It’s an incredibly meaty game, having already spent over 100 hours in before I’ve even reached its climax, and I would love to share the experience with more people.

Tricky Towers launches physically for Switch June 8th!

Tricky Towers is a physics-based multiplayer game that launched on the Nintendo Switch eShop back in 2018. Thanks to Super Rare Games, however, the title will be seeing a physical release with a collector’s edition very soon… as early as next month!

The aim of the game is to stack up bricks to create a strong and stable tower while also trying to tumble down your opponents’. Luckily you are all wizards who can cast a range of defensive and offensive spells. Up to four players can play at the same time over three different modes either through online or local play. There are also 50 trials to take on as a solo wizard, perfect for you to hone in your magically architectural skills!

Included in this collector’s edition are six previously released DLC packs, a 12-page fully coloured manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and three random trading cards from a five-card set. The edition is limited to 4000 copies worldwide and launches on the 8th June for £32.40; pre-orders begin next week on Thursday 28th May.
