Time Break Chronicles

Yes, the game is good to satisfy your ADD, ADHD, OCD and all that good jazz. But for the love of god PUT IN MORE / BETTER MUSIC! (If you buy this, I personally recommend listning to clair obscure music in background instead)

Is good

Pretty good, but could use some improvements. Learning curve 6/10: While the in-game instructions are pretty good, they're incomplete. There's occasionally mechanic quirks that it doesn't explain completely. You'll be spending some time figuring out how abilities are best used and how to build an effective party. Combat 8/10: This is the main gameplay component. Each combat will require you to pay attention; the game leans hard into damage types, status effects, and chaining reactions, While the complexity ramps up reasonably, the difficulty scaling of Elite fights needs some work, particularly in the early game. For some fights you're going to wipe and have to come back with a different party. Characters can be set to auto, but it's not like you'd see in classic Final Fantasy where you put it on auto and it just attacks constantly; instead a character set to auto is run with an AI. The combat speed can be toggled on the fly between 1x, 2x, 3x, and 4x. Story (English) 3/10: The story exists, the spelling is fine, and the grammar is about 95%+ correct. Character dialogue is occasionally a little stilted. It's not complex, and seems to be mostly of incidental. Rougelite 6…

I have contained Infinity, I should move on to other games. * * * Unless...

Absolute blast. They cut out all the bs and this game is straight roguelike strategy and fun while you collect new characters and make strong builds!

If you enjoy turn-based combat and crafting builds then this game punches far above its weight class—just don't a proper story. The core gameplay involves pitting six party members against increasingly infuriating (in a good way) enemy encounters. Your overpowered spellcaster can and will be thwarted by a slasher that kills them before they even get a turn, or perhaps a mage that reflects spell damage AND casts the same spell back at your team. What's truly impressive is that each of the 100 characters has a distinct playstyle which can be further molded with relics. Chronicle Mode is your "story" mode where you have persistent town upgrades, characters, and relics which you'll bring into randomized runs through 6 acts. There are generic/boss relics and every character also has two unique relics which can be unlocked for unlimited duplication by completing themed missions for that character (e.g. copy 7 unique skills with the mimic). Singularity Mode is a roguelike mode where each run is separate and you're simply unlocking more stuff that can randomly appear in future runs. You can get tons of playtime between both modes, though the vast majority of mine was spent in Chronicle Mod…
