Exceptional! – Tower of Fortune Review

Words can't describe how wonderfully well done this game is. The opening scene with the rain fall and cracking thunder and lightning evokes so much feeling. I could look at the main title screen all day. There is just a beauty and simplicity in the animation. I typically don't like RPGs because of the complexity and effort required to move through a game and the fact that I am a die hard minimalist. This game however is so elegantly simple and minimal in its approach. The randomness however gives it such depth and helps keep the suspension of disbelief. To the developers. Guys, keep doing what you are doing. I have been dreaming of a game like this. Don't change the menu system or anything with the presentation. It is flawless. I love the color tones you presented. I love the fact that it is simple clicks, and then sit back and enjoy your presentation. By the way, if you ever do a help screen, make it only one page to continue the elegance of this game. 02-28-18 - Playing it again. I just love Game Stew. A word to the developers...The reason that TOF and TOF2 are nearly 5 stars and most of your others are not I believe is due to one thing. You lost the mechanic that allows you to overcome randomness. Your slots spinner is one of the greatest game mechanics, because it rewards you for learning timing. If you would have had this mechanic in Ancient Legacy, it would have been near 5 stars as well. The grind is always worth it if you feel like you still have some control over your environment. Once you lose that last element of control, it is no fun anymore. Just my thoughts. I would so love it if you guys were to make a Lord of the Rings game one day. No one, and I mean no one creates an atmosphere like you all do. I just love your design. Thanks, Game Stew!!
