With studio talent including former Lead Designer of both Diablo and Diablo II, Stieg Hedlund, in the role of Senior Game Designer, behind the game, ChronoBlade will offer a free-to-play console-quality experience on Facebook, and will be coming soon to Ouya, iOS, Android and Smart TVs with cross-platform co-op gameplay.
Players can play the single-player version of the open beta now.
Features:
- ● Visceral combat – The game features side-scrolling hack-and-slash mechanics and tasks players with defeating waves of inter-dimensional enemies with a variety of combos and special abilities.
- ● Deep RPG elements – Full character customization through leveling, skill trees, and epic amounts of loot make for personalized heroes.
- ● Inter-dimensional conflict – Players assume the role of a dimension-hopping hero, bent on preventing the evil Chronarch Imperium from destroying all the worlds of the multiverse.
