Fun!

It's been a long time since I've been drawn into a game to the point I lose track of time. This is my first review on GOG, despite being a user for over ten years. Tower of Time has really impressed me. Tower of Time is an RPG that isn't so complex I have to write the attributes down and chart out how they affect each other, and the story is interesting enough that I want to know what happened. But again, not so complicated I need a listing of gods and domains to understand. Upgrading gear and skills is fun, with little punishment to resetting. The tactical combat is real time, but throws me back to playing the Gold Box SSI games. (Something I play, to this day. My wife recognizes the sounds of Pool of Radiance. Once she hears them she says "Oh God, not again." and wanders off to leave me to my memories.) That's not to say the game doesn't have tactical depth or a detailed story. Compare it to reading Brandon Sanderson vs Robert Jordan. Jordan told you in detail about the lace cuffs on a character while describing them. Sanderson will give you more of an impression and a few details. What you prefer is up to you. You can dip in and out of the game easily, meaning those of us with little free time can play, save, and return to where we were. The skills - so far - have been universally useful. I need more time to decide if my enchantments are valid or not -- I had been hoarding gems, afraid to use them, but have found them to be fairly plentiful. I'm impressed, and am awaiting the developer's next game eagerly.

Effort was made

Got this during this past winter sale for free. I appreciate that there seems to be a lot of love put into this game with the scenario and the design assets - but the game is just really boring. I can't say I'm really inspired enough by the story to continue on past this first hour or so I've sunk into the game. Additionally, it's really weird to me that everyone is supposed to be in hard times and there's no sun or food or fun and DOOM! is upon everyone. But then, I look at my characters in my inventory screen and they have some fat, full faces. In contrast, I think of Summoner where a lot of the characters were in a ravaged world and they absolutely looked the part - gaunt, skeletal peasants scrambling against an empire. The combat system is interesting, but ultimately felt a bit lacking to me. The main fighter nearly singing all of his combat lines is both incredibly hilarious (unintentionally funny) and also super cringe inducing. I gave it a shot, was left wanting more. While I also wasn't that impressed with Pathfinder, it was a wee bit better than this game. The standard bearers for CRPGs will still be Fallout, the Infinity Engine games, and some of the early, 3D BioWare titles like KoToR.

So-so

This game is not bad alternative for browser games when I need to kill some time, but not more. If I have enough free time I'd better load some more complex rpg like Kingmaker or BGII. Too slow combats and so less dinamics for roguelike, too primitive story for RPG, even crafting end character advancing sistem doesn't compensate it. And bad optimisation - this game overheats my computer more than even Tyrany or Pillars, Ну такое... Неплохая альтернатива для браузерок, если надо потупить убивая время, а настроения и времени чтобы играть в Пасфайндер или вторую Балдуру нет и Eye of beholder приелся. Очень затянутая и однообразная боевая система, для рогалика не хватает динамики, для полноценной РПГ - сюжета (я то думал, что в первых Пилларах сценарий пробил дно бульварного чтива). Даже любопытная и развитая система прокачки и крафта снаряжения не спасает ситуацию. Вдобавок - плохая оптимизация - комп греется как будто каких-нибудь Дарксайдеров запустил, даже Тирания и Пилларсы его так не завешивали, хотя имеют куда более продвинутую графику.

Average in everything

If you like RPGs for their stories, quests and dialog, this game does a decent job. It's not something you will never forget, it's not a ridiculous story that just serves as a filler between combats either. If you like RPGs for their combat, this game has interesting ideas but fails to use them properly. The promise of challenging combat that will force you to think out of the box and adapt your strategy to many encounters is unmet. Encounters favor DPS by design (mostly because new ennemies spawn regulary and you want to kill a wave before the next one spawns). It's challenging for whatever time you need to get used to its gameplay, understand the stats and know what your characters can do, but once you've reached this point, nothing survives long enough for any tactic to matter, even on highest difficulty. Besides, if the game was really challenging, a combat log would be necessary to really understand how things work. There is none. If you like RPGs for character customization and building, this game has no "roleplay" customization. You control pre-generated characters with their own appearance and personnality, so it's more an adventure game than a RPG on that part. It has a simple but effective stats system. Itemization, on the other hand, is a bit messy. The most important stats are on magical properties that are completely random, even on crafted items. If combat was really challenging, this would force you to reload to get the item you want. If you like RPGs for their graphics, sound and music, this game does a good job on that part. Overall, it's a good game, but with several big design flaws that make it repetitive and boring after the first few hours.
