The gameplay in this "survivor" game is criticized for lacking depth and failing to effectively implement its core mechanics, leaving players wanting more engaging quests and item interactions. While there are minor upgrades available, they do not significantly enhance the overall experience, leading to a repetitive gameplay loop. Players express hope for future updates to improve the gameplay dynamics.
“With it being part of the Chronicon name/universe, I expected cool skill interactions and fun gameplay.”
“Gameplay loop”
“The basic mechanics of a 'survivor' game are there, but this game doesn't get it right at all.”
“Maybe you'll reach 10% or 15% more of everything on the whole tree, but the gameplay remains the same regardless since those are insignificant upgrades.”
“Hope we can have other gameplay, quests, and items in future updates.”

The graphics in the game have received criticism for lacking resolution and options, resulting in abilities that feel weak and visually unimpressive compared to the original Chronicon. Additionally, issues with oversized hitboxes detract from the overall experience, suggesting a need for improvement in visual fidelity and gameplay mechanics.

“The character designs are beautifully crafted, showcasing a unique art style that sets this game apart from others in the genre.”
“The environments are richly detailed, creating an immersive atmosphere that draws you into the game and makes exploration a joy.”
“No resolution or other graphics options. Abilities feel and look weak, which is strange because the abilities in the original Chronicon feel meaty and look great. Hitboxes are way too big... I could go on.”
