A great take on the crpg formula. Good story as well. Lucky to have so many different rpgs. This one is kind of Grim Dawn meets Pillars of Eternity. Worth the buy

A true hidden gem among crpg games. Tower of time is their first game and they done it so well. Before I start to talk about tower of time let me just say I finished it multiple times first on steam in 2019 then on gog and again on steam. I bought multiple copies so far because I really like it. Why not? I will not talk about story much but I will say that story is really good, interesting that keeps you going until the end. As a dungeon crawler looks amazing I believe they used Unreal Engine 4 for this game. Level of details is amazing, waterfalls, stone statues, carving on the walls, particles that falls on the ground, astonishing. Gameplay is what you would expect from an rpg game, exploration, managing your party members, finding loot and gearing your heroes. Other part of the game are fights that taking place in small arenas where you can test your tactical skills against lot of enemies. Tactic is crucial part of every battle, sometimes felt like there were too many enemies but never felt unfair or too hard. Equipping and gearing your team is huge part of the game, there is so much depth in it, enchanting, crafting, transmuting... I guess that`s why I liked it so far cause I could test different playstyles and builds. There are 6 classes in the game pre-determined, we cannot change that which means there are no character creation screen, something I didn`t like. No matter how you play or what difficulty you choose you always start with Keane and Meave (shieldguard and archer). Another thing I liked is that they all have different personalities, very often they would argue about something which makes game so much more fun :) After 3 playthroughs I can only say amazing game and incredible job and ideas from this small team. Great job guys. If you`re into CRPG games don`t skip this one, its really good.

I bought Tower of Time for 5€ on sale, thinking "great, another CRPG for the collection". When I started playing it a couple of months later, I realized that wasn't the case. Tower of Time is actually a hybrid between several game genres. It's a dungeon-crawling, strategic RPG with elements of Tower Defense games. The story is mediocre at best, the point of it being that you have to reach the last level of the Tower of Time in order to save the world (yawn). The Tower has 10 levels and is filled with all kinds of monsters, loot and secrets. You start by controlling 2 characters, but more will join you eventually, leading to a party of up to four characters. Each character is of a different class, featuring different skill sets and available gear. There is also a backstory to each of your NPCs, but it's half-baked and not really worth mentioning. You can upgrade your characters for gold outside of the Tower. Each of them has many different skills, but can only have 4 equipped at one time, giving the player an option to experiment with different combinations and playstyles. I found Tower of Time very interesting at first, but it became increasingly repetitive as I played on. The combat in this game is pretty unique and resembles Tower Defense games. When engaging in a battle, your characters will have to fend off waves of enemies that are spawning in specific points on the map - just like in Tower Defense games. The combat is real-time with pause and it involves a lot of clicking and micro-management. Along with the rest of the game, it's pretty fun at first, but gets annoying and repetitive around the third level of the Tower (there are 10 levels in total). Tower of Time can be a breath of fresh air for some players, as it offers a unique blend between several game genres. Sadly, the game doesn't have a good enough story to remain interesting for long. If you like what you see on the screenshots and enjoy a good dungeon crawler, you probably won't regret buying it on sale. Score (out of 10): 5.5

Awesome graphics and gameplay. Great UI. Great storyline. Skill tree takes a bit of getting used to.

June 2024

I'll start off by saying that a "neutral" review would do this game more service than an actual thumbs up, but ultimately the game has more positive aspects than negative ones, so hence, my choice. Tower of Time is a real-time strategy RPG where you explore multiple maps and engage in team combat against the enemies you face. The story is fine, and the characters are also just fine, but neither of them are something special. This game, however, lives and dies by its combat system, and it's the main thing that either draws people in, or turns them away. It summarizes as this: once you have seen one battle, you have seen them all. Sure, bosses have gimmicks and there are certain special encounters, but to say the combat feels repetitive would be an understatement. Personally, I liked the combat, even if it felt stale by the mid-game, I kept pulling through because I wanted to keep unlocking characters and to see the end of the story, which was a bittersweet kind of thing, to be honest. Overall, my main recommendation is to download it and try to get into a battle as fast as possible to test the combat system. If you're ok with basically doing that over and over for the next 30 or so hours, then you can definitely stomach the game. If you can't, you'd do better to refund it and play something else.
