Tricky Towers Reviews
A blend of physics-based tetris and magic in a sweet little package makes this a must have for gamers of all ages and sizes.
Between the fluid puzzle gameplay with the addition of dark and light magic and the bright, playful graphics, Tricky Towers is a must have!
Not just an exceptional title that breathes fresh life into the traditional Tetris formula, Tricky Towers also gives a great account of itself for those folks looking to test their brains rather than their trigger fingers in both local and online multiplayer gatherings.
Tricky Towers offers up a cool twist on a puzzle classic, and the focus on multiplayer battling makes this an ideal game for showing off the Switch's unique capability for multiplayer gaming on the go. Everybody knows how to play Tetris, and Tricky Towers does just enough to build on that core concept to make the game interesting and weird enough to be quite memorable. Although the single player offerings are a bit on the slim side, we enjoyed our time with Tricky Towers and would highly recommend it for anybody looking for a good couch multiplayer or puzzle game.
Overall Tricky Towers is an excellent idea, generally well executed, with a few areas that could use improvement. Ultimately though, it's fun to play alone, with friends, or with strangers, and puzzle game fans will no doubt find many hours of enjoyment.
Whether it’s with three friends on the couch or with strangers online, Tricky Towers is, in every way, better as a party game
A fun take on the often-copied Tetris, Tricky Towers hits a lot of notes right. Players will be trying for "just one more round" and the magic spells keep the playing field level and interesting. While not a deep game, there is a lot to enjoy about Tricky Towers.
Offering up a mix of iconic tetronimoes with a tower-building mechanic and some real concerns with gravity and your creation topping over this title can make for a lot of fun with friends...
Tricky Towers is one of the best competitive puzzlers that I've played in a while.
Tricky Towers is a party game first and foremost, best played with friends. Grab some extra controllers and have hours of fun trying to knock the bricks out of your mates. The ease in which your friends will be able to grasp the mechanics is Tricky Tower's greatest asset, and it is worth the asking price alone.
An arcade title with wicked puzzles, the Tetris's unruly grandson who proposes a fun return to the subgenre. Unfortunately, its lack of personality in the visual and sonorous aspects blurs the experience a little but the game has a great level of imagination.

It makes for a decent puzzle title with an interesting concept that is shackled by an issue that ruins the experience by making easy moves difficult and difficult moves impossible.
Tricky Towers is an incredibly creative and unique take on the puzzle genre. I just wish there was more to unlock and explore as it does have incredible potential. Nevertheless, I do recommend this brick-stacker to anyone looking for a fun local and online multiplayer experience.
Tricky Towers is a pleasant video game intended for casual gamers. If that's you, then we can only recommend the game.

An innovative little puzzler that stacks up well, and will keep you entertained for a weekend.
A good Tetris evolution that relays more on its multiplayer component than on the single player part, but can become the king of your parties.

The single-player aspect of Tricky Towers is challenging, but can get rather frustrating due to its random elements. However, as a multiplayer game, Tricky Towers works really well. Its tower-building gameplay is incredibly easy to pick up and play, and it delivers fierce and fun competition that offers plenty of ways for players to mess with one another. Definitely recommended as a party game, or if you have friends and family to play with.
If you’re approaching Tricky Towers with only single player in mind, there are probably far better ways to spend your time. However, take it online – or ideally get some mates round – and you’ve suddenly got a fun, competitive little title that’ll easily keep you amused for a few hours.
The trials in Tricky Tower can significantly extend your game time due to their difficulty and quantity. However, beyond that single player option you can either engage in battles against friends locally or online, or try to see how many blocks you can stack in endless mode, and that’s it. Tricky Tower is a simple game, but the luck factor for success in a majority of the game modes can cause much more frustrating than something where the player’s skill has a larger affect on the outcome.
Tricky Towers is an okay single-player game, but you’re going to want this Tetris-inspired skyscraper builder for some couch co-op. It’s easy enough to grasp, but it’d be a whole lot more satisfying if the balance of the game wasn’t heavily favouring the luck of the draw over actual player skill.
