    A really good free-to-play open world game that’s easy to recommend to solo players or groups of friends.

    Unlike other PC-Mobile cross platform games out there, Tower of Fantasy successfully captured the essence of open world MMORPG, including raids and instance dungeons with other players. However, there were some points need to be improved such as awkward hit satisfaction, stories with unexpected moves and unintuitive content composition.

    A new rival in the Gacha market has arrived: Tower of Fantasy, a game with an outstanding art direction and a dynamic battle system. The rewards are plentiful for the player, however, progression is limited at the game convenience. Tower of Fantasy has the potential to be a good rival if it is constantly updated with new content, performance is fixed, and progression overhauled.

    Tower of Fantasy has a lot to offer, but it does push the player to spend money rather than grind their way towards success. A 'Genshin Impact killer' this is not.

    From the constant localization mishaps to the design feeling like a copycat, I was constantly left with the urge to just drop the game and play something else, as it had failed to keep me engaged for more than a couple of minutes every time. Further, as much as I tried, I just couldn’t stop comparing it to Genshin Impact, which harms the identity it’s trying to pass as. And only time will tell if this will ever change in the future.

    Tower of Fantasy has some strengths and several annoyances. Its attractive world is populated by a generic story and forgettable NPCs. Its exciting combat is hampered by time-gated exploration and an overly complex, fussy gacha system. For fans of the Asian MMO genre or recent converts to Genshin Impact, the game might be worth checking out. I don’t think Tower of Fantasy is a good introduction to gacha games, and there are generally lots of better MMORPGs to invest your time in.

    Adventuring through the land is so limp and lifeless, with features pulled from Genshin or Breath of the Wild, or whatever other game it decided to do slightly worse, that it becomes a homogenous, grotesque blob. Tower of Fantasy is a complete failure in almost every aspect.

    There are obviously more bugs and little improvements.

    1. The character sharing and importing was a fantastic experience during the original OBT but it is now broken miserably…
    2. I see many people complaining about the time gate, it’s definitely worse than the original OBT. (During the Chinese release, I didn’t face any lootbox time gate until entering the third major region. The level limitation was there since day one starting from around lv20/30 ish I couldn’t remember)
    3. Many parts aren’t localized well (EN). The lab reports are not aligned well and look confusing. Missing translations on some map/ui textures. Missing voice lines through the story.

    Both Perfect World and Tencent are notorious for leeching off money. From the design details, you can tell this game is mediocre compared to Genshin Impact in all aspects. In addition to the confusing currency tokens/points and colourful maze-like UI menus, they exploit the item rarity colour scheme too. Many golden looking legendary items are just trash fragments. And you will need stacks of them to make them useful. There are just countless different fragments you need to pay attention to.

    The action combat system is quite unique and works well in a multiplayer game. Kudos to that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Passion project dreadfully developed"

    Tower of Fantasy is an MMORPG game that emphasize its possesion of "high skill ceiling" combat mechanics and world building, although they did prove that two points on paper, some things is just not what it seems to be

    On the more general aspect of the game, ToF is really generous on distributing valuable currency and materials that allows people to progress further without spending money, it implements world bosses as something that players has to take down together at specific places, and the combat mechanics works as the game designer probably intends it to be, each battle feels fresh due to the sheer amount of moveset that can be combined, as a casual MMORPG player, you'll probably enjoy playing this game over "the other game", but not for those that seeks the story, the overall quality of the game itself is really subpar, choppy animations, poor cinematic direction and storywriting that somehow makes "the other game" **** storywriting looks good

    The direction this game is heading to is rather bleak, to put simply, the game fails to hype up its initial release on the first week, i dont feel the excitement while waiting for new story chapters to be unlocked, while exploration does feel exciting at first, it gets redundant really quick due to poor story components that would complement the exploration for the zone

    Take for example the world bosses, these are supposed to be a feature that holds a certain kind of lore and can be expanded into some sorta side quest, yet even on a couple of days the game released, players already raids the world boss on the second-last zone thanks to level auto-balancing, so not only the story is poorly written and presented, the exploration itself is disattatched from the story

    The game feels like something that one would play for a week or two then gets abandoned afterwards, it sacrifices so much just to build a combat system that is above average at best, even the kind gesture the global release devs give by granting numerous rewards feels like a way to compensate the flaws

    Regarding to pvp, i cant emphasize further on how terribly unbalanced pvp is, unlike other MMOs that usually give a certain nerf on characters for pvp use, the game instead puts every character on their prime state, meaning that characters that is conceptually strong for pvp dominates even further, nemesis is a really strong healer that also deals damage and interruption, samir is a dps that has infinite range VIA charged attack, and cocoritter basically turns you immortal and uninterruptable, mix that three units in your team and you simply just win the match by kiting your enemy in the most annoying way possible
