Tower of Fantasy Reviews

Let me just start by saying I’m a day one global player ,whose about ready to quit I like the game it’s just the gacha is beyond any that I’ve played before, gear ,stats, rng on top of rng to any new player wishing to start don’t it is not worth the time ,an example of this is grinding for stats I ,we meaning the community have been getting such low scale gear and stats it’s like the game stopped even caring about even throwing a little crump , even buying gear trying to get higher stat’s doesn’t work not only because of rng but because it’s seems developers have forgotten about stats that are needed to partake in some events that are maxed so high it’s not worth the try. Feel free to play the game, it can be fun but you will understand what I mean by low stats, unfair leveling enemy design, levels that are resistant to every element even going up to 80% resist, enemies with iframes that can’t be-halted but u can. The game is starting to lack appeal and balance game play , can’t wait till 2.4 maybe they will nerf more characters and give us harder enemies that 4 to 5 high damage players can’t even beat. Besides the sarcasm go play something that rewards you instead of kicking you for loyalty ,money and dedication. Level 5 is just not it on the global side.

Response to developer response:
I find it odd you haven’t responded to my in game ticket I made but your presence in the response to the review is unavoidable. I have no faith in your customer service process as I have been ignored. This led to most of my disinterest in the game. Stop spending time here and actually respond to the tickets. My ticket still hasn’t been responded to and I will update my review if they ever do make it right. Until then I’m sure this game isn’t what I originally thought it was and I don’t even enjoy it as much knowing I could spend money and have an issue that gets ignored in game support tickets but I have to write a review that gets a response

Vera update: Went to see the new outfits and after trying them on my skin color changed. Tried to change it back and it costs 100 dark crystals. Not even going to bother reaching out to customer support. I used to LOVE this game but it has eroded horribly and the updates constantly mess up stuff that costs money. My crew got deleted randomly one day not by me it just wasn’t there. I spent real money on dark crystals and used some to start a crew. I reached out to customer service and they never responded. It’s been MONTHS as it happened early on in my game and I’ve been playing since release. Now I just login and do daily’s but I can’t feel the same connection knowing issues won’t be addressed ESPECIALLY as a paying customer it’s a huge red flag. Beware

The game is basically genshin impact but feels less polished. I ran into so many bug or errors. I have fell through the map like 5 times. Game has crashed probably about 10 times or more one time I was in a boss fight had to redo that area. Action doesn’t feel as good as genshin. I can’t even find something to compliment them about cause so many games do it better. It’s pretty much a dead game In china from what I heard and from my 7hours of playing more negative than positive. Combat is pretty flat. Voice acting is subpar. Character model honestly are bad they’re so basic when you really come and compare other mobile game characters even raid shadow legend has better character and that game is god awful! The enemies are just not inspiring. Climbing a rock I fell through the map flying the jet when dashing down to the ground fell through the map. Game was not ready for a release in us buggy game and just not polished should not be praised. Last game that was this unpleasant and unpolished was cyberpunk 2077. Awful game. IF YOUR GAME IS CRASHING THEN IT WASNT READY. Where are the bug tester this should have been a easy fix sad the game industry has people like this making games. Don’t even get me started with there plagiarism scandal they had! Yes you heard me right.. unoriginal garbage! Hope this game dies fast!

If you wanna pick a server. i suggest looking it up online or joining the streamer server Solaris. All the small server which is 2/3 of them have a queue time not to enter them but to play the multiplayer modes and even some solo modes like bygone. I know the company doesn’t express themself much but hopefully this gets fixed and the servers affected by it in a prolonged period of time get some compensation. 400 DC minimum please we legit can’t play the game without spending time waiting and the queues are 30+ min most of the time. It this point it’s better to queue solo than with ransoms because if just one leave well you also leave the queue so you just wasted 20 minutes of time. Might as well be an rpg and not include mmo at this point. Ok enough of my rant this really needs fix thoughz I love the game I recommend playing it but like I said join a popular server. Luckily my Smurf that I play with my friends on Solaris isn’t experiencing this so I am able to enjoy still using my vitality in important areas i that than beacons because those have no queues. Please fix this dev team I am rooting for you and give us some goodies because this is really bad and it’s driving people away from playing the game.

First of all, just like in my other reviews, I’m going to try and make this as short as possible and simply explain that this game, like many of the other recent, massive, open-world games, is absolutely brilliant, but Towers of Fantasy, nonetheless boasts its pros and cons. First of all, 12 gb of storage demand should be the first evidential warning that signifies how Tower of Fantasy will encounter lag, crashing, and loading issues, not because the game isn’t developed properly, but because mobile devices can NOT manipulate the thousands of assets in a game like this alongside explicit graphics and dialogue without hiccups because mobile devices aren’t developed like PCs where you have several intricate processors and gizmos dedicated to carrying out hundreds of thousands of different assets at once. In fact, just because Tower of Fantasy runs on mobile doesn’t mean it will always WORK on mobile and I’ve tested this game on both my iPad Pro and iPhone 13 to prove it; both of those devices have over 100 gb of free space left and after playing Tower of Fantasy on mobile and on my PC, the sheer # of crashes and failures on mobile vs the seamless gameplay on pc obviously clarified the issue. That being stated, Tower of Fantasy is absolutely impressive and definitely worth playing, but evidently, with all its demands, best suited to the realm of pc gaming rather than mobile.

It’s a good game I’ll give you that. It’s a bit choppy but most people can overlook that. Something not a lot of people can overlook is how vastly similar it is to Genshin Impact. Even some people that were promoting it constantly compared it to Genshin Impact. It’s just too alike. It has some unique features like character customization and weapon switching along with a mount. But it’s just too similar. Even the opening cutscene is like Genshin Impacts. Big trouble, needs to split up, and slow motion while you choose not only the male or female, but the name too. I haven’t played the full game yet but I’m about 30 minutes in and there’s just too many similarities. Even the item pick up and search buttons are roughly the same. Like the subtitles were bad enough when they didn’t match up to what the voices were saying but to make their area similar to Genshin? Come on. Even the Gacha grabs are overly stupid. The elements? Yeah there are less than Genshin but the way you made them is not unique. Potential spoiler alert too, judging from the opening cutscene, I feel like the person you don’t judge is gonna appear to be brain washed and seem evil, just like Genshin Impact. In conclusion, it’s a decent game, just too much like Genshin Impact

I feel like the game is dying already. There is too much for too little. If you’re a F2P player, you’ll grind tediously for little rewards. What is the point of having multiples SSR if leveling them up is a hazzle, since the lack of items is abysmal unless you pay real money. Why does every weapon need the same 2 times to level up instead of having unique items dropped by enemies like in Genshin Impact? I don’t even know what is the level cap of weapons in the game, as I, currently, got a few weapons on level 100+ but the more you level them up, the more you need. Another thing is the vitality. There is too much to spend it on & the rewards feel lackluster. In the server I’m in, nobody plays void rifts or frontier clash anymore, & I’m not changing servers because I don’t start from zero again. Also, the mini bosses in Vera are way too strong. Some one-shot you & there hit-boxes are unfair. This game desperately need a makeover, in the systems, gameplay, graphics. I had high hopes for this game, believing that it would surpass Genshin Impact, but at the rate the game is going, I hardly believe it anymore.

I’m normally not one to make reviews for games, but I feel this one needs it. Overall, the TOF isn’t a bad game, the character customization isn’t bad, it runs fairly smooth, and it’s visually appealing. However, there’s issues with certain aspects of the game.
1. Characters in or out of cutscenes failing to say their full audio lines before saying their next line.
2. Character subtitles not lining up with what characters are saying
3. Characters clipping through themselves or other textures within cutscenes.
The list goes on. I also feel as though the story is a bit fast pace and doesn’t give you enough time or information to get to know the characters you meet (only made it to around LVL 12, so maybe I didn’t play long enough). There’s a lot of running back and forth as well as fetch quest, but that could be because I didn’t see enough of the game due to how long I played. There’s a lot of potential within this game, but there’s also a large amount of work to be done before it can compete with games of a similar genre. I’ll definitely be following its progress and hope to see it do well as time moves forward.

For me coming from genshin, I don’t think it is going to overtake genshin. The characters aren’t loving and as rememberable as genshin’s characters. The fighting system to me is clunky and could use some work. It just feels like I’m spamming buttons and then switching to a different weapon and doing the same thing. I don’t know what i’m doing. Ive played honkai like 2 or 3 times and I can tell you Honkai’s fighting is more smooth and satisfying than tof. If they should make changes it would probably add reactions whether weapon reactions like shatter or elemental reactions. Or maybe add combos, like there higher the your combo the higher the damage multiplier However a thing that this game does good is the gacha system and its generous free pulls. I got 3 SSR’s in 2 days. The story isn’t bad but it’s not as good as genshins. World exploration is kind of a pain especially since their aren’t enough teleport waypoints. Its also kind of annoying how all the chests are like high up and it forces you to use your jetpack and like the cooldown is like 90 something seconds. The stamina system is not bad but could be way better as climbing 2 feet uses all of your stamina. The energy system is confusing. For genshin, resin is simple, you what to spend your resin on. For tof I don’t know what to use my energy for cause they just shove everything in your face all at once.

Glad that there’s controller support from the start but it does need refinement and polish in some areas. So please take in these suggestions
1. Include the option to invert camera controls in the settings. (It be great to invert the y-axis.)
2. I believe the confirm button when pressed creates multiple inputs, this can unintentionally skip dialogue near the end of cutscenes.
3. Allow us to change the button layout on the controller.
4. Show what buttons are assigned to what action on the UI. You have the icons of the actions during normal gameplay so include the buttons for them too.
5. When aiming down on bows, guns and other weapons that can aim down sights, have the fire button on the right trigger. Using the face button to fire while using the right control stick to aim is incredibly cumbersome and honestly terrible.
6. There is no way to switch targets using the controller when locked on to enemies. This makes attacking other enemies harder or virtually impossible since you attack in the direction of what your forced to be locked on to. The Left Button (LB) would a good button to assign Lock On to and then using the right stick to change between targets. Or simply have a soft lock on like Genshin Impact.

I hope you guys read this and take these suggestions to heart. I like the game these suggestion can only improve the experience to everyone!

Another welcome addition to the open world MMO genre. The storyline and characters are unique, and there are lots of fun ways to get around the beautiful landscape, such as jetpacks or surfing along the water. The character customization is pretty good too, though there is a small lack of skintones and hairstyles. It runs very smoothly for me, with the exceptions of random crashing, especially when I open the achievements menu. Though, this game is newly released, so I’m sure that the constant crashing and kicking from servers will be fixed soon enough. I also like how generous the game is with giving you freebies, and the gacha system. Also, the daily level cap makes it easier to pace yourself rather than binge the whole game, which some do not like, but I do since I tend to lose track of time gaming if I am not interrupted. Cannot wait to see how the game progresses. (PS: This is glades server propaganda. Join glades server. Glades server supremacy.)

Positive part of my review: the game has incredibly graphics fun characters and cools and entertaining weapons and attacks. Not to mention the breathtaking design or scenery.

Other part of my review: Here’s the gist of it, I open the game,I log in, I click to go into my backpack, TowerofFantasy crashes and closes. Thank you for watching my Ted talk.
No but seriously the game is fire but it’s so fire
that my iPhone X cannot handle 2 minutes of it. I’ve tried everything(obviously I have probably misses something). I deleted and redownloaded my game 4 times. I even restarted my phone and yes this may sound desperate but I deleted every other app. I have cleared the cache so many times. I have forced closed the game and heck, I’ve restarted my phone at least 12 times. I can’t even have the satisfaction of getting dailies anymore because the moment I try to click it the game cancels me and sends me back to my home page. I’m starting to think it’s personal. Please tell me what to do. I don’t even know anymore. My phone is very new and only has 3 other apps that I installed on it all under 4 gigabytes. The game used to run so well on my phone but then something changed. Anyway thank you.

I love this game. The characters, the art style, the aesthetic, everything! However, I literally just lost ALL of my progress out of nowhere just 2 minutes ago.. Be careful!
Update: I am getting this game again. I think it might’ve been because I forgot to log in. As a Genshin player, this game feels quite similar to Genshin, however it is not Genshin and I feel that it really shouldn’t be compared as such. It’s getting kind of annoying seeing everyone compare this game to it.
This is definitely meant to be more of a computer game rather than a mobile one, as the graphics are high and the world is huge, which a mobile device can only take so much of. The game does tend to crash, however it doesn’t hinder it unplayable.
This game feels genuinely free to play, and the mechanics are quite easy to learn and get the hang of, despite it being kind of clunky. It’s not hard to unlock characters and it isn’t hard to obtain gachapon currency. The characters aren’t super rememberable, however that’s not the case for me because I had a hyperfixation with this game and I know a lot of the characters by heart. It just depends on the person.
That’s pretty much all I have to say. I might add things later if my opinion changes after I’ve downloaded for a second try.

This game is honestly good BUT. Do not get this game on an IOS platform. It would be sooooo much better on PC. I say this because unless you are a masochist or a psychopath and are willing to put up with constant game crashes, the occasional T posing, lagging, and a broken leveling system all the way to level 45 ish; then just don’t bother 😅. I enjoy this game especially since it’s not a pay to play kind of game. You can do quite well in this game if you just play it and don’t spend any money on it. My absolute biggest gripe with this game is the crashing. My game crashes every single time
I play it sometimes even two or three times while I play the game. After about lvl45 ish you can’t really defeat enemies in domain 9. I find my self (currently at lvl47) constantly running from enemies because the game leveling system is very broken. Enemies go from lvl10 and lvl20 all the way to lvl45 in like 2 seconds. Pretty much as soon as you get to Domain 9 you might as well give up on fighting anything that doesn’t involve the main story. Vera and Asperia are still pretty easy since the enemies can be quite low in level and usually go down with a couple hits. Domain 9 on the other hand is a constant grind to get their health down just to survive or hopefully escape. Anyway that’s my review. Have fun and enjoy the game. Just don’t spend any money on it.

Overall there’s plenty to like here but let’s just address the elephant in the room right off the bat.. it’s almost the exact same game as Genshin. The combat is a little flashier but it’s also not as fluid and at times can be clunky. The graphics are a little better in places but I’m running this on an iPhone 13 pro max and have frame rate dips as well as stuttering on the UHD at 45 fps more often than I would like.
The Verdict -
While overall a really good game if you’ve already sunk hundreds of hours in Genshin then this will be like just starting over.. that being said, for those of you out there that have yet to play Genshin Impact then this game will definitely be a 5 star experience. Best advice I can give personally is to not worry too much about trying to spend a bunch of money on the gatcha. With unlimited rerolls do your homework, find out which of the summons you really want and re-roll till you get it. It takes about 15 mins (give or take) to re-roll so overall that’s not so bad. The only reason this didn’t get 5 stars from is because it’s basically the same game with a different look but that doesn’t mean it’s not a great game. Good luck all! 😊

I think this game is great! However one thing I’m noticing is a lot of people comparing it to Genshin Impact. While it does totally have similarities to it, the game also takes after a ton of other games as well! The fluttery music reminds me of Zelda, the technological/apocalyptic vibe reminds me of Borderlands! There are tons of games it takes after but it also is unique to itself in a few ways as well! Certain uses of weapons, the ability to have your own character AND even characters unique to the story. So while it’s totally like Genshin in a lot of ways, it compares to other games as well :) To address why I only gave 4 stars, for obvious reasons the game is glitchy, choppy & slow. It just came out! I hope this will be fixed in the future, however I’m unsure how much they will be able to, bc like I’ve seen others say, this type of game isn’t meant to run on mobile. If you download, make sure to free up a TON of space to help it run. Otherwise, I like it a lot! I really hope to see improvements and more to the story in the future :)

So far when viewing most of these reviews I kept seeing how everyone believed that this was a Genshin Impact rip-off which I think is quite bias (and I myself have played Genshin Impact before and loved it but I stopped playing it since it had the powers of the gods and I did not enjoy that). While looking for a game similar to Genshin Impact but also different this was the game but in sci-fi and I quite enjoyed it. I was reminded as a writer that just because it seems the same doesn’t mean it is. It goes the same with writing stories and drawing while using inspiration instead of copying the artist which I can fully comprehend. The game has a few glitches during combat and bugs during cutscenes and fighting scenes and could be quite time consuming with waiting for the cooldown jetpack when climbing but that’s how most games are so overall this still great game! It has an interesting story, characters, map, and I liked the fact that I can make my own character when considering that in most games you can’t change the skin tone or looks of that character. So overall I see a lot of potential in this game and can’t wait for more updates!

For the most love the ppl always complain about the and compare it to Genshin saying it’s not as good I say they’re right it’s better. Most of the characters I love or want atm and can’t wait to get. Character customization is great already I think hope there’s some updates on it to be greater. The only thing that bothers me is that global got some censored stuff like sherli her original design fits nemesis a lot better but the new design is almost like it’s different person altogether or based off of different person. Don’t know y there’s censorship at all considering the first outfit from pass is quite showy for ur avatar. So would definitely prefer these censorships removed or a way to remove in settings. Also it can be quite laggy even all of the sudden even the server is supposedly smooth. Other than these few things think the game is great as mentioned earlier and top of that getting a variety of weapons is awesome. Hope it has a bright future

Tower of fantasy is *chefs kiss* AMAZING! Many people are complaining that it's too similar to Genshin impact. While yes, it is EXTREMELY similar, there are things in the game that just go above and beyond Genshin.
First of all, I've always dreamed of an anime MMORPG/RPG that had character customization. And the character customization in this game is next level- from outfit design to the tip of your character's bangs, it is gorgeous. (I love the Genshin presets- LOL!)
The gatcha system is also really stable and the pity system is very simple. It really makes getting the characters that you want EASY!
While there are some glitches, I need to talk about the absolutely BEAUTIFUL open world! As a Genshin and BoTW player, I find this a close second to those. I've played many adventure games, but this one hits hard. It almost climbed to the top of my open-world games list, up there with BoTW and GI.
For those wanting to try ToF, I definitely recommend at least giving it a chance. It is a beautiful game, and it's perfect for those who want an escape from reality.

Real quickly, to all the reviewers who left one stars saying it was under maintenance, there’s a pop up that you see when you enter the game saying that the reason you could download it early was so players could get a head start, and download before the game releases to actually get in the action faster.

Now that TOF is actually released, I would like to say it’s really fun so far. While it may be a bit hard to find an available server, it doesn’t take too long. The gameplay is enjoyable, has great graphics, and I love the character customization! Usually, I put down these types of games because I don’t really like the quality, since I’m used to Genshin Impact level graphics. However, it’s like the graphic quality and those games combined. I personally like this game A LOT better than Genshin Impact.

And I’m not really sure what else to say. I honestly expected this game to not be that good, but it received a lot of hype so I thought I should check it out. I’m glad I did.

I love basically everything about this game. People will obviously always compare this to genshin but I find this is able to stand on its own two feet without being compared. I really only have a few small issues I found with the game. The chat box is right underneath where your joystick is on the screen so you end up hitting it sometimes on accident in the middle of doing some thing you don’t need to pull the menu up during. The others are a lack of solid team matching (hard to auto match with people to help with harder missions) would be nice to be able to spawn with others same level/same mission. Also the updates are quite frequent (every other day it seems) and if your internet is on the slower side it can take up to 4 or 5 hours to update each time. It’s a huge game though, I understand and appreciate devs working hard to fix things in the updates. I will continue to spend money and support this game ❤️

I really like the game. It has been fun and I've spent countless hours playing it. The idea about the simulacra stuff is pretty cool, its not like genshin where you have to try and pull characters AND weapons, they are all in one you could say. And the pull rates are really great too, on my first day of playing I got all of the SRs and 4 SSRs. Though what I'm sad about is there aren't many weapons, though they will probably add more so I wont hate on them about that. I also like how you can genuinely play free to play. I haven't spent a single penny and I've gotten amazingly good stuff. I also really like the story, it is amazing with lovable characters ( especially Mi-a :] )and some nice lore.
I really love the combat system too and how cool the chains are. I also like how there is so much to explore and so many rewards you can get doing it, it makes me really want to explore forever. I also really love the online features in this game. I have met so many friends playing.

But overall I would say this is one of my favourites, no, my favourite mobile game.
keep up the good work devs :)

I’ve been playing this game for a little over a year, and I haven’t put it down since. I love how there is the option to travel between different worlds, so there is always a variety of different gameplay to choose from. I usually get bored of games quickly, but I’ll never get tired of this one. The characters are so beautiful and I’m obsessed with collecting as many as I can. My only complain would be that the gacha part of the game is a little tiring. In-game items are so expensive, especially when buying the currency used for gacha pulls. There aren’t enough collectible resources in-game either. Dark crystals used to be easier to earn, as you could easily find them in supply pods or as exploration rewards. But now, they’ve removed DCs from pods, and the number of dark crystals you get from exploring maps has significantly lessened. It used to be at least 300 DC for reaching a certain amount of exploration points in a specific area. Now it’s been lessened to around 75, and it’s harder to gain ex points, since the points are now locked behind timed puzzles that take a team to defeat. They do give you free DC with bug fixes, but only enough to buy 2 nucleus (gacha pull tickets). I love this game, but I wish they would make it a little more accessible for F2P/light spenders.

I love this game so much. I have played it for so long now and just got to level 71 a couple days ago. This game is very interactive especially in mirroria. Everything is so beautiful in this game and I always look for games that are like this and surprisingly there really aren’t that many for people that play on mobile like me. I love open world games and it’s even better when it has amazing graphics. I especially love the voice acting and how your character that u create also has a voice as well. I also love that this game has detailed customization. It allows u to be creative and express yourself. A lot of people compare this to genshin. I honestly don’t think u should compare this game to it. This game is like sci fi and genshin isn’t sci fi at all. I’ve played genshin and quit twice. First time I lost all my progress and didn’t bother tryna play it all again. Then I waited for a while and decided to play it again then I quit. Then I came back to this game. Now I’m gonna play this game till the very end.

This game is amazingly polished and fun right from the get-go. My only criticism is kind of a nitpicky point, but for some reason, in the English language, setting, none of the voice actors seem to be able to properly pronounce the word “simulacrum”. Fyi it’s “SIM-you-LOCK-rum”. Not “suh-LAY-ah-crumb.” Or any of the other mispronounced iterations of the word. It happens to be a word that is used a lot in this game, so it is strange how every character miss-pronounces the word in a different way. Seriously, though, other than that, I am having a blast. It is definitely a “gacha” game, in that you are constantly earning little orbs that allow you to roll for New weapons or new characters (those are the simulacra— BTW, that is the plural of simulacrum.) I have been getting all sorts of trading good”, new characters, weapons, and there is so much to do. It’s easy to get lost, just grinding or playing around in the open world and forget the main objective or the main story. That is always a good thing in an open world game. Lastly, although the games structure is completely different, I understand the comparisons to Genshin impact. In some of the core gameplay, they can feel a bit similar. Although I actually think it is more reminiscent of Honkai impact.

Coming from an endgame genshin player, when tower of fantasy came out I really did expect a rip off of Genshin Impact. However I was disproven. Instead I fell in love with the game and practically dropped genshin, what most players don’t understand is that there’s more than one RPG game (other than genshin). And I am forced to admit I was within that bubble before I tried out tower of fantasy. I like the combat system, I love the characters, and I am in love with the map. I enjoy the idea of an open map with its many other additions like running into people and hunting down bosses. Tower of fantasy takes a lot of teamwork and that’s what I like about it, I’ve made quite good friends so far and have enjoyed every minute of gameplay. Tower of fantasy isn’t stingy with in-game currency. There’s bugs like all games but those can be fixed with time. I am excited to see where this game goes, I’m now nearing lvl 50, and the game is well worth your while. I would recommend anyone to try it, it has not fried my phone unlike other users complaints. And it’s not that glitchy, though when all players are spamming bursts (roughly 8 players at a time) then yeah, it gets hectic. Tower of fantasy is my new favorite game, I hope others check it out because it really does take the cake for me. :)

This game is absolutely beautiful, the world is massive, the environment is extremely thoughtful, it executes a fresh sort of Borderlands dystopian vibe mixed in the Genshin formula, the dialogue is often clever, the pulls are fair, the PC client is very acceptable, and overall its 2nd to one. Read that again, 2nd to ONE lol.

We know there is a wave of developers coming to take a stab at the Genshin formula. Yea, I’m looking at you ToF, Noah’s Heart, Legend of Neverland. The bottom line is no one will be able to use that formula better than Genshin. It’s like the Krabby Patty recipe and MiHoYo is Mr. Krabs.

Is this a good game to invest time in and explore? Without a doubt. Is this game worth a long term investment compared to the current front runner? That’s ultimately up to you, but I would say no. What I mean by this is, I would stake my long term progression and bigger purchased pulls on Genshin. I’ll still run ToF up to the daily level caps, enjoy the world, and casually get some pulls here and there. But, in the end, the king/queen of the genre still wears the crown.
