16 dec 2021 at 21:33

Tower of Fantasy is an MMORPG set in a fantasy-themed world, developed by the Chinese company "Perfect World Entertainment." Currently, the game has gained significant popularity due to its similarities with one of the most talked-about MMO projects of 2021 - Genshin Impact.

In this article, we will tell you about the game Tower of Fantasy and what it has to offer, including an open world, gacha system, donations, and much more. Let's dive in!

Tower of Fantasy Game Overview

Currently, the early beta version of Tower of Fantasy is already available, including character customization. It is widely speculated that the game is preparing for a global release in 2022. The second closed beta testing concluded in China in April, so it is reasonable to assume that the full release in its home country will happen by the end of the year. If you are a fan of science fiction aesthetics, anime, and cliff jumps, then you should take a closer look at this project!

Tower of Fantasy - An Open World Game?

Yes, you can expect an open world with numerous monsters, rewards, and adventures in Tower of Fantasy! It is a multi-level action game where you can crawl, swim, run, and even fly using whimsical apparatuses. The game also offers various forms of transportation, ranging from robotic mounts to motorcycles and flying capsules.

In other aspects, Tower of Fantasy shares many similarities with similar open-world games like Genshin Impact:

  • Chest collection and opening;
  • Mining ore and wood;
  • Monster loot;
  • Crafting food and gathering materials;
  • Dungeons;
  • Various trials and mini-quests.

The progress of exploring the world and different zones will also be displayed in a dedicated menu.

Character Customization in Tower of Fantasy

Tower of Fantasy offers a wide variety of character skins, setting it apart from others. Most likely, these skins will be free and unlocked as you progress or level up. It's worth noting that you can also customize colors/details of your character's appearance and choose interesting accessories.

Tower of Fantasy - A Gacha Game?

Yes, it is a gacha game, but not in the conventional sense. Some characters and weapons will be available right from the start, while other items will be unlocked as you progress and complete quests. The rest will require rolling the gacha. The exact mechanics are not entirely clear yet - you will need to find certain materials (spheres) in the open world to summon the gacha.

The gacha menu itself looks fresh and interesting:

Weapons, Upgrades, and Story in Tower of Fantasy

There is a wide range of weapons and aesthetic styles in the game: crossbows, bows, spears, axes, swords, and more. Rare weapon upgrade materials will drop from the gacha and/or elite bosses.

International users admire the game's diverse storyline and unexpected plot twists, even without understanding the language. Unfortunately, only the Chinese language is available in the open beta testing, so we cannot fully immerse ourselves in the story of Tower of Fantasy just yet.


Despite the open beta providing an incomplete representation of the game, we can still form expectations and draw some conclusions. So far, the world of Tower of Fantasy is captivating and leaves an overwhelmingly positive impression!
