Only thing she can remember is a mysterious message to operate the Clock Tower…

I didn't know what I was getting into, but I knew I was in for a challenge!

A buddy had recommended this game to me specifically based on my love of dark story elements and card games. Chrono Ark lived up to the hype they gave it and then some! I still remember my first encounter with a specific boss in Zone 2 and how it felt after a handful of failures to finally beat it. The atmosphere each map has with its combination of monsters and BGM is insane. From personal experience as one who tries to think ahead and guess where a story might go, don't do it! You should just sit back and enjoy what the game has to offer! When you feel you want some additional content, why not check out the workshop?

Chrono Ark... Lets start with the slights i have against it, a small list.

The DLC has some fanservice skins, which like... fair, its an anime game.
It was an early access game in development, so some plot points got dropped without being fully explained, which kinda stinks.
I do wish there were a bit more characters to play as, though its not really an issue as its more of a "i want to play this game more".

I love absolutely everything else about this game. The gamplay hits just right, The story is spectacular, and God... the characters, man. Actual complexity. I love it.

After several runs I felt like I was forcing myself to play. It's taking ages for something to happen storywise and, considering how little variety the game has, it's becoming really boring and repetitive.

Addicting gameplay that makes you come back again and again, and if that is not enough the game has an amazing story. Both as a rougelike and a story game it delivers on both ends. Definitely recommend!

I personally loved this game.

I feel like to truly get the joy of it you have to be playing while reading the tidbits of story you unlock along the way.

The overworld map allows you to be a bit strategic on either claiming rewards to be better prepared for the fights, or do the fights first to buy from the shop what you need to get as much as you can from the floor.

The design is great. Ost is surprisingly mundane save for a few BANGERS in some of the story highest story moments.

The game feeds you a great narrative, a great game mechanic. While the overload mechanic can be tedious there are characters that work with it and with removing it, so it is more about teambuilding and prioritizing strategy than just taking easy pickings.

Game will block you on your first run for story purposes though. Not my cup of tea but makes sense with the story.

Easily one of the best Roguelike Deckbuilders. Worth for the gameplay alone, but compared to other games of the genre, this one even has a good story on top.

The game is quite easy until unlocking optional challenges however, which can be considered a downside for those that prefer a challenge right from the start or an upside for people who don't want that and potentially prefer focusing on the story.

Even after getting 100% of the achievements, my opinion of the game is very positive.

It's a character focused turn-based deckbuilder, with a great soundtrack and interesting enemy design. Definitely inspired by Slay the Spire, but A LOT better in every way.

It's a bit hard to get into , I remember thinking that the UI looks like a mobile game, there's a lot of text and status effects that completely screw you over if you don't notice the tiny icons. Often the text is long and the keyword explanations don't appear all of the time. I also remember being very off-put by seeing a g¤ddamn RPG character sheet worth of stats (don't worry about it).
But once you get past the learning curve , things get very interesting and all the cool synergies from character interactions show what the game is capable of. The game also has a surprising amount of punch to it, abilities feel good to use and the sfx are cool.
Character kits are very distinct, there's a lot of them and once you see them in action, all the long confusing textboxes become clear.
Boss battles can be bs, but that's normal for the genre. Once you realllly pay attention to their life-or-death mechanics and have enough heals and damage, they actually seem to flow really well. I have no idea how they pulled this off.

The visual novel part is kind of weak, the writing is okay and you'll hear those 5 sound effects every 5 seconds. However some scenes are actually impressive and overall, the story had some great moments and interesting ideas, it was definitely above average.

Overall it's a game that was clearly made with a lot of passion and playtesting, it has it's quirks and manages to innovate and replicate satisfying mechanics. I'm glad I took a risk and bought it with no knowledge about it, it was a very fun experience. I'll most likely keep doing runs of it, almost every character feels great to play and this is one of the genre's finest.

I was lured by the word "chrono", expected some time travel / alternate history plot. But it's more like grotesque horror / techno thriller. Still interesting, though. Buy this if you like roguelikes and have time to figure out complex battle mechanics.

A challenging but well made card rougelike. The soundtrack is great and the combos you can do in combat are satisfying. This is also an interesting game where the DLC skin packs actually provide very good equipment/relics, so it can be worth spending the extra dollar.

I admit, I was a little skeptical about buying this game, but boy, am I glad i did. This game, not only dominated my playing hours for the first two days playing it, but even after that, I'm still having the same thrill as if I've just opened the game and started to enjoy it for the first time. This game has easily become one of my favorite games I've ever played. I would absolutely recommend playing it.

What a strange little game.

I'm really struggling for words here. The closest comparison that comes to mind is Nier: Automata. Like Nier, this game felt like jank at first. The mechanics are dense, with reams of poorly tooltipped text on every card. The main character's sprite looked like a parody.

But then the story decided to strap on a rocket and fly through a maze of twists and burning hoops and I have to admit - it kind of hooked me. Again, kind of like Nier. The mechanics started clicking, synergies slowly revealed themselves and I felt like I needed to see the end(ings).

Yeah, its is a bit janky, but also weirdly brilliant once you learn the ropes. The story manages to be gripping and surprising even when it gets silly (spoilers: its quite anime). So I have no regrets and I think that if you enjoy deckbuilders and anime, you'll enjoy this game too.

story 9/10 (THE ENDING IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO PEAK, reason why its not 10 is because just a few characters could have been written better but overall the story is amazing)
Gameplay 10/10 such a fun and interesting card game if you like slay the spire this is arguably better, it's that good.
soundtrack 10/10 simply amazing.

Overall 10/10 if you like card Games EVEN A LITTLE BIT this is a must play even if you don't you gotta try it.

Amazing deckbuilder with a fun cast and surprisingly good story that makes really good use of the roguelike setup. I was hooked on completing runs to get that extra story progression each time. The final boss fights are especially impressive, quite cinematic and totally caught me off guard with how hype they were.

Combat is very in depth with a lot of mechanics and a huge amount of interesting synergy between characters. If you like coming up with creative ways to combo units together, this game really lets you get crazy with it. Base difficulty level is good, with additional difficulty options and challenge modes if you want them.

Easy 10/10 for me, one of the best games I've played in this genre

Chrono Ark a benchmark for what video games can be when every detail is dialed to Eleven.



Chrono Ark is a flat-out masterpiece in video game design, a title that redefines the roguelike deck-building genre with a brilliance that feels almost unreal. The gameplay hooks you from the jump, blending strategy and chaos into an addictive dance where every choice carries weight.

The art style? Beautiful. It’s a mesmerizing fusion of shadowy elegance and bold, lively character portraits that practically hum with personality, perfectly capturing the game’s thrilling energy-defined vibe. The music stands as an unreal force, a heart-thumping soundtrack that turns every clash into a cinematic rush. Together, these pieces forge an experience that’s as breathtaking as it is unforgettable.

You and your squad tear through a gauntlet of wildly varied enemies, each fight a pulse-pounding test of skill and synergy. But the bosses? They’re the real showstoppers, every single one a fun, breathtaking battle that demands your all. These epic throwdowns are pure adrenaline, mixing clever mechanics with jaw-dropping flair and making every win feel like you’ve conquered a legend. From hulking nightmares to sly manipulators, the game keeps you guessing and ensures no two showdowns ever lose their spark.

Heroes Worth Rooting For



The true heart of Chrono Ark lies in its characters, each one so masterfully crafted they could headline their own saga.

These characters aren’t just well-made. They’re electrifying, each with strengths that make them legends and weaknesses that keep them human.

Guns, magic, swords, everyone is locked and loaded, and it’s up to you to put together a squad that can tear through each level.

The Verdict



Chrono Ark is a 10/10, no debate. It’s a game where gameplay, art, music, and characters collide in a perfect storm of brilliance, delivering an adventure that’s as tough as it is awe-inspiring. It’s not just a game. It’s a benchmark for what video games can be when every detail is dialed to eleven.

Very consistent way of deck building by having characters-specific Upgrades and Lucy-cards which synergize with themselves. For example, having Miss Chain in your team makes it so that when you upgrade other's cards they might activate her Passive; and adds Miss Chain specific Lucy cards to the Lucy card pool. Just consistent enough that the game is always balanced and you dont feel too weak or overpowered because you hit the jackpot

This is more like a beautifully crafted visual novel with roguelike deckbuilding and slight JRPG elements that require you to play through several times to get the full story. The art and music direction is fantastic, the storyline is quite engaging and interesting, and the gameplay is fun. One thing to note however is that there is a lot of reading, and if you choose to skip it just to jump ahead to more gameplay you may miss chunks of the story.

Background


So, I am not someone who posts reviews for games on Steam. As of me writing this, I have not reviewed any other game, however I feel notably compelled to for Chrono Ark. This is a very interesting game and I am mainly writing this review in the hopes that it will convince at least one person to check it out, just like others reviews did for me. If you want the short of it, I love this game and I think it's both wonderful and unique, but it's not a "for everyone" game.

Overview
Chrono Ark is exactly what it says on the tin, a Party Based Deckbuilding Roguelike, think like Across the Obelisk. There are 20 characters in the game, along with Lucy herself acting as a sort of pseudo 21st character you always bring, though she takes the role of a team leader (in narrative too) and engine who propels the characters along via mostly draw power. You travel through each area, fighting enemies, doing events, visiting the shop, the usual things you'd expect, up until you fight the boss at the end of the area. You unlock things throughout the game as you do each run to expand your list of equips and Lucy cards.

The Positives



Gameplay and Characters
Each character has their own unique deck lists to pick from throughout the game, leaving each character feeling fairly unique to the others. You have your standard playstyles, like just hitting things with big damage, DoT damage, straight forward tanking and healing, but there's also some very unique playstyles as well. There is no character in the game that I feel is too similar to another, along with a good amount of easy to use and harder to use characters, which shockingly enough, they are quite balanced despite being so unique and having a wide ease of use gap between the easier and harder to use characters. Overall that's left me feeling pretty happy with all of them and I personally enjoy using everyone.

Writing
Despite being a Roguelike, which typically don't have much in the way of stories or writing in general, Chrono Ark decides to travel off the beaten path and actually have it's story and characters be of notable importance. A large majority of the story is told through listings found in the Archive, which you can visit between runs. As you go through each run, you will eventually unlock certain listings and can then view them whenever you please. Other than the Archive, you will find the rest of the story put right in center stage after what I will describe as "certain conditions" for the sake of not spoiling the story. To put it simply, I love Chrono Ark's story, and I enjoy most of the characters. It goes over many unique topics including a decent chunk of deeper philosophical topics, which really caught me off guard, but in a good way. Additionally, since a majority of the story is optional, and all of the cutscenes are skippable, if you aren't enjoying the story, you don't have to interact with it and can just play the game.

Music
There really isn't a ton to say here, but Chrono Ark's music is really good. I would say for me personally it's the best ost out of any other Deckbuilding game out there. Most bosses have their own unique themes as well, instead of it being an area by area thing like you'd expect. The music helps elevate the stress of being put in a bad spot, or making certain moments all the sweeter as a good piece of music should. It's truly some solid work and it has me humming along all the time, notable songs are the optional Shiranui boss fight and the penultimate boss fight.

The "Dependents"



Difficulty
Chrono Ark I feel falls under the category of "Schrodingers Difficulty." What I mean by this, is that people who have played other Deckbuilding games will likely do just fine and not find the game to be that hard until they start pumping the difficulty up, but people who aren't too familiar with games like these will likely struggle. For me, it sits pretty firmly in the area where I like a games difficulty, however this might not be the case for everyone. Thankfully, if you care a lot about the story or just want a bit of assistance as you improve, there is a mode that eases the game up for you while still allowing you to experience the story, so it's not a huge problem.

Story Delivery
As I mentioned earlier, much of the games story is told through the Archive, which does mean the story is told in a very fragmented manner. Not everyone will click with this manner of storytelling, however I would personally say this improved the story for me by keeping me on my toes about certain characters or plot developments. Also, it's sorta hard to tell a story in a game like this through other means, so I feel this was likely the best way to handle it here, but I still feel the need to mention it.

Management/Learning Curve
This segment sorta goes along with Difficulty to a point. What I mean by Management, is how many things you are required to juggle and think about during a game. Chrono Ark has MANY mechanics, and a lot of cards have multiple effects and/or purposes. Alongside that, you have to understand what the enemies, usually regarding bosses, do and how to fight them. This isn't a game you're meant to no brain, it wants you to read and think and learn how it ticks. Going into a boss fight without learning what they do beforehand is a surefire way to get you wiped, with you likely thinking it was bs or unfair. You are given no shortage of plates to spin and tough choices to make. Personally I love when a game like this gives me a lot to manage, because it makes the game (usually) more unique and makes victory (also usually) all the sweeter. Despite having defeated every boss in the game and understanding what they do, I still find squeezing out a victory very satisfying, with a big part of it being the management needed to do so, but not everyone wants to need to learn a bunch of effects or spin a bunch of plates. Additionally, as you play it does get much easier to manage everything and leaving the unique things much more natural, thus the learning curve.

The Negatives



Nothing?
I truly do not believe Chrono Ark has any bad aspects. It is of course not a perfect game, but anything negative that I can say about it end up just being nitpicks or small things that don't really change how I feel about the game overall. If you are on the fence about this game still, I would recommend going back to the "The Dependents" segment and reading over that again, as that is what will make or break the game for a very large amount of people.

English Translation
So, Chrono Ark is made by Korean Developers. In fact upon opening the game, it will be in Korean and you will need to change the language. Do not worry, this is very quick and easy. Because of this, they did need to translate it obviously, the translation isn't bad, but it's not perfect. You can go through the entire game and completely understand what's being said, but it does have the occasional strange wording, or a character will mention someone by name directly to the character being named as if they aren't the one being talked to. Again, it is 99% of the time perfectly fine, just the every-so-often oddity.

UI
Not a lot to say to about this, I just find the UI of the game to be very plain and uninteresting. It's not really intrusive or anything, just uninspired. It feels like the UI you'd see in the beta of a game rather than the full release.

Overall


This game is very very good, and might actually be my new favorite indie game, but it is a touchy recommend due to mainly the learning curve and means of story delivery. I would still recommend anyone who is on the fence to check it out though, as I was also on the fence before buying it, and was left very thoroughly satisfied. I don't usually give games a number score rating, but if I had to here, it'd be a very solid 9.25/10.

The deckbuilding aspect of this game works really well. The gameplay is well defined for a roguelite and the deckbuilding makes a difference each time you run through. The story, or lack thereof, is a completely different piece. The game is brandished as a JRPG. I'm 8 hours in, completed several runs through, and all I get is: "We must start the clock at the clock tower!". Reading through Reddit, the story, even with spoilers, sounds like a jumbled piece of garbage and half the community just wants to skip it anyways.

I'd like to rate this game better, but it feels like false advertising to call it an RPG other than you have to "level up" temporarily to get to the end of a 6 stage run just for it to not mean anything. All your progressive items that go from run to run are very lackluster. The interactions with the characters for their friendship is very bland. The fact that nothing you do matters from one run to the next defeats the purpose of telling the story, imo.

Im a big fan of deckbuilders. I've played Gwent, Heartstone, Slay the Spire, Hellcard, Monster Train, etc. So naturally I was excited to play this game. Initially I didnt recommend this game because thhe first initial runs felt insanely EASY that i was actually just on autopilot. Then you get to the first major boss and he seemed 3 times harder than anything youve faced previously. It annoyed me because none of the battles up to him scaled up to prepare you for him. I thought this is how the game is going to be. Im glad I was wrong. After you beat him, runs start to get harder and the initial runs dont feel as 'autopiloty'. There's actual challenges that prepare you for him. Another layer of challenge is the characters you choose, they will make it easier or harder during your run. There's also interesting routes to take and find new bosses in unexpected places. Im not one for stories in card games but the story here is surprisingly good. Im a fan of dark, apocalypse, end of the world stories. If youre into deckbuilders or rpgs give it a try, it starts off slow but then it starts to click after a few hours. This game can also feel a bit overwhelming with all the complexity and effects but honestly it makes for an even deeper combat system.

TL;DR Solid deck-building rogue-like with more focus on the story. Not to say that the gameplay is unbalanced or bad, just that during the main story mode you will be reading a decent amount.

The Good
Visuals: The art is very fitting and very consistent throughout the game. The 2.5D map movement can get slightly awkward at times, but nothing that gets in the way of the main game.
The effects and actions adds style, while keeping it short enough to not drag battle times.
Gameplay: It's a deck-building rogue-like so the basics are there, but it does have it's unique health system and leveling system. Honestly the hardest might be trying to understand the unique character/card mechanics, since the description/translation is not always clear.
There's a good variety of characters allowing enough variation per run.
Story: Without any spoilers, the story does a good job of fitting the rogue-lite repetition in a meaningful way. Each party member has small interactions to reveal their story, and all the story can be replayed from the main hub. Thankfully, you can also skip the cutscenes/story you've seen once so there's no drag there.

The Bad:
Honestly, there's not much except for some translation/UI? errors. They are really minor, but there are sometimes odd word choices.
Of all the time I played, I ran into a bug when I was trying to skip too fast. That was the only bug that required a restart/retry, but the game allows resuming from midway, so no problem there either.

Chrono Ark is an absolute gem that deserves every bit of praise it gets. As a fan of deck-building roguelikes, I was blown away by how seamlessly this game blends strategic depth, compelling storytelling, and stunning visuals. It’s not just a game; it’s an experience.

The gameplay is incredibly satisfying. Each run feels fresh thanks to the diverse characters, cards, and relics you can combine. The deck-building mechanics are intuitive yet deep, allowing for endless experimentation. Whether you’re carefully planning your moves or adapting to unexpected challenges, every decision matters. The difficulty is perfectly balanced—challenging enough to keep you on your toes but never unfair.

What truly sets Chrono Ark apart, though, is its story. The narrative is rich, emotional, and full of twists that keep you hooked. The characters are well-written, each with their own unique personalities and backstories that make you genuinely care about them. The world-building is phenomenal, with a dark, mysterious atmosphere that pulls you in from the very beginning.

The art style is gorgeous, with beautifully designed characters and environments that perfectly complement the game’s tone. The soundtrack is equally impressive, adding to the immersive experience with its haunting melodies and epic battle themes.

If you’re a fan of deck-builders, roguelikes, or just great storytelling in games, Chrono Ark is a must-play. It’s a game that stays with you long after you’ve put it down, and I can’t recommend it enough.

10/10 - A timeless masterpiece.

It's a cute little game with interesting, albeit not too difficult mechanics. The plot is a bit predictable, but serviceable. I beat expert mode with less than 12 hours, I will be trying Red Mist mode to see if it offers more of a challenge and will update this review then.

Chrono Ark is one of the best deckbuilder roguelikes I have played, both gameplay-wise and story-wise. But I have to compare difficulties before going into the specifics.

First, Normal Mode is much easier than Expert Mode. You can change this difficulty every start of the run. I like to think that Normal Mode is there for the first-time players to get a feel for the surface level of the game's many mechanics. This game is easy in normal mode. Expert mode, on the other hand, is really where those mechanics shine. For the first few hours, I went through the game on Normal Mode but ultimately decided to go Expert Mode and never went back. Because of how different the difficulties are, a lot of the things that you can usually get away with in Normal Mode aren't forgiven in Expert Mode. This makes the difficulty learning curve considerably steep.

When I say this thing has many mechanics, I mean there is a HUGE CHUNK of mechanics that can be pretty daunting to a player at first. There's the standard DPS, tanking, and healing setups, then sustained damage, aggro control, crowd control (yes, they work on bosses), damage over time, deck prediction & cycling, heck, even self-damage and healing over time—there are teams in this game that will capitalize on that! More importantly, these aren't even everything. Because the characters are pretty unique with each other, the roster (all 20 of them) can have pretty different playstyles you can mix and match with. In a perfect world, these characters are all balanced, but they aren't. Surprisingly, however, they actually don't have as much of a gap as you might think! Honestly impressed at how well they are implemented right now.

Runs and RNG. Are you at the mercy of the RNG? Well, yes and no. There will be runs that are plain unlucky and runs where it is as if God himself has bestowed you all the mighty drops. Most of the time, it's the case of knowing how you can make the most out of your situation and learning what you could have done better next run. You have Lucy's necklace that allows you to revive characters mid-run, but this game can be pretty merciless even with it.

Story. The story is very much worth it! While I can't exactly describe it without spoiling, the game has a great narrative and a good amount of story to go through. Every character has their own motivations, past, and future ambitions presented in their own segmental stories. These are accessible throughout the game (usually via a gift system). I had to return to the game's Steam page to see what more I could say in this section without spoiling but found it funny that it also tells you nothing about the story. It really is better to experience it yourself.

Amazing game. Can get dark and depressing haha

I really like the gameplay loop, art style, and music. I know that great care has been given to audio implementation, with catchy composition, dynamic battle music, nice ambience sound, and good overall balance. What's lacking for me is UI feedback and animation maybe?

What a cute little roguelike... Sure hope there's no seething existential dread underneath...

Edit: One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

2nd Edit: Really would consider this more of a conventional jrpg and a VN than a roguelike. And I honestly wouldn't consider it a card game either. If you like the above, and you also like stuff like Withering Rooms and Tower Of God, you should give this a try even if cards and rogues aren't your typical jam.

An interesting game that blends roguelike deckbuilding with JRPG teambuilding, leading to a lot of interesting synergies. I've never played anything quite like it before. I also appreciate how ambitious that creators got with narrative structure in this game, there's a huge commitment to not only having a story, but a non-linear narrative reveal.

Sadly, the game does a fall a bit flat in some areas. The art is a bit generic, the writing suffers from unresolved plot threads, and the gift giving system is unintuitive. While it's not a masterpiece, I would call it a great game for the genre.

Seriously fuck the devs for unresolved plot threads though.

Very nice deckbuilder where you pick 4 characters out of 20 to join you each run with each character having their own unique set of abilities that they can add to your deck. Lots of fun, all the characters are pretty cool and the story is nice too.

OMG I really enjoy this game. The story of this game is fantastic; the characters, story line, and play style of each character are unique, and you can create a variety of builds based on your own play style. The music is also fantastic. Highly recommended.

After playing it since early access, I genuinely enjoyed its story and card battler gameplay. Also, one look at the screenshots provided I fell in love with it immediately as it looks like Slay the Spire BUT, it gave me 1st person dungeon crawler vibes which I like.

Buy it.

*Extra*
I WAS LEFT WITH A ----------- when I played this back in beta as I reached the "--------" after a boss and it said that I can't continue since the game is not yet released. I was playing one day before release. ONE DAY. I am still salty with missing that chance to get that e--ing.

it's like slay the spire with bad balancing and awful ui. every skill has like 3 random effects and every major fight is just a chaotic mess of weird, overly complex modifiers, very few of which are communicated well. the whole thing is just a wall of random numbers to juggle

200 hours of gameplay, and if I could forget this game to replay again, I would do it.

It's not like Slay the Spire, it's a new style of deckbuilding, this game is probably the most underrated Deckbuilding right now, I played a lot of differents deckbuilder, but none of them is comparable to Chrono Ark.

I don't want to spoil game, but if you like :

- A lot of differents builds
- High ceilling or bottom floor skill characters
- Anime characters
- Facing difficult content without ascension level
- Interesting lore

Yes, give it a try, and if you're enough brave, once you finish the game, I suggest you to add some mods from community

Solid 9/10, even better than Monster Train, Across Obelisk and any others card game.
