Many reviewers had mixed reactions to the AI, with friendly units seen as incompetant while enemies appeared more intelligent than ever. The Tower Pack has received mixed to negative reviews, with much of the criticism directed towards the level of extreme difficulty - especially on the Ranger difficulties. The grand total score of the player's efforts is shown on another electronic board. Chook and Geek celebrate the captain's success, stating that there is no way the plug for the project could ever be pulled now.
In between missions, Chook and Geek communicate with the Captain, telling him what the next level will entail and if he has unlocked new weapons - occasionally one can hear them talking to each other afterwards (possibly because they have forgotten to turn the speaker off), discussing previous experiments, events, and the simulation itself.Īfter completing the final level, the captain exits the simulator, and is greeted by a large and smiling audience. For every kill the player character (or any AI allies) make they will gain a few MGRs, but it is advisable not to shoot these as they are used as currency to buy ammunition boxes, AI allies, and other powerups. At the end of each mission the player is able to see their score on an overhead screen, and can check their score on the leaderboard at any time through the pause menu. The simulation is packed with hordes of enemies, mutants and other deadly threats, including boss enemies from the main campaign.Īlmost every weapon from the game is available, including some DLC weapons, but the level begins with a very small selection of basic ones, such as the Ashot and Kalash the player character has the opportunity to use more as they progress. Due to an injury to his leg keeping him from assisting in some important event the Metro Command remnants are planning, the Captain is sent to help the D6 scientists, Chukotski (Chook) and Anastasi (Geek), with their new combat simulator. Players have to fight their way up through a heavily guarded tower inside this virtual combat simulator, with each level increasingly more difficult. The Tower is set in a vague period of time, 7 years after the events of 'the great war' ( World War III), with the character playing as a remnant soldier of Central Metro Command.
The Tower features an online leaderboard for comparisons with other Metro veterans, but can only be accessed if the player is online. As such, players who are used to stealth may have trouble adjusting. The Tower Pack is a fearsome challenge for every Metro fan, with a huge emphasis on combat and gunplay - there are no stealth sections 4A Games decided to focus on the FPS side of Metro: Last Light because they felt the hugely improved gunplay (from Metro 2033) was not displayed enough in the main campaign, where almost every encounter can be avoided by using stealth.
