Plot

Tower of Time is set in a fantasy realm that’s standing on a brink of annihilation. For a long time, this world has been slowly decaying; with each passing year the population of intelligent races has been becoming smaller and smaller as their territories were shrinking. You play as a warrior, who, when still a child, discovered a mysterious tower buried under the ground. Now a grown-up man, he understood that the inside of the tower might hold a key to preventing the apocalypse. Therefore, he gathers a party and sets out on a quest, which is this world’s last hope.

Mechanics

Released for PC, AND and iOS, Tower of Time follows the paths long paved by many previous PC RPGs. Gameplay comes down to exploration of the in-game world, completing quests, fighting and developing statistics of your heroes. In the game you take command of a team of adventurers, whom you control from top-down perspective. Each character is described by four parameters (strength, speed, magic power and vitality) and represents one of seven classes.

Combat is based in real-time. In order for the players to control the chaos of battle more easily, the game offers an option to briefly slow time down, which lets you give out orders without too much hurry. This is very useful, because characters have a wide array of attacks and special abilities at their disposal, many of which can influence the environment.

During the campaign you have to traverse thirteen floors of the tower, which amounts to about 20-30 hours of gameplay. In between missions, you regularly visit a local town in order to regain strengths and replenish supplies and equipment. Some buildings in the town can be upgraded, which unlocks new gear and abilities. The developers also remembered to include a crafting system.

Skill Up: 8 / 10 by Ralph Panebianco

I judge a game based on what it's trying to achieve, and there's no question that Tower of Time achieves what it sets out to do- provide a deep but accessible cRPG experience. It really just nails that.

Softpedia: 6 / 10 by Cosmin Vasile

Unfortunately, the console version paints a different picture: the game's charm and strengths are overshadowed by the poor technical execution. The release of a patch that just makes things worse can be an oversight, but it is still a severe one that further damages the experience. If you are looking for an RPG that dares to implement change and has a novel approach to the genre, Tower of Time has lots of potentials, but wait until all the issues are fixed.
