Is Tower of Time like Dragon Age: The Veilguard? Alternatives worth checking!

"Finished 'Dragon Age: The Veilguard' and looking for similar games? Discover the best titles that will keep you immersed in the atmosphere of this adventure!" The above is the first paragraph of the article (link below) with a list of interesting alternatives to 'Dragon Age: The Veilguard'. "The dust after the premiere of 'Dragon Age: The Veilguard' has settled. Some players were delighted with BioWare's return, while others complain about a few more or less unnecessary elements. However, there is no denying that the game aroused great interest and showed that classic RPGs are still desired by players." https://store.steampowered.com/app/617480/Tower_of_Time/ So, why do we even mention that? The author of the article says (about Tower of Time): "In the texts from this series, I always try to propose something unusual to broaden your horizons. This time it is a slightly older, Polish production. For Event Horizon studio, however, it was a dream debut. The game ('Tower of Time') was warmly received and gained a group of fans. The domestic developer rose to the occasion with an interesting plot. The real-time combat system, in which a tactical approach and good use of spells play an important role, was also very well received. In many respects, there are similarities to 'Dragon Age', even if 'Tower of Time' has a lot of elements borrowed from dungeon crawlers. So I think it's worth considering this option, especially since the other games described in the text are well known and many fans of the genre probably already have them played."

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…
