The top-down dungeon crawler genre is beloved for its thrilling gameplay, whether you're slashing through enemies in vibrant colors or navigating through darker, grittier settings. Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon seeks to revitalize the franchise with a blend of both styles, and it's finally breaking out of its Apple Arcade exclusivity to hit iOS, Android, and Steam later this year.
Originally a staple on Apple Arcade, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon is now set for a broader release, which is exciting news for fans. Set 200 years after the events of the second game, this installment introduces roguelite elements and supports co-op gameplay for up to four players. Players can switch classes on the fly as they delve into the labyrinthine depths in search of the Paradigm Hourglass, hoping to alter the fractured world around them.
With its 16-bit pixel art and procedurally generated dungeons, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon evokes a nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic Zelda games. Despite being a few years old, its visuals remain timeless and appealing. Fans can look forward to the Golden Edition, which was initially released on Apple Arcade in 2022. This version includes an additional town, new NPCs, and other enhancements, promising a comprehensive experience when it launches on mobile and PC.
