If your bank account is looking a bit poorly after the holidays, you’ve still got the chance to pick up some new games. GOG is getting in on the free game action today, offering Tower of Time for zero monies as part of its Winter Sale Finale, which is going on now.
Tower of Time. A new kind of RPG awaits you. A story-rich dungeon crawler with innovative real-time combat that lets you pause or slow time. Tactical thinking is essential to succeed. Now with RPGlite and Permadeath for fast-paced game.
You may have missed Tower of Time when it came out last year – I know I did. But it’s certainly worth an install: it features some classically-styled party-based RPG action and a unique real-time combat system it calls ‘Arrow Time.’
Each combat encounter in Tower of Time is its own tactical puzzle, and the difficulty ramps up considerably on higher difficulties. You can build your characters out how you see fit, but you’ll need to find synergies between your party members if you’re going to survive the increased challenge.
All that is wrapped in a party-based action RPG that reminds me of the good old days of the original Dungeon Siege and Torchlight, with maybe a dash of Baldur’s Gate mixed in for good measure.

Tower of Time is a fantasy role-playing game released for PC, AND and iOS. This is a debut project of Event Horizon. PlotTower of Time is set in a fantasy realm that’s standing on a brink of annihilation. For a long time, this world has been slowly decaying; with each passing year the population of intelligent races has been becoming smaller and smaller as their territories were shrinking.
You play as a warrior, who, when still a child, discovered a mysterious tower buried under the ground. Now a grown-up man, he understood that the inside of the tower might hold a key to preventing the apocalypse. Therefore, he gathers a party and sets out on a quest, which is this world’s last hope. MechanicsReleased for PC, AND and iOS, Tower of Time follows the paths long paved by many previous PC RPGs. Gameplay comes down to exploration of the in-game world, completing quests, fighting and developing statistics of your heroes.
In the game you take command of a team of adventurers, whom you control from top-down perspective. Each character is described by four parameters (strength, speed, magic power and vitality) and represents one of seven classes.
Combat is based in real-time. In order for the players to control the chaos of battle more easily, the game offers an option to briefly slow time down, which lets you give out orders without too much hurry. This is very useful, because characters have a wide array of attacks and special abilities at their disposal, many of which can influence the environment.During the campaign you have to traverse thirteen floors of the tower, which amounts to about 20-30 hours of gameplay. In between missions, you regularly visit a local town in order to regain strengths and replenish supplies and equipment. Some buildings in the town can be upgraded, which unlocks new gear and abilities. The developers also remembered to include a crafting system.
