that it has a skill tree and inventory system but there is little variety for now.

What it needs are more ways to develop character and
more interactions during the game that allows player to make some decisions.

Also I must to make a note here, you made a good progress.
I once played Archtower v0.2.5 when I randomly found it on Itch because it's took my attention
(and I'm very picky when it's about games I should play and I rarely find a real interesting games here)
Also probably because I had a save file of older version, when I pressed Camp in the main menu I got an error (something related to inventory). Had to go to Floor and kill my character.

What I see now is actually makes me happy, you definitely put an effort into your game!

Good luck for your game! You have good odds to make some good roguelite, just add more possibilities and content. I hope for randomized levels in the future updates as well.

As soon as I started this game I was reminded of Pixel Dungeon. It really does feel like a 3D version of that. I like that you have the option of 1st person or 3rd person view, I'm not sure which one I prefer.

Interesting choice letting you resume from the floor you died on, but kind of pointless because spawning as a level 1 character on floor 2-2 with no gear or skills is never going to end well. I threw myself at that a few times just to see if it was doable, but it was not.

I couldn't tell if the floors were procedural or not, but they did seem kind of linear. It might be more interesting if the paths branch a bit more, eg. the locked door is near the beginning or the left fork, but the key is on the opposite part of the floor. I guess backtracking wouldn't really work right now though, because all the enemies stay dead- you would need to have them spawn randomly. More enemy variety wouldn't hurt either! Even just having rats to go with the bats on the early levels for example.

I think the skill and inventory system is rock solid, I just wish I had gotten more use out of it (I only ever found one other weapon, and it was worse than the one I started with.) I noticed gold coins but no item shop, at least I didn't make it long enough to reach one. 

This is the kind of game I would play on my phone while commuting, if you were considering making it a mobile game I think it could be a great fit.

I didn't encounter any bugs and the engine seems polished enough for what it needs to do. Good job!

Minecraft fans would probably love this. I never liked Minecraft though, so i didn't play particularly long. However I thought the sound design was pretty dang good. Maybe a little too loud on default, had to turn it down a bit. Just seemed like a very cool, polished experience from the short amount of time I tried, well done.

Very well done, it looks like you know what you are doing.

Annoyances:

• The idle animation isn't great, the characters move too much. It's like they're laughing at you.
• I think tab would be a better default key for the inventory.
• I would like to be able to attack the wizard that greets you at the tower.
• It would be nice to have independent sliders for music and sound effects so I can listen to my own music if I wish to.

Very enjoyable and polished expierence so far. Combat is fluid and fun. Difficulty is nice.

What I didn't really get is how the character selection and leveling up works. Do the characters share experience?

Hmm this one is tough to describe.

-Can't say I'm a fan of the visuals. I found them really hard to parse.

-Sound design is fairly on point. It was nice being alerted when something saw me, as half the time I didn't see it.

-The MC is super tiny, like he's a 4 year old.

That said, while it wasn't for me, nice progress! Keep up the good work!

Some thoughts:

• Pretty enjoyable combat. Skills are fun to use and I appreciate the variety in enemies and encounters right away.
• I dig the visuals, very clean and minimalist but still manages to produce some nice atmosphere.
• Stats, inventory and resource management don't seem overly complex, which I appreciate.
• Only bit of criticism I have is with the writing, feel like it could be worded better.

I'm usually not one for roguelikes, but I'll keep my eye on this. Good stuff.
