it fun :)

fun loot arpg

really good coop grinder with a buddy remote

It' a pretty good ARPG, the game gets easy pretty fast, I had to turn up the difficult twice while playing to keep it from feeling easy.

Fun game with interesting loot, set items, uniques ..etc

Im hooked. super fun game. really addictive

Now, as of this review, I'm not very far into a game that seems to have 10 tons of stuff to do. It's pixel art Diablo, without the need to give Blizzard any attention. Crawl through dungeons, smashing skellymans and other baddies, collecting their loot, leveling up, rinse and repeat! 10/10 will play again

Very fun ARPG, lots of loot, gear sets and builds.

Ok.. it gets a yes because its a polished game, and some may enjoy it. I did not have fun playing it, because on Normal I went GOD mode too quickly, and I literally just walked through enemies. It feels like my choices didn't matter for 80% of the game, and just picking higher stats is all I did to win... Walk + AOE and repeat... over and over again.

Great game. If you like games like Path of Exile this is really good.
Quick to the end game and a lot of freedom on building your character. End game offers good amount of time to play too.

this games is legit good, has a good variety of skills, passives, gear, nice crafting system.

it reminds me a bit of hero siege, when that game used to be good.

tho im not sure how to adjust the difficulty for the first playtrough correctly, so far it was just a breeze trough all mobs and bosses on the third difficulty, just facetanking and killing everything in seconds.

the only annoying thing was setting up the options before i started with all the sizes, numbers, loot filter etc. till the game felt playable

It is a fun game; but I am mixed about it. I re-installed it recently and remembered why I uninstalled it. I encountered a bug where the names of all enemies and dungeons are changed to (Missing Name) no matter if I uninstall the files, reinstall them, or validate cache it doesn't fix it. So I would recommend this game, but if you encounter this bug just uninstall it; doubt there will ever be a patch to fix it sadly.

Imagine a pixelized Diablo 2 with better movement mechanics and you have arrived at Chronicon. The flow of the game is nice, with even some obvious takeaways from the golden classic D2. The class customization is wonderfully done, the only weird curve ball for me at the beginning was building the items from Left to Right as opposed to the normal Top to Bottom approach for skill customization. A few nuances, such as changing settings for LT and the toggle button for loot names on the ground as well as actions for ultimates later in game, adjusting HUD size (it defaults to a painfully tiny font, but i really appreciate the amount of customizations in settings), and filtering loot are important, but manageable. The classes all have subclasses, which make it even more personalizable, and some of the skills even feed off of eachother, which is nice late-game. The couch CO-OP is awesome. 4 Players at the same time! I have no idea why its so hard to find a good 4P RPG, but this is a good one. Enemies are varied, cool random events, straightforward town interaction (with a sell all useless junk button included), AND all players can access menu at the same time. I will call this what it is, which is an excellent addition to any RPG lover's collection. Great Job. Im giving it a solid 4.99999999/5

Late to the game, But very addicting game play must buy!

Love it! Easy to get into and create your own builds. No rush or fomo going on. Hope they keep up with development

solid game while waiting for poe1 updates

BANANAN TERRICOTTER PIE!

The game looks ugly but crazy good.
But be aware this game maybe not for everyone

Good times!

Diablo 2 with worse graphics and character design. At first I was excited. I chose a templar and began my quest, seemed fun at first, but after the second mission started, I realized I had never felt in any real danger. I figured the difficulty would scale later but as time wore on I realized that my character seemed to be able to tank near infinite damage. I would wade through hordes of enemies not even bothering to fight them just looking for the next stairs, the next objective, not even bothering with combat. There is a harder difficulty setting but there are so many enemies that it just does not seem like it would be fun to fight every group of them anyway. The quests just felt tedious....Eventually I got to the end where *SPOILER* the little angry goblin dude has is own realm where he has advanced quests to get better loot and no...little goblin dude, I am not interested.

Better than POE 2

Love the loot. Love the game.

good game

As someone who has sunk almost 40 hours into Chronicon, I can confidently say this game is an absolute blast. Whether you're diving into the main campaign, exploring Mythic dungeons (I just hit Mythic 15), or tackling the DLC expeditions, there's always something engaging to do.

What stands out the most is the game's insanely detailed gear and itemization systems. There's an overwhelming (in a good way) amount of loot, and sorting through it to find the perfect piece feels endlessly rewarding. On top of that, the class customization is top-notch. The sheer variety of skills and build possibilities kept me experimenting with my Berserker for hours, and honestly, I still haven’t settled on a definitive playstyle.

Chronicon offers a fantastic mix of action and depth, making it easy to lose track of time while playing. Whether you're a fan of ARPGs or just looking for a fun way to spend a few hours, this game is definitely worth checking out.

A solid game that should be played by others

Worth the price.

5 minutes of "WTF is this?"
15 minutes of "Oh, I think I get it, but..."
Eventually, you start to see synergies and start trying totally different build ideas. It's amazing. Easily worth it on sale. So many streamlines and conveniences, with customizable auto loot, filters, etc.

chronicon is something of a unique gem in a landscape of nightmarish grind.

I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for an isometric 2.5D pixel sprite videogame made for gamers.

dont like your build?

free respec.

dont like your gear?

LOOTSPLOSIONS!!!

Trust me, even at full price this game is worth the deal.

grab it on sale or else...

Really neat Diablo-like.
Pure grind.

Think Diablo 3 endgame but with actual variety in builds and flexibility

100% recommend, you get your moneys worth and honestly there's so much build variety it's amazing

I am amazed by this game. So many Qol-features that should be a stable in any and all games of this genre. It feels just so good to play this game and whack the monsters.

diablo 3 but good

One of the best ARPGs once you get past the looks.

Honestly, this game is highly comparable to other ARPG's like Grim Dawn, all the Diablo's (except D4, that was horrid), Torchlight 1-2 and Last Epoch. 4 classes, tons of loot, skills, abilities, talent points, quests, maps and highly addicting. Immersive endgame replayability too! Nowhere near as complex as Path of Exile, don't expect that here but does provide a satisfying challenge.

Yes, I will say it, Chronicon is better than Diablo 4. It's just facts!

This game knows how to reward progression, loot, questing, and satisfying combat that AAA action RPG games can't replicate today.

Fun Diablo-style game.

I read the reviews and thought to myself surely these people can’t really think this is one of the best arpgs ever. Well that was before I played the game. I can absolutely agree to that sentiment now. Do yourself a favor and beat the campaign, explore the endgame and dabble in crafting. You’ll see exactly why I feel the way I do.

You know what? I haven't got the friggin foggiest idea on how I ended up with 240 hours of play time on a 2D pixel graphics hack n slash... That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

PS. Yeah I have way more time in this than D3. Just saying.

number go up

It's a good game with large skill-trees and a lot of cool gear

Fun game

This game is like a pixel version of Diablo. Lots of fun.

staple arpg that doesn't waste time, has plenty of qol as well. blow up screens of mobs, loot gear.

It's fine, I imagine it would be great for those on a budget or without a decent PC who are itching for an ARPG. Lots of skill trees, much fun.

good

Chronicon: the loot of Diablo with the mix & match skill system/trees of Grim Dawn, with the pixel art of your favorite pixel art games. This is a DIAMOND in the rough of ARPGs.

Pros:
+ four ENTIRE skill trees per character you can mix/match at will, with skills within those skills you can also mix/match
+ an enormous amount of build-crafting through skills, items, and your mastery skill tree
+ a skill mastery tree that doubles as an EXTRA six skill trees with skills of their own
+ a beefy endgame that feels much like Division 2
+ a comfy, simple soundtrack
+ varied classes each with their own unique abilities
+ the DLC expands on endgame skill trees
+ takes the best part of Diablo 4 but makes it not a nightmare
+ being able to infuse old gear to keep it fresh/upgrade rolls to make them extremely powerful leads to attachment to gear/builds
+ free skill/mastery respec at any time

Cons:
- enchanting/upgrading gear isn't explained super well

20/10: this is the best ARPG I've played this side of Grim Dawn and you should 100% play it.
