Tower of Time

I'm also playing Dishonored 2 at the same time. I really liked this game, but I'm trying to see if by alternating between playing two games I keep getting motivated by the two at the same time.

Also, I don't really know what Tower of Time is. I know I bought it on Steam one day, so I think at some point I thought I would like it, but now I forgot what it was about. I'm about to discover it.

Ok, so we jump right into the menu. First, I dislike games that use other games as an ad platform. I haven't even started playing this game, I'm already being spammed with an ad to move to another game. Not a great start.

Going to start in hard mode. Nothing like low level hell to really understand the mechanics.

Ok, first impression is that it a simple game. No voice over, simple (yet effective) graphics, the use of the green / blue / purple coloring. Talks about endless dungeon, a visual identity that seem to mention generative dungeons... Ok, that might be good.

So, the first thing that is confusing me is that there doesn't seem to be a way to rotate the camera. I'm surprised, I'm used to some freedom in the way I see the environment, but ok.

Ok, so there seem to be an exploration part and a fight part.

Wow, some game really have very long tutorials to explain you every single bit of info. This one seems to just throw you in the middle of it and have you expect to understand.

Ok, there has been a tutorial. I won. It was tight, but I liked it. There still has some things I didn't get.

Fights are interesting, each enemy seems to have it's own puzzle to solve. Some are slow, some drain life, etc. Fights are hard, I like that. I am still looking for a place where I could "farm" to get better loot.

I ended up losing against the first boss. I barely had enough juice to get it to 35% HP but the adds he keeps invoking where too much, I barely had enough time to kill them before he re-invoked more. So I ended up spending my money to upgrade the level of my champions, and I'll give it another go later.
