Too many moments in Miden Tower, Kemco’s latest JRPG, borrow from more well-established anime properties like The Rising of Shield Hero. The protagonist, in particular, is unlikable to the point where I was smiling whenever he got hurt or humbled by those around him. Still, the story isn’t all bad. For one, the titular “Tower” that the game takes place in is fairly interesting setting-wise. Unfortunately, the simplistic JRPG-style graphics never really give you a clear sense of the world the story is trying to portray. The two redeeming qualities of the title are its combat system and one particular party member.
