BABYLON'S FALL: WINGS OVER AN EMPTY TOWER

Platinum flash, quiet servers. Image used for review.

3 of 10 bananas. Pretty flight. Empty nest.

By the Alpha. So-bad-theyre-good cautionary. Updated Sept 2026.

Honest note: This verdict is not from a fresh hands-on playtest. I built it from launch coverage, critic consensus, patch history, and known play. If I put real hours in on stream, I will update the score and say so.

Platforms: It launched on PS5, PS4, and PC in 2022. Square Enix shut the servers down on February 27 2023, and the game needed them to play, so no version is playable today. There is no store button on this page on purpose. The servers are gone, the game cannot be played, and I will not sell you a disc that does nothing.

Sit with me a moment. Babylon's Fall looked like platinum flash in a shared tower. What remained was a co-op action shell that could not keep the lights on. Pretty wings. Quiet floors.

What It Wants To Be

A stylish co-op action RPG from Platinum with loot loops and aerial combat spice. Live-service seasons. Tower climbs with friends.

What Works

When combat sings, you feel the studio pedigree. Visual swagger. Short bursts can still entertain as archaeology on stream.

What Breaks

Listen well. Content drought and live-service confusion killed the climb. Systems never earned a daily habit. Delisting and shutdown made the point permanent.

Who Should Play

Curious collectors only. Not a recommendation for new troop members hunting a main game.

STRENGTHS

  • Flashy Platinum combat peaks
  • Visual style still pops
  • Useful live-service autopsy
  • Short co-op bursts can amuse

HONEST COSTS

  • Support and content failed
  • Systems feel thin over time
  • Service life ended
  • Better as history than habit
ALPHA VERDICT: 3.0 of 10. Study the scar. Laugh with the troop, not at them. No store button here: it will not play, so there is nothing to buy.
