Update 1: The Cave - Out Now
Hey Adventurers, the first Lucky Tower Ultimate Early Access update, “The Cave” is out now!
Here’s what's included in this update:
The Cave
More than 666 new voice lines
5+ new achievements
Ultra Widescreen support
New enemy: troll
New village quest
What is The Cave? The Cave offers an alternative way to escape the tower once you reach the exit door, allowing you to refuse Evelius’s offer and avoid the boss fight. This longer route out of the tower and into the Village will be a dark and atmospheric maze, visually reminiscent of Studio Seufz’s game The Longing. Companions can go insane in these tunnels, so be careful to keep morale high!
Please share your Lucky Tower Ultimate feedback with us! We’ve set up a feedback form with specific questions and we’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can improve the game for everyone in future updates.
Steam Bundles
There are two bundles now available featuring Lucky Tower Ultimate! German Rogues includes three roguelikes from Germany: Rack and Slay, Rogue Voltage and Lucky Tower Ultimate. There's also a Gunbrella and Lucky Tower Ultimate bundle with our friends at Devolver! Be sure to check out both bundles.
Enjoy the new way to escape the tower, we can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the cave and the update.

Two Weeks Since Launch!
Hey Adventurers, it's already been two weeks since we launched Lucky Tower Ultimate - we can hardly believe it!
Thank you for such a successful Early Access launch, it's been a great joy to see you bravely dive into the tower and to have so many of you joining us on our Early Access journey. While we can't respond to all of it, we're reading all of your suggestions and feedback, and we're taking notes on what you're interested in and how we can make Lucky Tower even more Ultimate!
The team has been working hard on all your bug reports, and we've been releasing patches regularly to quash as many bugs as possible. If you haven't already, be sure to join our Discord, you'll be able to access public beta builds and play on the latest branch a little earlier.
Known issues we're working on:
Evelius sometimes doesn't take items, when he asks for armor/helmets etc. You can still proceed by attacking him, but this will activate his hunter state.
Evelius doesn’t return items when he takes them just before the final floor
Giving Evelius a corpse to eat when he’s sitting at the table doesn’t work at times
Dialogues with companions or genie don’t work under certain conditions
Walking endlessly to the left/right in a room
Freeze when leaving the tower (exiting the game and coming back should bring you back to the village in most cases)
Black screens / rooms
Having no respawn menu after certain deaths
Slimes sometimes become braindead
Selling/Buying at the pawnshop can cause a freeze under certain conditions
Chinese dialogue appearing in the Russian localization sometimes
Hard to understand how to deposit gold at the bank (you have to unequip your pouch and “punch” the coins into the cell by pressing attack)
Game doesn't support UWHD resolutions at the moment
