What is Tower of Fantasy?
Tower of Fantasy is an anime-inspired MMORPG set in a sci-fi fantasy setting. while it resembles Genshin Impact based on its aesthetics, it’s actually much different in terms of the progression systems and the features it prioritizes. You can expect real-time combat, upgradeable weapons, crafting, and exploration like you would in Genshin Impact.
