Tower of Time is a story-driven role-playing game in which you lead a party of heroes down through a mysterious tower buried beneath the earth. Each floor holds puzzles, secrets and fights, and you upgrade your characters and their gear as you go deeper and learn more about where the tower came from. Its combat runs in real time but allows you to pause or slow it down to give orders.
That slowed combat makes it play like a tactics game, with plenty of thought about positioning and skill timing. It is single-player, and alternate modes offer a lighter role-playing ruleset and permanent death for a different challenge. It suits players who like classic party RPGs with tactical battles.
