Kara Dennison of observed that Tower Dungeon represents Nihei's shift from sci-fi to dark fantasy. She observed that the series features Nihei's distinctive monster designs and hints at deeper political intrigue. While the first volume mainly sets up the story, Dennison suggested it could appeal to both existing fans and new readers as a promising fantasy entry. Reviewing the first volume, Kevin Cormack of Anime News Network noted that the series marks Nihei's venture into fantasy, contrasting his signature sci-fi works like Blame!. He observed the manga retains Nihei's atmospheric worldbuilding while featuring simplified character designs and organic architecture. While praising the RPG-inspired premise and environmental storytelling, Cormack found the 160-page volume disappointingly short, ending as the narrative developed.
