Legitimately one of the best stories I've ever seen in a game. It's absolutely a must play if you are into cRPGs. Forget any criticisms from others about gameplay style or whatnot. This game is about the story and my word it is fantastic. Whether you choose slow motion or pause mode, it's great. I had no issues with gameplay, no bugs, etc... But get it for the story. It's incredible.

I saw this game was on sale and attached to another game that I wanted (Infection Free Zone). Initially, when I was looking at the trailer for this game, I was thinking it was going to be lower quality, really short, and not that much fun. Boy was I wrong, and I am upset with myself for doubting this game at all. Though it is a bit on the shorter side (I completed the entire game in 28 hours. Side quests and challenges included on the easiest difficulty) I believe it would be longer if I played on a harder difficulty. I would see this game being somewhere from 32 - 45 hours long, based on your skill and the difficulty level. So, a respectable length for an Indie game! The gameplay is extremely addictive. It is not your usual turn based RPG, and it is not chaotic like a dungeon crawler. It mixes story, exploration, puzzles and combat very nicely. The fluid combat system with the tactical pause makes for a nice change of pace for a more tactical feel to the game while fighting. The range of abilities that the characters have compliments a variety of play styles, and I personally found it nice to be able to overpower all of my ranged fighters and just pick everything off at a distance without needing a front line! Speaking of the characters. The dialogue between the characters feels a little forced at times, but by the end of the game, I was genuinely invested into each of their stories. They all had different personalities, and character growth, and the good and bad things I liked and disliked about them. Very well done. The levels in the game, map wise, were interesting. Instead of a large open world map like Baldur's Gate, or Diablo, this game has smaller maps, but multiple descending levels that increase in difficulty as you progress. It adds a sense of accomplishment as you make it to the next level, knowing it will be harder moving forward. A great idea. The story seemed at first to be the standard "only one person can save the world by acquiring this power" story... but by the end of it, I realized that was definitely NOT how it was going to be. The twist at the end (no spoilers) really threw me off, and had me genuinely caught off guard and emotional. The puzzles in the game, I felt, were a little too few and far between. But some of them were definitely challenging! The one puzzle (no spoilers) that took me the longest was on level 6 of the tower, and I just couldn't figure it out for probably an hour or two. Very well done puzzle, and challenging, but able to be figured out. This game is an 8 year old Indie game from a small Polish studio (at the time of writing) but there is so much care, and love put into this project and it is noticeable. Event Horizon has made something very decently made here. I had a few minor bugs here and there. The biggest two being some audio issues later on in the game. It sounded like the audio was repeating itself because the game couldn't load properly, but that may be a PC issue, not a game issue. But the biggest issue I had was the map traversal mechanic. There were MANY times where I couldn't go up a set of stairs because the game didn't properly recognize where I was trying to move. So that would be my biggest complaint. Overall, for Tower of Time, I give this a solid 8/10. I highly recommend this game for anyone who is looking for a chill experience with fun gameplay, a good story, and a game that shows the love that the devs put into it.

Really interesting story, worldbuilding and mystery, you should atleast experience this game once it's worth it. If these guys had a big budged they would absolutely release an absolute banger, you can feel and see the minimal budged they had with this game, still fkn good!

This game is a real time with pause, isometric dungeon crawler game with interesting but short (game time doesn't reflect it) story. For some reason people tagged it as turn based but it isn't, you can just pause the game but everyone acts simultaneously. The game consists of about 10 floors, where you fight different type of enemies on each floor. You might think that it adds to the freshness of the game, and in a way it does, but it isn't enough because each floor forces 10-20 separate wave attack battles on you which still ends up feeling like a repetitive chore as they add up to a lot of time fighting the same simple enemies. Let me explain why: Enemies have some variety yes but it isn't really that deep, they still do the same thing in different shapes. The combat takes you to a special combat arena, you don't fight on the actual map you are crawling in (which I find unimmersive). In battles there are different mini objectives like taking down portals that spawn monsters etc but every combat essentially boils down to one thing: Defend against wave attacks, which is the main problem. You just fight and fight and fight... You either split your party around the arena, wait for the enemies to spawn and kill them and keep waiting for next spawns or you run around and kill them. It is very boring. Thankfully they added an option to speed the game up during the combat as if the developers are aware that the combat wastes a lot of your time. On the map you can see how many battles, chests, mini quests there are and your progress of them. So you know if you have exhausted all of the map and you are ready to move on, except for one quests every floor is self sustainable and doesn't rely on other floors so you can comfortably just clear them one by one and move on to the next. The build variety is fun and decently deep. Don't expect too much but each character in the game belongs to a separate class with unique spells. Each spell can be upgraded to have different effects on top like larger area of effect and more damage or more utility on it. You can have 4 characters in a battle, each allowed to take 4 spells with them. So most of the strategy is decided outside combat and in combat you are only juggling 16 skills total. Your characters heal outside combat, they even revive so as long as you win the battle you don't need to keep track of any sustenance. The skills have cooldowns and mana costs but no "usage limit" like a typical Dungeons and Dragons game. There are a lot of item drops with different effects but most of the items you will just end up dismantling for materials so you can craft your own, unless they are legendary in which case may be worth to keep. The story is fun to follow and interesting. Your companions chatter amongst themselves a decent amount, not a bioware amount but a decent amount. You will not bond with them enough that they will leave a mark on you but throughout the game you will get to know their personality a bit. There are couple RPG choices in this game but ultimately they don't matter at all, they just add some flavour text after each decision and depending on which companion you favour a different party-base buff or debuff if you disagreed with them a lot. Where the story fails is 1) The "dungeon crawling" in-between story bits is too long and there is actually not that much story despite all that 20h+ playtime. So it remains a bit shallow with no proper character depth or world building 2) The game is completely text based with voice acting on only dozen (main) lore entries which is not as immersive My overall TL;DR verdict of this game is that it's a very good DUNGEON CRAWLER game, and not a good crpg game. I was expecting the RPG depth of a baldur's gate 2, a dragon age, a pillars of eternity and I didn't find it here so I didn't enjoy it as much, but it's on me. I looked at the screenshots and trailer and jumped to a conclusion. You can make a better educated choice. If you enjoy dungeon crawlers this game is really really good game and really really cheap on sale as well. If you don't like them you might still enjoy it, you will at least get your money's worth. I still ended up finishing it because I wanted to see the story.
