First of all, ''Times of Lore'' has an epic tone, while ''Tangled Tales'' leans more towards the humorous. Then, ''Times of Lore'' is an action-adventure game, instead of being a role-playing game: it features freedom of exploration and characters interaction, but lacks character development. Instead, ''Tangled Tales'' features all three aforementioned aspects, but its combat interface is more similar to a {{c|text adventure}} game, rather than a turn-based RPG. | First of all, ''Times of Lore'' has an epic tone, while ''Tangled Tales'' leans more towards the humorous.
