I don't have the mental capacity to write a full review right now, but I want to say that I'm pleasantly surprised by Tower of Time. I described the gameplay in a previous status update and mentioned that the story was surprisingly well done -- I didn't even know the big early twists at that point. I'm generally more of a fan of character driven stories, and, truth be told, the characters aren't particularly strong here. However, the world building, overarching narrative, and mystery were all spot on, though, and kept me invested and guessing all the way to the end. I'd love to say more about it, but I think it's a story that's best experienced with little foreknowledge, so I'll just leave it at that.

So far, it's my favorite game I've played this year. I'm really looking forward to the developer's next game, Dark Envoy, now!

I've put about 12 hours in to Tower of Time so far and I'm really digging it. It's a CRPG dungeon-crawler with some fairly unique combat and a surprisingly intriguing story. The combat is kind of a weird mish-mash of traditional CRPG, tower defense, MOBA. The average battle sees you controlling 4 heroes, each of which has abilities that feel like they'd be at home in a MOBA, in real time with pause combat and fighting enemies that spawn in waves a la tower defense. It feels a lot more like a tactics game than your average CRPG, which is a plus for me. For a game that's all about descending a dungeon, the story is surprisingly well done, managing to build a world with mysteries that I actually want to learn more about.

I'd seen a lot about it being hard even on easy difficulty, so I was a bit worried about frustration levels going in. I actually had to bump it up to Hard fairly early on to maintain even a basic level of challenge in most fights. I think it's one of those games that if you crack character building, you really squash the difficulty curve, so experiences vary drastically.

Anyway, my main concern at this point is that I tend to lose interest in most games around the 30 hour mark, and this looks to be a 40 hour game haha.

In terms of atmosphere and exploration, this feels like Pool of Radiance 2's more competent sibling.
