Lucky Tower Ultimate – Early Access Trailer

Anselm Pyta, co-designer and lead artist of the Lucky Tower series, said the following:

“Thanks to its randomly generated nature, Lucky Tower Ultimate is a game that even surprises me, its developer, with the different absurd situations it throws my way each time I play.
This also makes it a perfect fit for Early Access, where input from the community helps us to add in even more content so it will continue to surprise forever.”

Anselm Pyta

Stefan Michel, producer on Lucky Tower Ultimate, added (on the record):

“We keep saying the word ‘premium’ so everyone understands that you must buy this one in order to play it. The old games were free, because they were made by children in Flash. We just want fans to stop doing Let’s Plays of the Flash games, because this one is better.

Wait, are you recording?”

Stefan Michel

Note that the development team expects Lucky Tower Ultimate to be in Early Access for less than a year.

Designer Mike Gnade said the following:

“The entire Maximum Apocalypse series started with the original 1-6 player board game getting funded on Kickstarter back in 2017. Ironically enough, the board game was heavily inspired by my lifelong passion for video games; combining elements of roguelikes, adventure, and strategy games all together into a tabletop experience. The list of video game and movie influences is way too extensive to get into, but needless to say, I was thrilled when given the opportunity to partner with a developer to bring the board game to the digital realm.”
