Chronicle Survivors

Honestly at the moment I can't really say I'd enjoy the game as is. As someone who plays a lot of roguelikes, it might just be that I'm spoiled, but being forced to play on keyboard is extremely awkward, especially with the control setup as it is at the time I'm writing this review. The game itself is insanely loud but there is no volume control in-game so you have to go into your computer's sound settings to turn down the volume of the game itself, which kind of ruins the experience even more. When you open the settings menu, you can tell the emphasis was put more on the visuals than anything else. The opening menu is ruined by the choice in font (white Roboto font with a black outline) which is as plain as can be. It is a shame because everything else I saw and heard when I first opened the game definitely left an interesting first impression on me. However, I will admit this is most likely just a nitpick on my part. It's just extremely jarring to have this insanely detailed background and then flat white text being the first thing you see. As for gameplay, yeah, the game does hit those basic checkmarks and is definitely something worth considering in the future. However, there…

At the moment there is little playable. In general, it is not clear how coins are accrued on global progression, I thought that when a character dies coins are simply not accrued, but gave 15 when I lost. At the same time for the passed map accrued only 2, although it was collected 60 +. The same enemy runs at different speeds, dead enemies do damage until they disappear, in general is not clear. You can not change the control, it is not convenient to press run on WASD and press Q and E. In general, at the moment its money is not worth it, let's hope that patches will fix the controversial issues and give finally the control under themselves to reassign.

In current build collecting coins doesnt work. I am pretty sure low frames happen to me becease its in unreal engine once Litch lookalike it jump between 10-20 maybe lower. I lowered everything but screen scaling at 70%. i got GTX 1070 8gb. (more enemies , more projectiles , more processes , more load to the engine or your PC). The dodge dash - enemies will damage if you go through or near them. Some special abilities specific to character doesnt work. I would say this is early access or beta.

I do not recommend

An excellent roguelike RPG that is fairly hardcore, bomb rushers won't let you relax once you get to 5+ minutes into the game! This isn't a typical survivors title where you defeat 100 enemies every second, but rather a game that pressures you into skillfully avoiding enemies while defeating them to control population, especially once you get to warlocks, that summon additional enemies. Progression system is okay for early access and overall the game hits all the basics, graphics are great too. Might be a bit too difficult for inexperienced RPG players though, but DOTA folks should be able to test their limits and feel right at home :)

Don't buy, it's abandoned.
