The top-down dungeon crawler genre continues to captivate gamers with its thrilling gameplay, whether it's through vibrant colors or gritty atmospheres. Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon aims to refresh the beloved franchise with a mix of both aesthetics. If you're already familiar with this crunchy pixelated roguelite, you'll be excited to know that its exclusivity to Apple Arcade is coming to an end. Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon is set for a wide release on iOS, Android, and Steam later this year.
Set 200 years after the events of the second game, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon introduces roguelite co-op elements, allowing up to four players to team up. Players can switch classes on the fly as they delve into the labyrinthine depths to uncover the Paradigm Hourglass and possibly find a way to mend the fractured world around them.
With its 16-bit pixel art and randomized dungeons, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon feels like a nostalgic nod to classic Zelda games, yet it remains visually appealing years after its initial release. The timeless nature of its visuals ensures it holds up well over time.
Fans of the series have more to look forward to, as the upcoming release appears to be the Golden Edition previously exclusive to Apple Arcade since 2022. This version includes an additional town, new NPCs, and other enhancements, promising a comprehensive and definitive gaming experience when Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon finally launches.
