They continued, saying, “We appreciate the valuable opinions submitted by our players and will continue to use them to make an even better version of Chrono Sword. We hope you’ll continue showing your interest and opinions in the future.
Alongside this, the developer is featuring Chrono Sword in the Steam fall sale, giving players a good chance to pick up Chrono Sword at a discount with this update.
Details about the contents of the first update patch will be announced on the day of the update.
21c Ducks plans to follow this first update with new updates every three months. Through these updates, players will be able to experience a new version of Chrono Sword, fleshed out with advanced gameplay and rich new content.
Chrono Sword is a pixel art soulslike action RPG developed by Korean dev team 21c Ducks that tells the story of the dark gothic fantasy world of Adelnor, where players must travel between the past and future to unlock its secrets. It has successfully garnered much interest through various on and offline events, receiving favorable reviews after its release to Steam Early Access.
Chrono Sword isn’t another 3D-rendered game like many of the soulslike action RPGs released these days, instead rendered in an isometric pixel art style for this unique soulslike. Since 21c Ducks announced the game, they’ve shown a heart and soul commitment to elevating the game’s storyline and the features that make it a soulslike action RPG.
Chrono Sword spans a vast land splayed out in three dimensions, all rendered in its pixel art style. Once inside, players will embark on a ‘journey through time,’ able to venture between the past, present, and future, switching between maps seamlessly with no loading screens. Developer 21c Ducks has submitted Chrono Sword to a number of game shows in Korea and abroad, where it was praised and awarded a number of times for its gameplay. The developer then used this as a chance to refine the gameplay and level design within the game.
In addition, the game features a variety of systems that incorporate the heavy enemy and player hits common to the soulslike genre, but with the action made faster and more intense.
