The top-down dungeon crawler genre never ceases to captivate, offering thrilling experiences from vibrant technicolor to gritty mudcore aesthetics. Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon aims to redefine the franchise with a mix of both styles, embracing a crunchy pixellated roguelite that fans have enjoyed on Apple Arcade. Now, the wait is over as this title is set for a wide-scale release on iOS, Android, and Steam later this year.
Set 200 years after the events of the second game, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon introduces roguelite co-op elements, allowing up to four players to team up. Dive deep into the labyrinth to uncover the Paradigm Hourglass and possibly alter the fractured world around you. With the ability to switch classes on the fly, the game offers a dynamic and engaging experience.
With its 16-bit pixel art and randomized dungeons, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon feels like a nostalgic nod to classic Zelda games, while still holding up visually even years after its initial release. The timeless nature of its visuals ensures a lasting appeal.
Excitingly, the upcoming widespread release appears to be the Golden Edition, initially released on Apple Arcade in 2022. This version promises an enhanced experience with an additional town, new NPCs, and other enriching content, setting the stage for a definitive version of Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon.
