Back in 2016, Gunfire Games released Chronos - a VR RPG featuring a unique aging system where every time your character died, they aged one year. This resulted in you gradually adopting a slower, more magic-focused playstyle as your character became wiser but more frail. Then, last year, Gunfire released Remnant: From the Ashes, a Dark Souls-inspired action-RPG with some third-person shooting thrown in the mix.
And now, we get Chronos: Before the Ashes, a remake of Chronos that no longer requires a VR headset and is positioned as a prequel to Remnant. You can purchase the game on Steam or grab it for your PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch for $29.99, explore its treacherous labyrinth, grow older, and learn how it connects to the post-apocalyptic world of Remnant.
Here’s the official release trailer:
And a quick video that goes over the game’s premise and basic mechanics:
