Our take on Chronicon: Survivors
The defining structure is its 20-minute survival rounds, which combine temporary combat builds with permanent progression between runs.
What is Chronicon: Survivors?
Chronicon: Survivors is a horde-survival action RPG built around 20-minute rounds.
Players fight familiar and new enemies, encounter random events, and face two bosses on each map. Gold earned during play unlocks permanent skills, perks, masteries, and items through a passive tree with over 100 nodes. Deities and restored shrines add Avatars and Boons, which shape builds through elemental effects, triggers, and stat changes. Six increasingly difficult maps unlock additional content, while the full game includes 10 playable characters, 8 maps, 4 modes, 50+ Boons, and 80+ items and weapons. Weapon upgrades offer branching choices such as range, attack speed, or projectile count. Maps can also use modifiers for additional rewards and challenges.
