Unlike Genshin Impact, however, ToF has a lot of features that make it more of an MMO. Tower of Fantasy is the latest Gacha game to join the likes of Genshin Impact. So be aware of those while you play this game. Since it’s a Korean MMO, Lost Ark has a lot of pay-to-win elements as well as gambling-style mechanics.
