March 2025

This game is a hidden gem in the RPG genre – it definitely deserves more attention. You can see that it was developed passionately by people who love their work. The mysterious and captivating story takes you to a tower buried upside down in the ground to unveil its hidden secrets. The combat system is quite original, as the battlefield occurs in a more detailed location than the standard map. The real-time/pause mechanics enable players to carefully plan their actions against approaching enemies. The fun fact is that after you die, the next battle is arranged differently – your opponents don’t appear in the same way. The graphics and audio are pretty good – especially for an indie game. The game looks and sounds like a good fairy tale with satisfying combat, interesting levelling and crafting system and rich dialogues.

I'm currently 80% through the game. Though an indie title, it is really well developed and a labour of love. This is evident in the eye candy such as level design and sprite design. The writing and lore are also great, particularly in the context of a dungeon crawl. The TONE shifts seamlessly and beautifully across levels (even if it doesn't always make sense how this could all be in tower). There are quirks, such as reused battle scenarios, but with different combinations of enemies, but I appreciate it takes shortcuts and I feel Tower of Time really puts money where it matters, particularly character development. As a side note, the combat has a substantially similar feel to BG1 and BG2, but with more mobility and more "real time" feel, where there's no true pause and more of a... severe slowing in time. Like magnifying in on crucial moments. Very nice. I'm excited to play Dark Envoy and will probably pay more for it than I would have to support the studio. I am sad that I will be finishing the game soon.

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.

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

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.
