Tower Unite

I'm new to this overall so ran through it and couldn't believe i'd missed out on this gem since 2016.. i have created for Vrchat for years and i'm just shocked i have had nobody mentioned this title to me in the past.. its simply an amazing game and i can really do it no better than just amazing because you can practically do and buy anything with in game currency which you earn.. there is no buying of funds or adverts or anything remotely like that.. just overall game time + playtime = reward.

Plus gotta hand it to them on so many levels.. i design Theme parks in mostly everything ive played over the years, yet what they have here in arcade games alone is insane.. i just wish i knew about this title in the past and didnt spend most of my time wasted using the unity engine. lols.

So overall i would say im kinda mind blown as it stands, have not used it in VR yet but pretty sure using a wired headset and not a meta quest would be the way forward here.. but will update the review via headset when i get the chance.

I also like the workshop.. so much easier than running with Unity + SDK, overall designing in this is really well done because its literally built into the client for worlds/avatars/items etc, i will be creating alot of content here and releasing on workshop of that i can guarantee.

Incredibly cozy online hangout with countless activities to do with friends, alone, or with random people. 10/10 definitely recommend.

They Basically took a community game from Garry's Mod and made it way less fun for pure profit. They had the Garry's Mod Tower servers shut down again. I just don't see why they don't finish their own game instead of destroying a community that made what you guys are today. It really is messed up because Tower Unite would be nothing without the start of gmod tower, and garry's mod is all about the community modded content. Now they are stopping people from being creative this is just the saddest thing I've seen online.

Even though the devs sometimes make weird unnecessary additions to the game, free updates for eternity is fucking sick. Big fan of all the custom content in this game too! I just wish more people played some of the minigames.

Great game, community within the game is dedicated to it and you'll find random people on doing random things at random places. My only gripe with the game is if you are going to buy it, I recommend to have a friend buy it with you. It makes for trying out all the games and features much easier and makes for a more fun experience. Can't really speak to the experience of buying the game solo and having to make friends in the game (but it is pretty easy to strike up a conversation with anyone around). If you're chronically online, or looking for a social game with cool minigames you can waste your time on, this is the one for you.

Nothing to get excited about Cheaters rule the roost mostly here, you have a thing to play with others that have no skill except to cheat others in scores.go ahead, garbage bags of skin, permitted cheating otherwise why has it been allowed to go on for over a year you want honest play, go elsewhere

gambling is awesome

VR is coming

gambling sim upgrade soon

This is a racist, transphobic, horrible game!

GMod Cinema, but the community's less likely to get you put on a terrorist watch list.

Touted by voice actor Gianni Matragrano as "Like VRchat for gamers," as nonsensical as that statement is, it does seem to be the case. The existing game modes featured are really solid games from a Golf-It clone with Workshop maps to an Arena Shooter with workshop maps, the workshop support seems to be slowly being implimented into most if not all games eventually.

The double edged sword is where it differs from VRC; the price and the nature of the Workshop supported content serve as a barrier for certain players and content it will certainly keep trolls out and the limits of the workshop moderation keeps any problematic models from being added (Unsolicited nudie models, "crasher" avatars, or anything emblematic of hate) but the 20 dollar price tag is quite a tall barrier of entry for what TU is compared to the free (in both meanings to a degree) alternative of VRC.

That said, Tower has draw in the Condo side of things. Play time, especially in games, translate to Units which you can spend on properties or decorations to make an in-game home look as cozy or demented as you want. Fill a whole condo with emulator machines (Which run surprisingly smooth for being a game within a game btw, that's some voodoo magic) or lewdie art if you want (as long as you tag it if it's open to the public), what you do with your condo is more or less entirely fair game.

I love how we are able to play a new virtual game that allows you to create your own avatar and homes. Hopefully we get more clothes designs or a neighborhood with other players!

a great party game with lots of stuff to keep you and your friends entertained for hours highly recommend

Honestly... Best social game ever made. Has glitches yes, are they funny yes, but this game is updated and added to CONSTANTLY

My Favorite Sims Games!

This game is everything you want and need!
Great dev, Great Community (L)

Fun idea but the social element is really bad. Players are very very often needlessly hostile and/or clique-ey. My advice is to ignore this aspect of the game and play it purely either for the mini-games or with your own friends that you know personally. This is a pretty major caveat considering interacting with the community is an instrumental part of the game's feature set. The mini-games are decently fun and so is the condo-building but the community is just really bad

Great game to play to goof off with friends. Lots of options for stuff to do! We like it a lot, and have even made a few friends through this game :)

Really fun and cozy game! Lots of arcade and casino games to play, as well as actual minigames like go kart racing, a zombie shooter and many more. And the player housing system's really neat!

Edit: They can and will ban you for anything but keep their list of rules brief when you join and look at them in game. Take a look.


A social game is only as good as the variety of discussion you can have in it. Particularly egregious interaction rules are "No agreeing with J. K. Rowling.", "No Illspeak of Developers", "No Trolling", "No Controversial Discussions", and "No Debates". There are also numerous double standard rules including "No Politics", "No Sexual Behaviour", "No Controversial Discussions", "No Media that can break any of our Rules", "No Offensive Text-Hats", and "No Offensive Condo Titles".

Original review:

I have a lot of nostalgia for GMTower and this game but I dislike the admins and moderators and preferential treatment given to the crowd you likely already know.

Lots of freaks playing as well and being uncensored within condos only goes as far to the types of images you can host within them. You can and will get punished for what you say even within your own condo where there's supposed to be "no moderation" and be chat banned from every single "unmoderated" condo if you get chat banned in the lobby.

I'm by no means a puritan but it's stupid to allow the levels of nsfw they show within condos while also protecting certain other classes and banning people who get a bit too uppity against them. I guess it's fine if you're a pervert who falls into that group. I'm sure it's also fine for them to trash talk whoever they see fit.

You can get a lot of mileage trolling people in it. Be careful what you say though. They're more than happy to ban the people who spend 20 dollars on their game if they don't like them. If they want more people in their game they should lower the price down to 5 and just ban people over and over again.

Edit 2: I have not been banned as of writing this review and have never been banned. My biggest issue is the double standards of the moderation who very obviously have leanings they cater to. Read the link and ask yourself why it only specifies one group of people who would have one particular point of view they hold.

silly game with a lot of activities, house building, and basically playable characters across like . Thousands of franchises i'd assume.

High quailty game but needs more room to make money in a reliable way, and there should be a player rating system where you can like people and they will get money so being kind is rewarded

A nice successor to gmod tower, and an overall decent social hub type game. plus you can gamble

kind of boring tbh. dont quite understand the whole house thing.

This game is hands down one of the best social multiplayer experiences out there! It’s like a virtual amusement park where you can do almost anything—play mini-games, decorate your condo, explore unique attractions, and just hang out with friends. Not to mention, play retro emulated games on the go, or at your condo! The level of creativity and customization is insane, allowing us players to personalize their space, design custom avatars, and even create their own game worlds.

THIS IS A MUST BUY!

Has a little bit of everything, some fun, some for filler, but all in all, play mini-golf

The game has been around for a long time and is still expanding to this day. Lots of fun, even solo, and constantly updated. Just an awesome game to relax to after work/on weekends.

Fun game to play with friends and have fun messing about.

It's an alright social timewaster, but your time and money are better off on something that has gameplay in addition to social aspects, like Monster Hunter. I can only recommend this if you either are really into the creative side of things and want to have your own space, or if you don't have any friends (Game's hubs are decent at finding people). If you have friends already, invest in something else

buggy at times but fun

Spent my time in the crash report than actually playing the game.

If you enjoy downloading pre-cached shaders everyday for a game that breaks even more every update, this is the game for you, Most of the mini games in the plaza are janky, dont get me started on bowling. What are the devs doing, road to 1.00? Road to sampson option.

Fun game! Alot of minigames, and Steam Workshop added player customiziation. A more better, normal version of VRChat that's actually worth playing.

Performance still sucks it used be like bayonetta for the ps3 to me, but now it's bayonetta for wii U to me. Would love to see more games like this though.

The game has been in early access for 5+ years.
Do not buy the game or the "supporter packs" until the devs learn how to fix their dog-water servers and optimize the performance of the game.

Players constantly report bugs and the devs don't do anything about it.

W game, 420 hours on record at time of review. Atleast 42069 more hours worth of gameplay

Ever since I've heard of this game back when it was called Gmod Tower I've always wanted to play this game, but I never could for various reasons and circumstances. But now that I've got a more powerful gaming laptop I can confidently say that this is a great game. Even though I've only done bowling, theater watching and condo decorating so far, there's so much stuff to do that you won't get tired easily. I knew this game was something special when my first playthrough of it lasted around two hours. So this'll definitely be a game I could see myself racking up hours in.

I love the concept of Tower Unite. The idea behind it is great, but the updates are slow, and after a short time, you’ll run out of things to do.

I often find myself playing and then wondering, why not just play Rec Room, Roblox, or another game with more user-generated content? Those games let you jump into tons of party games with others, while Tower Unite feels limited in comparison.

I really want this game to do well, and I know the team is small and working on it. But from what I see in the developer updates, a lot of what they’re working on doesn’t seem to make the game more fun. Some of it feels like things players could already be making with the housing and user-generated tools (though not all of it).

I absolutely love this game but at the moment there are way too many downsides to recommend. Don’t get me wrong, this is one of the best “have fun with friends” type games with a fun Arcade, Bowling Alley, and Casino but those are where you always see the majority of players, leaving things like the Minigames area and Server Events completely dead. Some things require 2 to 4 players to start so it’s impossible to even try them out. The game isn’t exactly dead with they’re being at least 2 servers (one on the East Coast and the other on the West Coast) that are almost full with 2 having about half capacity. The other major issue I have with the game is the UGC/Workshop content being extremely unoptimized. I have a decent PC that can run games like Doom Eternal and Apex Legends at max graphics with 60fps with no issue but have a hard time running the game in populated servers and I only assume this is because of the Custom Avatars. The other big turn away is the price where I got the game for about 50-70% off a few years ago and have been wanting to get it for a few friends but haven’t seen it go on sale. I do think that having the game be paid for is a much better option than doing something like VR chat dose with a subscription service but I think $20 (USD) is too much. Then again the game is still an alpha and has been for quite a while so I hope as time goes on they figure out a way to iron out some of the issues like figuring out a way to optimize the Avatars/UGC and maybe drop the price for the full game release. Again I absolutely love this game and have a blast playing (when I can) and only wish for it to get better.

We have guns, fishing, and Gianni as a voice actor. This is now Ultrakill, and Ultrakill is great. So this is great.

This has the best mini golf it is way better than golf with friends

This is a retirement simulator where you can play games and do interior decorating and I highly recommend it. While this game could use polish it's one of the best multiplayer experiences on steam i can think of and I'm surprised it's not more popular than it is now.

its like if VRchat was a video game first and a social platform second, very fun!

A really great hangout game. It makes it really easy to get together with your friends that might not all usually play the same games, and with minimal setup, just need the game and you're good to go. It's hard to describe it's charm, it has its own vibe I can't really compare to anything else. The steam workshop models make it easy for everyone to just grab a model they find charming or amusing and mess around. I've kept coming back to it now and then since I first picked it up years ago, so it's staying power is remarkable as well. Great music, and no intrusive micro-transactions. Definitely recommend checking out with your friend group if you're curious about it.

This game deserves so much more attention. The amount of dedication to adding new mechanics over the life of the game by the devs is astounding. This game has more features than most other arcade games combined. The ability to use a media player with friends , or how customizing your condo is a fun way to show off your accomplishments and (in game currency-no micro transactions) purchases makes it more than a game but a community. I also love the fact that there's over 600 achievements, it keeps the game challenging yet fun.

It's Scope Creep: The Game, but that kinda makes it perfect for getting some friends together for a night every other month or so and seeing what's new. Also, the OST slaps for some reason.

It's ight idk, condo creating is pretty fun

Genuinely had the best time ever playing Tower Unite with my friends this past summer, and I wouldn't trade those moments for the world :)

Overall amazing game with a lot of variety, I can't wait to see what future developments will bring!!!

Insane, fun, goofy, exciting. Fantastic alone but better with friends.

An awesome game full of minigames and an enjoyable building system.

Not sure if its "Good" yet, but 20$ isn't that much, and its a novel fun concept for what i got now.

I am like... 99% sure this is a Remake of a Garry's mod Gamemode, but that's neither here nor there.

I had several hours of fun with friends, and thus it gains my approval.

sunshine daayyyyy! no seriously, i love ball race and suite building and golf and the arcade and literally everything
