    As a Genshin Impact player, I think these two games are different. Tof is more like a MMORPG game which allows me to throw a party in the game. It was fun to see random people running around in the world and made me less lonely to play the game. When I played Genshin Impact, I could only get to play with my friend after level 16. It was such a tough journey playing alone. Thanks Tof! WhenAs a Genshin Impact player, I think these two games are different.

When you could have both, why don't you need to make a choice? Though the game still have some room for improvement, I am looking forward to the next update!!!… Expand

    Indeed, the game needs polishing. But its character customization system has so much potential. With more outfits, you can enjoy yourself in the anime world. The combat system is good but more mechanics could be added in future. Hope the dev team listen to the community and keeps improving Tower of Fantasy. Looking forward to the end game!

    remarkable game for its character customization, good to play with others together even with some bugs to fix, the game itself is recommended.

    I’m already a fan of open world mmorpg so ToF definitely cater to my taste, team up with my bros to explore the world is most fun

    Creo que este juego va a perdurar por su contenido que va dirijido a los jugadores, es un muy buen punto a favor, en comparación a Genshin Impact, desde la creación del personaje, historia, el MMO y el RPG, el gameplay es bueno, las armas y los personajes. Tiene de todo un poco, claro que se pudiera decir que es una copia de Genshin, pero mejorado.

    I really like how you can use other character's abilities on your character and still keep your chosen look, and you can change the attack methods by switching different weapons.

I got a SSR bow from the very large amount of premium gacha currency the game awards you for being in the game early. The bow is very fun and fluid to use. The game runs at around 120 fps at all times. Did I say the voice acting is bad? Because it is pretty bad.

    The game is not a Genshin Impact clone. It is Sci-Fi, and an MMORPG, neither of which Genshin Impact is, making it entirely different by main and sub-genre. It slightly borrows from Genshin Impacts world design. I would argue it is much more similiar to PSO2NG in just about every way. The ways that ToF is similiar with Genshin Impact, Genshin is the winner in nearly every category, and not by a small amount. But there is a place for both games and the amount of hate towards ToF is honestly petty and immature. The MMO aspect of Tower of Fantasy will attract a lot of people that wished Genshin Impact had a better online aspect, at the cost of some polish and overall quality.    … Expand

    ITS A GOOD GAME, most of people are saying its Genshin Clone. but you have to admit, there are a lot of elements in this game are innovative. like Anime Customization system, and MMO Open world. I'm really enjoying it!

    Magnificent game, with all the content that was missing in other games that were also derived from Zelda. Character Creation (with Human Skin Colors), Real MMO, Mounts, Chat, Quality of Life.

    Everything in this game represents freshness.

    Tower of Fantasy has a brilliant character creator. It’s a big plus. You’re able to create your own unique anime character with a large suite of options.
    And.. if I remember Genshin was not so generous about rewards when starting the game.
    So I'm keeping an eye on it. Let's see what will come of it. Since it's F2P, you have nothing to lose) TOF is definitely worth a try.

    Combat is hack an slash, elemental based, and weapon/stance swamping heavy. It can be used in a complex manner, however at level 30 there has nt been enemies that provide any challenge (like most mmos i hope/assume difficulty will increase at cap).

    If you liked that Genshin was an anime ripoff of BoTW, but didn't think it leaned heavily enough into mmos give Tower of fantasy a shot. Its like coke and pepsi, different versions of the same flavour    … Expand

    It's good to have Open world MMORPG game combination like this one, overall features are so great for experience. But some part of server optimized need to improve to make it more friendly to MMO users in MMO features like world boss hunting. and some bugs that need still to improvement. i heard that 2.0 version will be great optimized than this current one. so i can't wait for that.

    Decent game to have fun with. People claim its a Genshin clone but I'd rather say its a open world Honkai instead. If you do want to comare it to Genshin at least here the Gatcha is much more generous (F2p playing since day1 and already have pulled 11 SSR units +1 from the starting box for new players)

    Tower of Fantasy is, at this point, an anomaly among its peers. Beyond its perfectly average music, Hotta Studio keeps steering the game in such bizarre directions that it’s hard to tell whether it’s intentional design or the result of consulting a Magic 8 Ball. And even with the Warp Server, it’s still unmistakably Tower of Fantasy: a janky, charming, and fighting an uphill battle to reinvent itself after years of decline.

    So: Do I recommend it? If you like games with anime looks, and you feel like the popular MMOs today are just too clunky for your taste, Tower of Fantasy looks to be a solid option. It’s kind of rough around the edges, but more than makes up for that with the fun factor and potential for long term playability. Perhaps not for everyone, but it is a surprisingly good entry into the F2P MMO space, especially among those with a mobile version.
