What people like
- Turn-based combat requires real strategy and memory
- Story writing and atmosphere are really good
- Art style looks great and unique
- Ads are not constantly interrupting gameplay
What they complain about
- Game won't load past the first screen
- Premium currency is very hard to earn
- Most content is locked behind paywalls
- Difficulty feels unfair and dependent on luck
Hands on
One of the few games where you can actually control your character and enjoy a text based game.
왜 겨울의 끝을 해야되냐
시발 보스 자가 재생 한 번이면 됐지 뭔 계속 쓰고 ㅈㄹ이야
Better than most slop
The game itself is above average. If i could give 3.5 I would. The things i i dislike are: you aren't told what "destiny" is, and the english is poorly translated. I understand and respect the decision to make a lot of the content paywalled. The game is well made. I would definetly pay money if there was more campaigns and replayability
광고가 안봐짐
광고가 안봐지네요, 다른앱은 다 되는데 이 엡만 안되는 것도, 광고가 이 게임만 이상하게 긴것도, 심지어는 힘들게 설정을 바꿔서 광고를 로딩해도 중간에 끊겨서 다시 게임이 멈추는 것도 다 문제에요. 데이터 사용해서 보고, 다른앱은 다 되는데 왜 이 앱만 안되는건지 모르겠네요.
Pay to win
More often than not once you hit the third area, you won’t get items that increase your traits so you are forced to either watch 2 ads or use gems. Also, the Almighty and Dimension Breaker are OP and even with a broken build they will kill you.
Tow
Great time sink. Impossible is… pretty close I think. Wouldn’t know, haven’t quite beaten it.
Good game gone bad
It has all the bones of a good game but difficulty setting is too high. There should also be more ability to adjust your character. The price for expansion is ridiculous.
Great but could be so much more
Great writing great atmosphere great gameplay but not enough rouge like aspect your really don’t progress much between runs and there to little content so it becomes very repetitive also could use an editor the writing is good but seems English may not be the writers first language
20$ for a character is crazy
Awesome game but asking for 20$ for 1 out of a dozen characters is nuts, I’d consider a 0.99 purchase or maybe all of them for 20, but if what you’re asking for is crazy Also ads are whack, you got an fun rougelite that I’d consider paying real money for but this F2P nonsense is garbage
Meh
Wish we could pick more free stuff
Very good!
Difficult, immersive and doesn’t block content. It’s better than nearly all other similar games. 9/10
.
Fight system is bulls*it
Classic
This game reminds me of the choose your own adventures stories I read as a kid. I love the added turn based fighting.
Good base premise, bad progression.
Other people have said it, but it’s real annoying having to pay to play any character other than the guy who likes having a massive defense. Speaking of that supposedly massive defense, one of the enemies can stun you for two turns and deal around half your hp in a single attack. He can also use the stun attack while you are stunned. This is on the guy who’s whole thing is defense, I wonder what it’d look like for another character.
Great but Lacking
The game is great, it just needs a better way to expand gameplay. You start with a free character and story but need to watch a ton of ads to earn a small amount of gems to unlock characters, gear and stories but you can’t earn them through gameplay. Need more of an incentive if I want to purchase more gems to keep playing.
Great game
Good job, it’s perfect. Most enjoyable game in the App Store.
Native English speakers must cost a lot of money
Can’t imagine any other reason why someone would release a text-based game in the US that is this poorly translated.
Decent Roguelike
Be aware, a lot of P2C. However, a couple weeks of playing daily ads in the background can get you most of the content you want for free.
Too monetized
It seems to be a simple roguelite game, with a little bit omnipresent as you go. But to get more than one character, you pay. To get more stages, you pay. You get that premium currency by paying or watching ads. You watch ads to try again. You watch ads to start a new run. Too many ads, not enough payoff.
Great Game, horrendous devs
The game is fun enough as it is, but practically everything is put behind a paywall (or a massive amount of ads), which makes it clear that the devs are practically angling with your money. The pricing isn’t exactly generous, either.
Love this game!
I’m one of those guys that downloads games, play a little, don’t like it , delete. But this game I am liking so much. It’s not a game where you just attack, attack & attack, you got to decide between using a skill or defend or attack based on what the enemy does. And also decide which traits you should choose. Each time I die and play again I try different strategies, choose different traits and based on what I learn or determine which strategy is best, I try again on the next run. Highly recommended!
Don’t Play This Game
Consider playing OTP Roguelikes instead, like Reign or Slay the Spire. There are much cheaper and better games, when considering the cost of in-app purchases in Tower of Winter to have different characters is very high. Why is Tower of Winter bad? Unlike other roguelikes, no amount of skill can offset the insane amount of RNG needed to get far in this game. At the lower difficulties (Very Hard, Extreme) you can still reasonably beat the game if you are smart and careful. However, once you go to the last two difficulties, winning completely dependent on luck.(what items you can get, critical hits from enemies, type of events). No matter how safe or smart you play, all the enemy needs to do is get 1 critical hit and you lose instantly. There’s nothing you can do to stop it. In summary, the game has severe balancing issues, and so many in-app purchases that you might as well just pay for a One-Time-Purchase game instead of this cash grab of an app.
Gems
Game is pretty good but y’all should add a way to earn more Gems or even daily events and more characters because after a while everything feels repetitive.also we should get a few gems after finishing the tower otherwise it’s pointless to keep playing
Bug
Vào game toàn bug, win chap 1 cũng ko thấy gì thêm
Dear Devs,
PLEASE give us some better way to earn gems I cannot stand how insanely hard it is to progress through this game without them and with only 1 free character and 1 free level… you get bored very quickly. The game is fun and they honestly have a great thing going. But give the F2P/F2C players something to work off of PLEASE!!!
Extremely fun
I’m enjoying the game far more than others of this variety. I played with the one character so far. But I’m looking forward to playing with others as time progresses. Thankyou so much for creating this game.
I never loads
If I could do zero I would no matter how good my Wi-Fi was I never got in a sever
Pretty good
It’s kinda like dnd but no dice. Only issue is the in game currency is hard to get
Paywalls for characters and stories
If you like one character and the same story its cool otherwise its your typical mobile game. Shame too because artwork is really good
I want to spend money on your game and I can’t
I was happy to pay for characters and buy gems or whatever, the app doesn’t let me. It’s saying “failed to connect”. I have the latest iPhone, it should work
Kaos
Good job Very fun Never the same run
No game balance
Badly balanced, enemies have broken mechanics and perma shield for no reason. Basically don’t download this game because nothing is balanced properly
Great game buuutttt
I love the game from its combat system to the art style but the problem is the gems the gems are the way to unlock characters and levels which is a problem because there are not a lot a ways to get them please change this soon
help
Game isn't loading through the first loading screen
Fun, but not quite there
The game is pretty fun and enjoyable, but the reliance on paid progression for everything but the barebones is a bit annoying. I also noticed that in order to forgo a reward, you first need to reroll, which is annoying. There are also some traits that I have never seen in dozens of rounds, (or even just ones that almost never show up) but needed to complete combos (innovator, guardian, assassin).
Great game ngl
Good
Can’t actually get in the game
Waited 20 minutes but it still says Im connecting into the server
Amazing
The maintenance just started and I don’t believe I got my destiny reward for my run I just finished
P2C
I feel like the development team just wanted to make a lot of money with just micro transactions not realizing you need to also have a lot of content to give them with out spending money
Great game - behind a paywall
Love the game. The story is great. The art is great. The gameplay is great. The only thing is…you really cannot do much unless you want to invest. But the investment is at least $15 if you want to unlock new things. Which I would not regarding a phone game. He at game but disappointed on the pay to play aspect. Though, I also understand the need to support the developers. I am just not willing to pay so much for a mobile game.
bug
Hey, handsome planner, I have a few problems in this episode, may need your help, first: because of the last update of the first discount, I used to buy a second map, so I did not enjoy the first discount, really sad, second: Advertising can not see, every time is advertising in preparation, without those free bricks, I can not beat the final boss, hope you can help me!
Waste of time
Game won’t load past the first screen.
Fun time killer
Pretty basic premise but written well and combat is fun. A good little time killer here.
Sketchy English, Disjointed Segments, Boring Combat
First of all, the English is a bit sketchy. I’m pretty sure it’s Asian-based ESL. They really need a good editor to help them write in the proper tenses and correct minor mistakes because the content isn’t bad at all. What really kills this game is that it goes from one disjointed segment to the other. There is no depth to the story, no filler and no atmospheric immersion (which is a shame since you’re dealing with a mysterious tower in an arctic wasteland inhabited by unholy priests and the undead! The way this is written you might as well be at Walmart! Instead of reading an immersive story you just get segments. You go from fight to fight to fight to fight. 9/10ths of which find you facing one enemy and blocked from behind by another. It’s yawn-time. If you simply invest in Reflection, Adaptation, Defense, etc, you can basically block your way clear of any fight so there is no real difficulty. There are also no real choices to be made. You don’t choose the direction you’ll go, or whether to run or fight or how to deal with enemies. There’s no talking, spell casting, running, or bribing your way out of anything. And after every fight you get a reward that buffs your character into OP pretty quickly. If they invested in fleshing out a coherent story with more immersive content, more decisions, better English and a more balanced reward system, this could be really great! I really hope they do.
The money you have to put into the game
Great game, fell in-love with it my first time playing but when I realized you had to pay for almost everything in it kinda messed that up a little bit for me.
Amazing Game But…
Before I say anything, this is one of the best games I’ve played on Mobile and I always love a good turn based game. This requires actual strategy and memory in order to beat. The modes are actually challenging which is hard for a mobile game to do and the ads aren’t constant at all. The one thing I don’t like about this game is how hard it is to get gems. The Gems are how you unlock pretty much everything and it would be nice to have an easier way to unlock them, maybe by daily missions or something else. Overall this game is a 9/10 for me and I would definitely recommend
Wont connect
Been on the loading screen for half a hour cant play the game
Gems and Content
This game is great with a basic turn-based game, however there is one thing that always bothered me when playing, which are the gems. There aren’t manny ways to get gems besides either watching videos (12 per day for 10 each) which isn’t a lot, or paying. The former is honestly up to the user but some don’t want to due to the time consumption which I get. The latter is paying, which if you’re a F2P is honestly infuriating. My suggestion would be to add more ways to get gems such as Daily Quests, Daily Rewards, or perhaps something out of pocket like once per week you do a special mission/dungeon to get gems, the farther you go the more gems you get. This also adds to my next personal problem, yeah there’s 2 Maps and a multitude of characters which you’re able to replay and grind but after a while it feels boring and empty. I would suggest adding more content as dungeons as I said previously, just something to do if you’re bored and want to do something different.
No progression between runs
Its not very rouge lite, you dont get to upgrade between runs the upgrades system only gives more advanced cards feels like there little to no progression between runs
It’s annoying
Way to hard if you don’t spend 40 bucks on the game to get new players even on easy can’t beat it without spending money
