The gameplay has been criticized for lacking depth and variety, with players noting that upgrades feel insignificant and do not enhance the overall experience. Many express a desire for more engaging quests, skill interactions, and items in future updates, as the current mechanics do not fully capture the essence of a "survivor" game. Overall, the gameplay loop is seen as repetitive and in need of improvement.
“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.”

The graphics in the game have received criticism for lacking resolution and customization options, leading to a perception of weak and unappealing abilities compared to the original Chronicon. Additionally, oversized hitboxes detract from the overall visual experience, making it feel less polished and immersive.
“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.”
