GOG.com Winter Sale Finale Gets You Tower of Time For Free, Tons Of Deals

by Rainier on Dec. 30, 2019 @ 10:35 a.m. PST

Tower of Time is an ambitious tactical RPG aimed at introducing innovative elements to the classic combat RPG.

Designed to offer RPG-lovers new levels of depth and tactical choice, Tower of Time features over 30 hours of story-based gameplay that harks back to CRPG classics such as Baldur’s Gate and the Might and Magic series. 

Set in a faraway land, players must guide their party of multi-skilled warriors and mages through 11 levels of the mysterious Tower of Time. Beginning with two party members, Kane, the Shieldguard and Maeve, the Marksman, players build their roster as the game progresses. Class-based characters include classics such as the Dwarven Runelord and Elven Druid, as well as original concepts like the Shadow Mystic and Frostling Blademaster.

Tower of Time’s most significant innovation is its Arrow -Time combat system which is a version of Bullet-Time for CRPG’s. It allows players to slow down combat or even pause it completely, enabling true strategic development as the battle unfolds. Heavily armoured fighters can be sent to the front line with enchanted weapons, while ranged-based characters can stay at the back dealing out salvos of deadly fire arrows or life-saving healing spells.

Tower of Time’s characters each has unique skills and attributes that can be levelled up as the game progresses. Players can deploy a mix of up to four class-specific offensive and defensive spells including magical health totems, stone walls to block ranged attackers, weapon enchantments and the ability to summon an all-powerful golem. Some skills can even be drawn using on-screen gestures. Character skill trees present players with over 500 possible options to create thousands of unique combinations to suit every individual style of play.
