Tower of Fantasy wanted to compete with Genshin Impact – How is the MMORPG doing 5 months after release?
Whales dominate the servers, the rest play relaxed
On Steam, Tower of Fantasy currently receives the rating “Balanced” – 68% of the ratings in the last 30 days were positive. Many write in their reviews that the game is Pay2Win. “If you play Free2Play or want to spend little, I warn you not to start the game,” writes one user.
On reddit, players are responding more relaxed to the problem. In one post, someone asked if he could ignore the meta in the game. In the comments, whales are discussed. There are very many of them, but those who ignore them can play relaxed. We summarize some of the comments for you:
- Commander_Yvonna: “Because whales dominate everything, you don’t have to hurry. Play the game at your own pace.”
- h3-Mori: “Depending on the server, there are a lot of whales. They want to lead every content, even the difficult ones. The community is actually better than in other games.”
- KareeMapanse: “The non-whales log in every two months or leave the game completely.”
- Decrith: “It’s Pay2Win faster or Pay2Carry, but not really Pay2Win.”
Tower of Fantasy cannot compete with Genshin Impact. It has lost many players but is far from dying. Some players have stayed and appreciate the MMORPG despite bugs and whales.

The 10 MMORPGs with the most players on Steam in January 2023
In August 2022, an anime MMORPG was released that aimed to compete with the popular action RPG Genshin Impact. We at MeinMMO have looked at how Tower of Fantasy is currently performing.
Tower of Fantasy was very popular at release – everyone seemed to be playing it or at least trying it out to engage in discussions. It is an anime MMORPG that visually resembles Genshin Impact.
Particularly exciting was the MMORPG aspect, because while Genshin Impact has a multiplayer mode, most players tend to venture alone. In Tower of Fantasy, however, depending on the server, everyone meets up.
A brief hype around the release of Tower of Fantasy
The MMORPG was initially released on its own client for PC and mobile but announced its Steam release for 2022. This came along with the Vera update, a major content update that the developers had high hopes for. However, many players had already left the MMORPG and redirected their attention back to Genshin Impact or other games.
According to SteamDB, nearly 3,000 players started Tower of Fantasy at peak in the last 24 hours. The highest peak was three months ago at about 7,200. We cannot see the numbers of the own client as well as mobile players, so the actual number of players is likely much higher.
SteamDB also shows the Twitch viewers. There, the MMORPG saw a significant spike in August 2022, at the release. At that time, 277,000 people were watching; at the Steam release, it was only 33,000.
According to the site Active Player, Genshin Impact currently has player numbers of around 570,000. So, it cannot be said that there is competition here.
Strong parallels to Genshin Impact, but also differences
In both Genshin Impact and Tower of Fantasy, players progress through the story, explore the area, and solve various small puzzles. Daily dungeons and quests yield useful items, including the currency needed for the gacha system. In both games, players can, with some luck, draw different characters.
Here, you can see clear parallels:
- In Genshin Impact, we are accompanied by a small being named Paimon, in Tower of Fantasy it is Mi-A.
- There are 2 types of characters: 4-star and 5-star, or SR and SSR characters.
- 4 daily quests in Genshin Impact, 4 bounty hunts in Tower of Fantasy.
- The exploration of the game world proceeds in a very similar manner.
However, there are significant differences between the two games:
Bugs drove away many players
Initially, everything sounds wonderful about Tower of Fantasy, at least for fans of MMORPGs and anime graphics. However, from the beginning, there were a number of bugs that were hard to overlook.
PvP was nearly unplayable, quests did not function properly, climbing was bugged and there were also issues with login. Some of this has been fixed, but players still have to deal with some bugs.
Especially at the beginning of the Vera update, it was disappointing how poorly some of the quests functioned. One had to ride a bike through the desert and reach a specific goal, but was suddenly reset. Mirroria City was also more buggy than breathtaking.
Another annoying bug is that sometimes when starting the game, the so-called “purchase pass” appears dominantly on the screen and cannot be clicked away.
The players who have remained seem patient with Hotta Studio. Under a reddit post about the latest update coming on January 11, one user wrote: “The bug fixes are very small. It seems they can’t fix other bugs right now because Hotta is out of operation due to Covid.”
Another user added: “What bad luck with a new update. Hopefully Hotta’s situation will improve soon.” Others complain again that one of the characters (Frigg) is completely bugged.
