Genre-blending is one of the things I appreciate most in
the indie space, at least when it is well-executed. In the RPG space there have
been multiple takes on turn-based tactical action, many with traditional
strictly-defined grid and some allowing for more freeform movement around the
field. I’m not sure any have set themselves up quite like Tower of Time though,
taking on more of a straight-up RTS feel in many ways. If you’re a strategy fan
this will likely be a huge win, and an opportunity to enjoy a better story and
general structure than you’d normally get. If you’re an RPG fan hopefully you’ll
like taking combat elements that can often feel stale and overdone and replace
them with something that should provide a new challenge. Throw in some
well-defined characters, ample rewards for taking the time to wander around an
explore, and some challenging battles as you try to optimize your skills against
varied foes, and it is a package with its own distinct flavor, trying to set
itself apart from its competition… and finding success for better or worse
depending on how traditional your tastes may be.
