Dear Players, We are happy to release another update with few quality of life features requested by you and few important fixed. We are also adding Polish to the list of supported languages.

Język Polski

Język polski został dodany do listy wspieranych języków. Gra powinna automatycznie wykryć język na podstawie języka systemu - aby przełączyć język ręcznie, wystarczy wejść do Settings/General i zmienić Language na polski.

Other languages update

We are entering testing phase for Russian language now. We should be ready to release it within next two weeks. We are also working on Turkish, French, Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Japanese – although here we cannot give you time estimate yet.

Graphics improvements

We made some significant changes to few areas, adding a lot of “depth”. We also have continued to optimize the graphics, reducing the load in few places indicated by the players

Quality of life features

New Map with Points of Interests We have changed the maps - they are now rotated towards camera view, can be zoomed in / out and also contain all points of interests that count towards progress. It will make hunting for this “last chest” much easier now.
Fast mode in combat You can now accelerate time in combat to 3x normal speed - for those who want to resolve the combat quickly.
Pre-battle screen information Information about number of enemies - indicated by the number of skulls from 1-4. It should be now easier to prepare for encounters.
Mana Orbs fights When the last mana orb is destroyed, it does not end the fight abruptly anymore. Instead, it does explode and releases highly toxic gas that is damaging your champions. You can continue to fight and eliminate last remaining enemies, if only few remained.
Portal and Tower Icons - we have reworked them a bit, so they present information in more transparent way.
Added animations when your champions are idle - not the most important feature, but it adds some life to your party when you are exploring.

Combat balance

This time we made only very small changes - mostly to few boss fights. It seems we are done with balancing phase for hard and epic now - with your support we managed to create a game which should remain challenging until the very end. Cheers! If we continue to work on the difficulty it would be to add another level - one step above epic or add a mode when you can have maximum three champions in your party. We have also reduced a bit RNG for loot and crafting. Sometimes you could get a very powerful (2% chance) or very weak item (8% chance), which was either temporarily game breaking or truly annoying - we removed those outliers now.

Fixes

Fixed key in water sector on level 4 - where sometimes it disappeared after going to the city and returning from it. If you go to this place - it will be waiting there.
Fixed fountain on floor 6 giving 10% mana - instead of +10 mana

Thank you for your support so far. Your feedback is extremely important to us - as you can see we do listen to your suggestions. Please leave a review for us here on Steam, if you feel that we deserve it. Cheers, Event Horizon Team

Tower of Time is a new take on classic RPGs. It has hand-crafted levels filled with various enemies, challenging puzzles, and engaging story-lines. Its dynamic real-time combat with slow mode requires tactical awareness and careful preparation of the party.

At the moment the content is for approximately 15 hours of game-play time on normal or lower difficulty, excluding optional battle challenges.

Before you buy:

If you are looking for a game that is trying to bring something new to RPG genre - Tower of Time is an attempt at just that. If you are not sure if you like the combat we implemented - before you buy - please check some YT clips or visit our YT channel, where we uploaded the combat gameplay recorded and commented by an actual player. This is not a turn-based combat, rather a combination of RPG and RTS on a small scale, where you have the ability to slow time at will.

On Hard difficulty the game is meant to be hard, requiring your undivided attention throughout the entire combat encounter.

On Epic difficulty - there is only one party/skill/item composition for each enemy/boss type that we know of - one mistake will likely wipe your party. You must be in full control of the battle every second. Experimentation and thinking outside-of-the-box will ensure your success here.

Features:

Engaging story – set in a world where technology met magic with devastating consequences. Hundreds of lore books and scattered pieces of information slowly reveal the history of Artara as the protagonist approaches his fate.
Novel combat system – unique real-time action with a slow-time feature, where each match is played on one of many separate tactical maps. Plan ahead and position your party accordingly. Use slow-time to react to new threats or negate enemy skills. No two encounters are ever the same.
Five difficulty levels: You can choose whether you want only to enjoy the story or test your tactical thinking and skills.
Build your party around typical tank/dps/support composition or try something entirely new.
Different combat scenarios - e.g. Swarm or Only Elite - will ensure that combat is not repetitive.
Find secret locations, cleverly hidden in the environment. Travel through hand-crafted levels where every single place is carefully designed.
Seven classes to choose from, and your party can be adjusted at will and anytime, depending on the challenges you face. Each champion has unique skills that can be upgraded and re-trained at will. (In Early Access six champions are available, as the seventh joins your party at lower levels).
New character progression system: there is no experience to gain. Instead, discover ancient knowledge to unlock new skills and carefully design your characters. Each character could be turned into a powerful and durable attacker or a skill-based champion.
Defeat powerful elite enemies (bosses) wielding diverse skills and spells. Assess their strengths and weaknesses carefully to succeed.
Complete combat challenges for item rewards and unique enchanting recipes, or just to test your new party setup.
Random loot system. Craft item of your choice and power, using crafting crystals of various types. Discover ancient enchanting recipes that can change the nature of the combat, granting regeneration aura or immunity to special effects.
Upgrade your city as the main training/equipment hub and repository of all the lore you find.

Story:

For long ages past, Artara was a place of great peace and beauty. Then, a mysterious event took place. Within a few generations, the land was broken and the skies darkened. More than a thousand years of decline has passed since then.

As a young boy, you came upon the base of an immense Tower, uncovered by yet another violent earthquake. Deep below sleeps an ancient power. Since that day, you have been drawn inexorably to this place. Your task is to lead a group of champions and reach whatever resides in the depths of the Tower. There you will face the ultimate choice…
