    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is fast-paced and varied with a cool art style and music, but many find it repetitive and lacking depth, especially in the skill tree which offers minimal impact. While basic survivor mechanics are present, the overall experience feels generic and less engaging compared to other similar games. Some users hope for future updates to introduce more diverse gameplay, quests, and items.

    • “The gameplay is fast, varied, the music is cool and I really like the art style.”
    • “Just make sure you're paying attention to the subtle differences in mechanics compared to other vs clones, and eventually you'll be killing thousands of enemies with ease.”
    • “Hope we can have other gameplay, quests and items in future updates.”
    • “The gameplay loop is also mostly the same from start to finish.”
    • “Instead, what I found was very generic survivors gameplay with an exceptionally lackluster skill tree that for the most part has little effect on gameplay.”
    • “The basic mechanics of a 'survivor' game are there, but this game doesn't get it right at all.”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics have a distinctive, nostalgic "Chronicon" style that some players appreciate, though they feel outdated and less polished compared to similar titles.

    • “The gameplay is fast, varied, the music is cool and I really like the art style.”
    • “If you like the genre and you have fond feelings for Chronicon's janky graphical style, you'll probably enjoy this one.”
    • “To be honest, the only thing about this game that screams 'Chronicon' is the graphics.”
    • “To be honest the only thing about this game that screams 'Chronicon' is the graphics.”
    • “No resolution or other graphics options, abilities feel and look weak (which is so strange - the abilities in the original Chronicon feel meaty and look great), hitboxes are way too big... I could go on.”

    • “The game starts fun but becomes very grindy.”
