The top-down dungeon crawler genre is beloved for its thrilling gameplay, whether it's battling through enemies in vibrant colors or gritty, muddy environments. Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon aims to refresh the franchise with a mix of both styles. If you're already familiar with this crunchy, pixelated roguelite, you'll be excited to know that its exclusivity to Apple Arcade is ending. Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon is set for a wide release on iOS, Android, and Steam later this year.
This game, set 200 years after the events of the second game, introduces roguelite co-op elements and supports up to four players. You can switch classes on the fly as you delve into the labyrinthine depths to uncover the Paradigm Hourglass and possibly find a way to mend the fractured world around you.
With its 16-bit pixel art and randomized dungeons, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon feels like a nostalgic nod to classic Zelda games. Even years after its initial release, the game's visuals remain appealing, thanks to their timeless quality.
Fans will be thrilled to learn that the upcoming widespread release appears to be the Golden Edition, which was previously exclusive to Apple Arcade in 2022. This version includes an additional town, new NPCs, and other enhancements, promising a comprehensive experience when Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon launches.
