Description
A new kind of RPG awaits you. A story-rich dungeon crawler with innovative real-time combat that lets you pause or slow time. Tactical thinking is essential to succeed. Enter the mysterious Tower of Time and experience the incredible adventures that lie within.



Tower of Time is an incredible adventure packed with over 50 hours of gameplay, hand-crafted levels, and a rich story told through cinematics. Taking classic RPG gameplay to the next level, Tower of Time features flexible character development, thousands of pieces of loot and equipment and the complex and tactical Arrow-Time real-time combat system.

Engaging story of epic proportions

Immerse yourself in a world where technology meets magic with devastating consequences. Gather a group of diverse champions and lead them through the tower. Hundreds of lore books and scattered pieces of information slowly reveal the history of Artara as your party of adventurers approach their fate.

Deep tactical real-time combat with pause or slow-time

Take ultimate strategic control of each battle with the Arrow-Time combat system that slows the action down to a crawl or pauses it. Plan ahead and position your party where you need them for ultimate effect. Use Arrow-Time to react to new threats, deploy devastating new spells and attacks and counter enemy attacks. No two encounters are ever the same. On harder difficulties - look at each battle as a tactical puzzle.

9/10
The game might seem to be a little formulaic to veterans of CRPGs but it is not without innovations of its own. For developer Event Horizon, Tower of Time is an astounding entry that gives fans of the CRPG genre something different to sink their teeth into.

7.8/10
Tower of Time is a rather enjoyable cRPG featuring an extremely engaging real-time battle system and some unusual mechanics, like its leveling system. While the story may not break away from some of the genre clichès, Tower of Time keeps players entertained with its charming characters, unique setting and well-crafted mechanics.

A very solid game for the price

I very much enjoyed Tower of Time. Good, melancholy storyline (which is hard to do), a mix of Diablo/Torchwood style gear system with a baldur's gate/icewind dale real time with pause combat, and nice some interesting decision points in builds. Not super challenging on normal, but there are difficult setting to amp up. End game gets a bit weaker in terms of overloading with resources, but story pushed me through until the end, even though I did predict much of it. I would say this is game best played in 1-2 hour blocks, as the combat can get a bit too similar if play too long, but other than that, very happy with the purchase.

Has potential but unplayable on Lnux

Note that this review is for Linux only, I have not tried it on Windows. The storyline is interesting, a tower plunged into earth upside down and the gameplay is quite unique. I'm more of a turn based RPG player but the combination of slow time/pause works really well. The battles can be tough if you're not well prepared but satisfactory once beaten. Unfortunately the game constantly crashes which makes it unplayable. On level 1 I'm now stuck because the game always crashes during a battle. A shame because it's an interesting concept and it has a lot of potential.

Well done game, well worth your time

The game respects your intelligence. It is fairly easy at normal levels, but you can adjust that. The game story is told organically, and the voice acting is very well done. There are lots of innovative mechanics and the world and motivations are very well thought out. Highly recommend.

overstay its welcome

pro- -story is relatively good, for a while (it gets pretty wonky after the halfway point) -characters are all unique with their own system and way to play. -graphics are great -puzzles are usually good but the ones at the end of the game are not, with less explanation or logic compared to the first half con- -the game is nearly 80 hours long. even half that number would be too much already -like previously said, story gets wonky and weird after the halfway point where character reactions start being very weird compared to what was established previously -the fighting system is a weird hybrid of strategy game and action. its tiresome and you quickly start dreading when a fight is coming up
