Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a combat-light RPG may bounce off the frequent battles and eight bosses.
- Players who prefer fixed puzzle solutions may tire of answers changing with every new game.
- Players looking for a non-fantasy setting may not fit the castle, elemental magic, and fantasy enemies.
Our take on Kronos
The clearest bounce point is the puzzle system: players who prefer memorized solutions will need to search for and combine items again because answers change with every new game. Hero Difficulty adds another hurdle for players who find the standard combat demanding.
What is Kronos?
Kronos is a fantasy action RPG set across more than 30 castle areas.
Gameplay combines combat, exploration, item customization, leveling, crafting, alchemy, spellcasting, and logical puzzles. The hero can use swords, axes, maces, bows, arrows, rings, armor, helmets, and shields, with 33 talents shaping character development. The game includes more than 50 enemy types, 8 bosses, and 20 spells from Fire, Ice, Earth, and Electric elements. Players can craft potions and special arrows, and enchant weapons with alchemy.
