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 skill interactions. While there are minor upgrades available, they do not significantly enhance the overall experience, leading to a sense of stagnation. Users suggest that reviews based on minimal playtime should be viewed with skepticism.
“With it being part of the Chronicon name/universe, I expected cool skill interactions and fun gameplay.”
“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.”
