This is a look back at the social gaming legend that was GMod Tower. What it was, what made it so great, the rise and fall of the server and everything in between. So today, I will be giving you a look back at GMod Tower. Although Tower Unite is a great game-I mean, I funded it on Indiegogo-it just doesn’t have the same feel or sense of nostalgia and community that GMod Tower had. On the 8th of April 2016, GMod Tower closed its doors forever to make way for its sequel: Tower Unite.

It’s almost a standalone game in itself, and now, it literally is. One of the largest and most ambitious gamemodes/servers to ever be modded into the game, GMod Tower allowed players to login to a server with sixty three other players to engage in a variety of activities. If you somehow missed the title, the game I’m talking about is, of course, GMod Tower. If you’ve been an avid player of Garry’s Mod for the past three to ten years then you probably noticed that I missed out a server so massive that it has been immortalised in the history of Garry’s Mod. I last talked about the game when I listed some of the best gamemodes the game and its community has to offer. What you do in Garry’s Mod is up to you, it’s a sandbox and the majority of maps, gamemodes and creations have been birthed by the game’s immortal community. Despite being well over a decade old, the game managed to attract a large amount of people and the community is still very much active today. For those who have been living under a rock, Garry’s Mod was a game created for the Source Engine all the way back in 2004. It’s been quite a while since I last talked about the source engine phenomenon that never dies: Garry’s Mod.
