After three installments of the punishing apocalyptic strategy game series The Banner Saga, Towerborne is perhaps not the game you'd expect to see out of developer Stoic. Published by Xbox, this bright, colorful co-op action RPG is a joyous side-scrolling brawler with the weightier influences of games like Dark Souls, and it's meant to be fun for all the family. At Gamescom 2024, I sat down to play Towerborne with three other people, guided by game director Daniel McLaren alongside Stoic co-founders Arnie Jorgensen and John Watson, both formerly of BioWare.
