...phew, glad I finally took care of that.
Hello, everyone!
RoR 2 may be taking the world by rainstorm right now (and we couldn’t be happier for its success), but that doesn’t mean we’re forgetting about our fellow Reapos.
This week’s highlight is one of my personal favourites. I’ve been conflicted about covering this in the past due to its length, but at last here it is: “Hightower” by Lil’Leto.
It’s a rather small map (so much that there’s almost no horizontal camera movement whatsoever), but the small space is packed with enemies, opportunities for elimination, and rich scenery in return.

This level doesn’t make it easy for you, either, with plenty of hiding skeletons, traps, and formidable foes like Patriarchs, Bartenders and Nightcrawlers. Oh, and there’s also your target, Ibzan, located at the top of the tower.
Yep, after clearing out the small warehouse at the bottom of the map, we’ve got to climb a long ladder to reach the top of the building. Inside is a club/apartment, which is even less forgiving with the amount of enemies it packs into a small space. Still, no task is too difficult for a dedicated Reaper!
Overall, Hightower is a short but sweet experience, filled with interesting design choices and a lot of firefights.
