Whether you’re a newcomer or a veteran of sci-fi MMOs, this guide will help you master Aida’s secrets and optimize your tower-climbing adventure.

Gameplay

Tower of Fantasy casts you as a wanderer on the post-apocalyptic planet of Aida, where you explore vibrant biomes and ancient ruins in seamless, free-roam traversal. Combat revolves around quick weapon swapping, each armament offers unique skills, encouraging on-the-fly strategy to exploit enemy weaknesses. Energy, or “heat,” acts as a stamina bar for special attacks and dashes, requiring players to balance offense with recovery. The game supports cross-platform play across PC, mobile, and consoles, ensuring you can team up regardless of device.

Story

The narrative begins 50 years after the catastrophic Omnium explosion, which scarred Aida with volatile radiation and mutated creatures. You awaken with a suppressor device that curbs the encroaching Aberration, joining Zeke, Shirli, and other survivors in the Astra Shelter to uncover the Omnium’s mysteries. As you venture through the shattered world, exploring the neon towers of Banges and the overgrown wilds, you’ll face moral choices and uncover hidden legacies of the Heirs of Aida. The story unfolds through engaging cutscenes, voiced dialogue, and sprawling field missions that deepen the bond between characters.

Gacha System

Tower of Fantasy’s gacha, known as “Special Orders,” unlocks early via the Scrapper NPC in Banges. There are distinct banners for weapons and Matrices (character upgrades), each with its own pity counter: weapon banners guarantee an SSR pull by 80 summons, while matrix banners assure an SSR by 40 pulls. Unlike some gacha titles, each SSR from the limited banner has a 50% chance to be the featured simulacrum, with the pity rate resetting upon a featured drop ﹘ a mechanic that invites strategic pulling to maximize your chances at top-tier characters and gear.

Modes

Tower of Fantasy offers a wealth of activities to suit solo adventurers and cooperative groups alike.
