Tower of Time Reviews

I haven't played this gaem and i still like it... jk jk lol, I'm right now installing it, to me it seems like new Baldur's Gate... c'mon people of gamers, battle with auto-pause, and you still wondering if to buy? I'm not educated, and i still play it. I mean i will play it, right? what is time? I mean have i already played it or I'm going to? jk jk lol, I'm just installing it, more info LATER!

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.

The best part for me about this game was the story - I kept wanting to learn more about what's going on and even though I wasn't super happy about how the game ended, I would still very much so recommend this game. Besides the story, I also did enjoy (most of) the characters - and the combat was interesting enough for me too. As a fan of real time with pause, I always appreciate a good rpg with that kind of battle system. I like that you can switch the difficulty easily and that there is such a wide variety of difficulty options. If you just want the story but couldn't really care less about the strategic battles, choose story mode. And if you are up for a challenge... well, choose one of the difficulty options that give you a hard time. Or you can switch the difficulty for every battle if you so choose, no one's stopping you. All in all, I'd say that if you enjoy rpgs like Pillars of Eternity, this is an interesting little game to try if you're looking for something a bit similar but shorter - around 30-40 hours, depending on your play style and the difficulty. This game is not as deep when it comes to characters, this is an indie title after all, but you can tell lots of effort and love was put in it and I for one had a great time while playing it.

It took me very long to finally play this game. I started and stopped it after less than an hour a bunch of times. I really liked the premise at first, but didn't manage to enjoy the gameplay quite as much. That was until I somehow felt intrigued and went back to it, and told myself I'd give it at least a few hours to really understand the game, and I'm glad I did. The combat system, skills, strategy, and storytelling take some time to get used to, but once you do, they're quite rewarding. Characters can be built in unique ways, and combats are deeply strategical and fun. The plot is intriguing and full of mysteries, I quite liked it. The ending is very sad, but it does bring the story to a closure. I would definitely recommend this game just due to how unique it is.

I really enjoyed the game. I enjoyed the overall story. The banter between the characters was a little strange at times. The music while exploring was relaxing. The overall level design was interesting. You generally found everything while exploring the level. I liked how the tower change over time with the different levels. I wanted to explore every corner to find everything. The combat is OK. I was not a huge fan myself. When you fight you are in one of many different types of maps where mobs spawn from portals and you kill them. It felt strange compared to the rest of the game. Each character has talent trees and attributes. You can respec. You can craft items and upgrades. It lets you change things up a bit or tweak between battles if you struggle. For the price, I got over 65 hours of entertainment out of it. If you little RPGs with a different type of story give it a try.
