- Balance patches will be made in various areas according to version update. Difficulty adjustments for sections that were too easy or too hard contents will be.
2. Second Class Upgrade

4. Remake of K.O system.
- K.O system is currently making many experimental attempts. Regarding this, we will set a solution within January, and when it finished, we will notice it to you.
5. New Class : Inquisitor
- New class is coming soon! It will be applied to the regular version in February at the latest, and if things go well, you may be able to play it in the beta version in January.
- The Inquisitor is a compromise between the previous two classes and has rare strategic skills. It's difficult for beginners to handle, but it's a fun and interesting character.
6. Story Remake and Translation Improvements
- Most of English translations are hand-translated, but Google Translate was used for the main story part. Because, main story is not so good to seeing through English. So, we decided to main story translation completely after remake.
- And also partial improvements will be made with the review in many awkward conversations.
Finally,
TOD thinks of balance and fun first. And your opinion is also valuable. Please leave your impressions through the many things.
Happy New Year 2023!

Winter Sale has begun!
TOD IMPORTANT NOTICE #1
1. Change in price
: TOD is a little expensive game. This amount was set by predicting the finished product stage, but it came a burden for users. So, we continued to discuss whether it was right to change the amount while launching had already started. And after long consideration, we decided to lower the price. We will decrease TOD's price and not raise it again in the future so that more people can enjoy our games with a low price and users can be considered more reasonable. Some people have already purchased TOD at a high price. In order not to forget their support, we want to express our gratitude by in game contents.
During this winter sale, TOD will be offering strong discounts and adjusting the prices of existing games once the event is over. Don't miss your chance to buy TOD during this winter sale! More cheap than after winter sale price.
2. Change of news serialization period
: There were few bad things to deliver to news every week. Our team doesn't have a lot of work to do to deliver something in the news every week. This kind of content can cause confusion to you, so we are going to change the serialization period from weeks to months. We think it is possible to save the good value of news by trimming and delivering relatively accurate information every month.
3. Delete of Demo version
: At the time of TOD's first release, we thought the length of the content was short, and since it's a minor genre. We included a demo version so that people who didn't like it bought it and didn't get disappointed. But now, due to the development of the 3rd tower, the content has been established to extent, the price of the game has been lowered, and many interested people already played demo. Therefore, we want to close the demo version before the winter sale. We would like to thank everyone who has played the demo. If you liked the demo version, you will also like the paid version.
Game development is still ongoing. Currently, we are working on decreasing the imbalance between classes along with new classes to come, and completing the underground stage in 3rd tower. We will do our best to deliver good news to users as soon as possible.
TOD Weekly News #6
This week news will focus on upcoming KO system remade.
Anyone who have played Crusader character will have seen KO skill where enemies are sometimes killed in one hit.
The KO skill is a so-called victory skill that ends the game by inflicting damage that defeat the target monster in one shot.
However, the conditions that caused this were quite difficult.
- The target is not a boss type or a monster that is immuned from KO
- Your DEF will be higher than your opponent's ATK
- Occurs at a certain probability (default 7%) when attacked
Need to DEF had to be high, very difficult to see the KO itself for characters who grow mainly with ATK, such as witch hunter. Therefore, we want to sublimate this KO into a good game system by combining it with other feedback.
First of all, there is a new KO gauge. Start at 0/100 and collect all the gauges, will manually press the R key during combat to activate KO. It's difficult to activate right away in the combat sequence. So, it will be called in the closest processing sequence, turning it into a system that can directly intervene in the game. Similar to a smoke grenade.
Through this, I hope that many people gave me feedback about wanting to have something to intervene in battle. Auto-battle is good point for TOD, but we know some players need more control like us smoke bomb.
KO can be activated at any time to knock down the enemy in one shot. Still immune to bosses and some monster can be resist. But we considering the use of the changed KO, we are planning to use it strategically in boss fights as a ultimate skill that inflicts great damage. As long as it doesn't affect the balance too much.
The concept of the resources that fill the KO gauge is also finished to some extent. +1 per turn, +3 for defeating an enemy, +1 for completely blocking an enemy's attack (0 damage), etc. We designed the resources so that both offensive and defensive heroes can utilize KO.
In addition, by adding skills or artifacts that have effects such as adjusting the amount of resources obtained and the maximum value of the gauge itself. We are expanding many contents so that you can configure a skill tree that can actively use KO.
Lastly, KO skill have dedicated effects. It is not currently implemented, but each character class has a different KO effect. This will be applied at the same time as change. It is longer and more wonderful than other effects.
Currently, the KO system are still under discussion. It may change as posted in the news today, or it may change in a slightly different direction. If you have any opinions about the KO system, please comment.
3rd tower beta testing is ongoing. Some bugs and balance patches are also made from time to time. That are not announced separately. If you run into any issues during beta playing, please let us know through the community or comments.
