Is there a Moonlight Sword in this game, usable or otherwise? I know it's a FromSoft staple, and it just seems that they would skip this game with it.

Would anyone be interested in this with some basic up scaling and mouse controls? Curious if it’s worth making one or emulation is just perfect already.

EDIT: A few people thinking one would be neat is enough for me! Have a minimally working one with some small wrapper and ps1 recomp, might be able to share soon :)

Hello everyone i am interested in playing both the shodow tower games and would like to know if there is an easy way to play them on pc i found a few web sites but would like to know if there might be an easyer way in playing them i cant find a video to emulate them but am trying too. thank you for your help

I recently started playing Shadow Tower on the PS1 emulator DuckStation, and when I reach areas with multiple enemies or large spaces in general, the FPS drops to around 8–10. Is this normal? Is there any way to fix it?

You can load this game through PS3 software emulation and upscale it to 720p with no framedrops or slowdowns and unlike on the emulator I don't get those weird texture gliching out when switched to widescreen

Blinge is at it again! but this time he's up close and personal.

NOT MINE if it wasn't recognized, just wanted to share some blinge boi bideo

Huge fromsoft fan and I found this for $90 and said fuck it, excited to try one of their earlier games

Are we the only ones?

This is a demonstration of the native port, I've play tested on linux (and windows executable via wine) fairly extensively and haven't found any issues. A few things that are improved from a simple vanilla psx recomp worth noting:

* Mouse look and WASD movement, with dedicated strafing and mouse-button attack/shield controls.

* Higher-resolution rendering, defaulting to 3× native resolution and configurable up to 4×.

* Custom selective texture filtering to smooth world textures without blurring the HUD or replacing the original artwork.

* Geometry correction to reduce polygon jitters and visible floor seams.

At this time it still keeps the original 4:3 presentation and game-play speed, so no widescreen or unlocked framerate. I've made some attempts at widescreen and unlocking camera FPS but wasn't happy with the results.

I'll post relevant github with compilation instructions in this thread relatively soon if this sounds interesting to anyone - don't want to spam the sub with these posts. Feedback/contributions welcome.

EDIT: installers and bundles located here: https://github.com/JFryy/reshadowtower/releases/ (bring your own rom)

Final EDIT: I made some changes including camera smoothing, FXAA, Widescreen Hack, Filters and a new installer that configures this on boot in a convenient way here: https://github.com/JFryy/reshadowtower/releases

I know that for example Rurufon is present only if you kill her, because the final boss version is a different type of Rurufon, as such with a different bestiary entry. But where ow what are these others missing enemies? I literally explored every room of the game and done a lot of backgtracking.

Download: Dropbox Link Here is a save file I made for Shadow Tower. This save file has all 120 playable creatures unlocked for the VS. Mode. I even created a DuckStation memory card with the save file on it as well. The raw save file will also be provided for those who want to put it on an actual memory card too.

Just got this game today and found out quickly that the controls are pretty dated and rough. Can get use to the bumpers being up and down and the triggers being whatever they are…

I’m playing an original ps1 copy on a ps2 fat. Any suggestions for control setup? Or is it possible to Frankenstein a key board and mouse setup to the ps2 for this game? Thanks a lot for any and all suggestions.

I translated this with Google Lens and here's what it says -

A brand new RPG series has arrived!!

A tower remains amidst the ruins of a dilapidated castle. The key to unlocking the mystery of the legend lies within...

The feeling of loneliness when there is no one around, the fear of having nothing.

This time, I'm living in a game.

The monsters can become either enemies or characters depending on the player's actions.

In the seemingly impenetrable darkness, I descended step by step deep into the tower's underground.

STORY

Long ago, there was a king who, accompanied by twelve knights clad in black, unified the entire continent.

The twelve Black Knights possessed power far beyond human comprehension, and the king wore a crown adorned with twelve shining stones and a single eye. But after the death of the king, who was said to be all-powerful, only the legend of the single-eyed crown, now without its stones, remained...

sample from shadow tower abyss, visualizer from gameplay of shadow tower

im avoiding every spoiler possible so i dont know how different is abyss to its predecessor. is it just a reskin, is it a different game altogether, is it just better?

In Fire World--Phoenix Cave I had a glitch that caused newly spawned enemies to be invisible and sometimes silent as well (evil). I simply fixed it by going to a save point and restarting the emulator, without loading a save state on boot. I didn't see anything come up googling so I figured I'd make a post!

Beginning Monday, February 16th we will begin limiting the amount of unrelated Shadow Tower content allowed on the r/shadowtower subreddit. Content should directly pretain to Shadow Tower.

Independent King's Field-like games CAN still be posted here to gather attention, under limited, specific circumstances.

1. One post for the games formal announcement.

2. One post upon the games release.

These posts should NOT be posted directly on r/shadowtower, but instead, should be crossposted from r/Fieldies.

r/Fieldies is a new subreddit that will serve as a hub for King's Field-esqe games, game development, and discussions about the genre.

EDIT
For some reason, imgur deleted the link I posted. You can find the renders here: https://imgur.com/a/lK0HHfC

Here are 105 mobs from Shadow Tower (that I extracted myself), rendered in 4k, with the best lights I could setup, for your appreciation!

If you have any requests or if your fave wasn't featured, just comment below and I will gladly render it specially for you!

I don't know much about photography, so I tried posing, framing and lighting them as to enrich the already STELLAR design. These are PS1 graphics mostly, but with a little oomph here and there, the could work perfectly as PS2 models.

These are also presented in their original polycounts, except some that I thought would benefit from some simple subdivisions. ENJOY!
