Story
Players control Bathoryn, a hero in a gothic world who must free seven great towers from seven deadly overlords. Bathoryn must make his way through a doomed land of cruel pixel art enemies before climbing (or sometimes descending) each tower, defeating puzzles, traps and monsters along the way. At the heart of each tower, he must face a powerful overlord. If you defeat him, Bathoryn's adventure continues. If you fail, you will die horribly - mauled by werewolves, dismembered by floating monstrosities, crushed by great weights or torn apart by hidden blades. And you will fail...
