TOKYO, Japan – August 31, 2026 –AMATA Games, the indie game publishing brand of AMATA K.K.is pleased to announce that a nostalgic yet new—venture into the 8-bit style RPG “Crescent Tower: RISING” developed by Curry Croquette will be released on Steam.
“Crescent Tower: RISING” Steam Version
“Crescent Tower: RISING” is a nostalgic yet new—venture into the 8-bit style RPG dedicated to the retro gaming generation and all RPG fans.
Its predecessor, Crescent Tower, developed by indie game developer “Curry Croquette” and published by AMATA Games in 2025, received high acclaim from many RPG fans for its 8-bit style pixel art, 2D dungeon exploration, and challenging command-based combat.
While retaining the highly acclaimed features of the previous game, such as “strategic simple command combat” and “exploration via dungeon mapping and field commands,” this title introduces a 5-chapter omnibus story where the destinies of different protagonists intersect. Packed with a deep and highly customizable character progression system that combines all 14 classes with the new “skill blocks” element, the game has been significantly powered up.
To allow more players to experience “Crescent Tower: RISING”, AMATA Games has decided to distribute the Steam version.
