I think I glanced at this game once or twice, as it is a kind of game I like, but nothing about it "grabbed" me. Years later some article pops up in the news feed "Amazingly good RPG for $2 on sale." so I finally tried it out. I'm staggered how good this game is. An interesting story and world to discover, characters who are a bit archetypical but still interesting, and mechanics... man, the mechanics! So many game devs could do themselves well studying how this game works, being challenging while being very player friendly. The item system to let you take old or unwanted gear to turn it into new, more desirable gear is just terrific. Now that I played it, I would say it's worth full price. Definitely reccommend.

This is not a bad game. It's not great, but not terrible either. The gameplay feels like a single player MOBA where you control 4 heroes with 4 abilities each. You can slow down time and issue orders. The mechanics are simple and they work. The story is very fantasy/sci-fi. It's cute but feels like reading self-published fan-fiction. I played it because I was a bit bored and was trying out older games from my lengthy backlog. Probably won't finish it.

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.
