Our Expert Score

87/100

Towaga: Among Shadows is a breathtaking arcade shooter that feels like playing through a high-budget animated feature film. The art style is incredible, drawing inspiration from ancient civilizations and cosmic horror, and the framerate is silky smooth even during the most chaotic battles. Standing atop a temple and fending off shadows with a beam of light is a simple concept, but the execution here is flawless.

The gameplay is surprisingly strategic; you have to manage your light beam carefully to avoid overheating while prioritizing targets that are fast approaching. The upgrade tree is deep, allowing you to customize your powers to suit your playstyle. It’s intense, visually stunning, and has a soundtrack that perfectly matches the 'epic' feel of the journey. It is easily one of the most polished and satisfying arcade experiences available on the App Store today.

Managing the Beam

Pulse your fire rather than holding it down. This prevents your light beam from overheating and allows you to quickly pivot to deal with enemies spawning behind you.

Gameplays

Spell Synergy

Use the 'Wind Gust' spell to push back large groups before unleashing your 'Solar Blast'. Combining crowd control with high-damage AOE spells is the only way to survive the later waves.
