The top-down dungeon crawler genre continues to captivate gamers, and it's no wonder. There's something exhilarating about slashing through waves of enemies, whether in vivid technicolor or gritty mudcore settings. Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon aims to revitalize the beloved franchise with a mix of both aesthetics, and now, it's set for a broad release later this year on iOS, Android, and Steam.
If you've been following the series, you're likely familiar with this crunchy, pixelated roguelite, a staple on Apple Arcade. But why should you be excited now? The exclusivity is over, and Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon is coming to mobile platforms and PC, broadening its reach.
Set 200 years after the events of the second game, Chronos Dungeon introduces roguelite co-op elements, allowing up to four players to team up. You can switch your class on the fly as you delve into the labyrinthine depths to uncover the Paradigm Hourglass and perhaps find a way to mend the fractured world around you.
With its 16-bit pixel style and procedurally generated dungeons, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon feels like a nostalgic nod to classics like Zelda. Its timeless visuals hold up well even years after its initial release, making it a visual treat for gamers.
For fans, there's even more to look forward to. The upcoming widespread release appears to be the Golden Edition, initially exclusive to Apple Arcade in 2022. This version promises an enriched experience with an additional town, new NPCs, and other enhancements, ensuring a comprehensive adventure when Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon launches.
