Tower of Fantasy has a more free-to-play-friendly gacha system compared to Genshin Impact. There is no Pity reset in Tower of Fantasy's gacha, while we have Pity reset in Genshin Impact's gacha. Tower of Fantasy offers many free currencies that you can use to perform free gacha pulls, which we don't see in Genshin Impact. 

• Cyno, the General Mahamatra, is an upcoming playable character that the community has been waiting for a very long time, ever since he made an appearance in Genshin Impact's official manga. You can check out our guide on Genshin Impact Cyno: Everything You Need to Know for more details.

Genshin Impact doesn't offer five-star weapons or characters for free. Except for that PlayStation promotion, where users got Aloy. Meanwhile, Tower of Fantasy allows beginners to take an SSR unit of their choice.

Genshin Impact has a far better Story, Setting, Music, and other elements when compared to Tower of Fantasy which lacks quality and only delivers quantity. 

World Design, Open World, and Exploration

Genshin Impact offers a better open world, exploration, puzzles, and lore than Tower of Fantasy's open world, which is not that fun to explore. Now, there may be players who like the open world of Tower of Fantasy more than Genshin Impact's, but to us, it just didn't click. Tower of Fantasy's world feels bland compared to Genshin Impact's open world, filled with unique regions with different cultures, music, distinct world design, and other such things.

The list can go on if we compare small details and elements that make both games somewhat similar yet different. In short, Genshin Impact has set an industry standard for multiplatform mobile games that Tower of Fantasy or other games fail to transcend. While Tower of Fantasy does many things that set it apart from Genshin Impact, as a Genshin Impact player, you will notice things in Tower of Fantasy that look like copy-paste.
