The top-down dungeon crawler genre continues to captivate gamers with its thrilling combat and immersive worlds, whether vibrant or gritty. Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon aims to breathe new life into the beloved franchise with a mix of both styles. Initially a staple on Apple Arcade, this crunchy pixellated roguelite is now breaking its exclusivity to hit 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. The game offers the flexibility to switch classes on the fly as you delve into the labyrinthine depths in search of the Paradigm Hourglass—a key to potentially altering the fractured world around you.

With its 16-bit pixel art and procedurally generated dungeons, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon evokes a nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic Zelda games. Despite its years since initial release, the game's timeless visuals ensure it remains visually appealing.

Excitingly, the upcoming widespread release appears to be the Golden Edition that was previously exclusive to Apple Arcade in 2022. This version promises an enriched experience with an additional town, new NPCs, and other enhancements, setting the stage for a definitive version of Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon.
