I don't recommend games; even less do I write reviews. This game deserves it. I only give 5 stars to the greatest game ever made, and that is Baldur's Gate 2; but this game is worthy of every one of 4 stars. Surprisingly, the story is engaging and the characters fun and appealing. It is a slow start, and can be frustrating. Make sure to do the challenges, and get the levels you need before going back to the tower crawl. I say "levels" but there is no "character leveling" at least by experience points. You attain gold and "blueprints"; then take them back to the city screen, and train up your characters. It is new and refreshing. The combat system is the gem, and makes the game shine. It is a joy to play this game. It is not too fast (RTS) or too slow (turn based) not that either of those are bad, but Towers of Time hits the sweet spot, you can slow game time to like 75% of normal speed (and you will need to sometimes) and hit your abilities and adjust positions. I will buy the sequel, and I will look out for this company's new games, this Tower of Time is a marvel, and I'm excited to be playing it. Bravo, well done.
I just got this, naturally, if you played this in the past, you probably had the expansion packs. I ordered them off ebay right after I purchased this copy from GOG and tried to install,...*poof*. It is not detecting Ghost Recon as installed. Not sure what the fix is,...registry setting? Move the installed files? Please fix this, or offer the expansions.
