Tower of Time is a journey through an exquisite landscape, which promises both a rich story, (over 80k words!), and also satisfying RPG gameplay & tactical real-time-with-slowdown combat.

From the very beginning of the game, the story draws you in with intrigue, and a powerful desire to find out the history of the main character! The environments are hand-crafted, beautifully detailed -- the quality and care of the designers shows from the very first second of gameplay!

The tutorials on how to play -- explaining skills, the points system, equipment, combat, etc. -- are very easily understandable and make it easy to pick up the game without struggling in ignorance or needing to consult a wiki.

Controls are quite natural and fluid with Diablo-style movement. I really like that you can view the entire battlefield in combat, without the camera being locked on your character. This enables you to position your characters optimally, planning for enemy movements and attacks.

Points put into character skills, (special attacks), can be respecced at any time, which is nice if you come across a particularly difficult group of enemies and need to change your strategy on the fly.

The dialogue, story, and found bits of text are EXTRAORDINARILY well-written -- easy to read, yet interesting and entertaining. Some games have repetitive dialogue or become boring within the first 5 minutes... not so with Tower of Time -- it reads like a lovingly-crafted novel -- a work of literature unto itself.

I am still at the beginning of my journey with the game, but it has already impressed me to no end! (And remember, this is an indie title! The work done by the team is well beyond any expectation!)

I'm anxious to continue my journey, and see what other secrets the game holds! I'll be updating my review as I get further into the game :-)

I received a key from the developer to play this game on YT, so please check out my series if you would like to see video footage:
