The top-down dungeon crawler genre continues to captivate gamers, offering thrilling experiences of battling through swarms of enemies, whether in vibrant technicolor or gritty mudcore settings. Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon aims to breathe new life into the beloved franchise, blending these elements into a fresh yet nostalgic package.
If you're already familiar with this crunchy, pixelated roguelite, you'll be thrilled to know that the exclusivity is ending. Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon is set for a wide-scale release on iOS, Android, and Steam later this year. This marks a significant expansion beyond its initial home on Apple Arcade.
Dive into the game's cooperative mode, which supports up to four players, and enjoy the flexibility to switch your class on-the-fly as you explore the labyrinthine depths of Chronos Dungeon. Your mission? Uncover the mysterious Paradigm Hourglass and possibly find a way to mend the fractured world around you.
With its 16-bit pixel art and randomly generated dungeons, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon feels like a nostalgic nod to classics like Zelda, yet it remains visually compelling years after its initial release. The timeless aesthetic ensures it holds up beautifully, appealing to both new players and long-time fans of the series.
Excitingly, the upcoming widespread release seems to be the Golden Edition previously exclusive to Apple Arcade since 2022. This version includes an additional town, new NPCs, and various enhancements, promising a comprehensive and definitive gaming experience when Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon finally launches.
Set 200 years after the events of the second game, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon introduces roguelite elements and cooperative gameplay, enriching the series' narrative and gameplay mechanics.
