Tower of Chaos Reviews

As someone who's played a lot of TFT, this is great if you want something that's like a solo version with meta progression.

I would give this game 3-4 of 10 points. It's okay and it's core I like it: You have a story, as usual you can buy permanent updates and so you have to do run after run after run to become better (stronger) and unlock more stuff. The exploration is an interesting idea, too. But even in the first hours it just feels to be grindy and I doubt that it will change the longer you play. The reason I give a thumbs down (and stopped playing it) is mostly because of the controls and (not existing) settings. Many QoL features are missing. For example: -I am asked EVERY time, if I want to explore "pretty" or "basic". Why can't i save that setting? - EVERY time I start a new run, I get tips like "get money and create interest". I get always the same 5 tips. Yes, I used the middle setting (some tips) but when I'Ve seen (and confirmed) the tips a few times I don't need to see it again every time. - Why can't i close menus/screens with ESC? For example: With L you can change the units or buy new, position them on the field etc. When I'm done, I want to press ESC to close the loadout and continue exploring. Every time the game menu opens.. The worst (for me) is the size and missing highlighting of the battlefield. The units are so small, the icons are around 5x5mm (millimeters) in size so I have to guess what items they have. In general to get some information is just cumbersome. The controls in the "battlefield screen" should be improved. Another example: When I have some classes like warriors*, who are tanky and the class is active I want to see where my warriors are. So that I can position them to the front to tank the damage. Or put 1-2 to the back when the enemy has assasines which teleport in the last lane. * not sure if this is the correct name Same for units on the bench: They're so small that I can't see them. I don't know do I have 1 or 2 types of the same unit. In general this game could use some ideas of Dota Underlords. I'm playing on WQHD and most stuff on the "battlefield screen" is just margin, free space, nothing, air and space. The idea and the style are good. But the controls and UI needs some polishing.
