Chronos: Before the Ashes Download PC

Chronos is a 2016 role-playing game developed and published by Gunfire Games for the Oculus Rift virtual reality (VR) headset. 

The game received generally positive reviews upon release. An overhauled version of the game, titled Chronos: Before the Ashes was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Stadia on December 1, 2020.

Gameplay

The game is a role-playing game viewed from a third-person perspective, though the game only has a fixed camera similar to the early Resident Evil games. 

In the game, the player assumes control of a customizable protagonist, who is on a quest to kill a dragon inside a labyrinth. The game's combat mainly involves slashing enemies with melee weapons while fending off hostile attacks with a shield. 

Should the player die when they are exploring, they can only reenter the labyrinth one in-game year later, and the player character will age, which alters the character's attributes. 

As the player progresses in the game, they will solve puzzles, acquire new weapons and unlock magical powers. As the player earns experience, they will level up which allows them to improve the player character's attributes including strength, agility, arcane, and vitality.

Development

The game was the first title released by Gunfire Games, which was founded by David Adams, the founder of Vigil Games who have created the Darksiders series.
