This is mostly fine other than some instances where the camera freaks out or when you can’t see items very well due to the shift in perspective. The original release had fixed camera angles and this one switches to third-person. It’s a nifty idea, even if it means that players that are bad at the game can screw themselves.Ĭhronos: Before the Ashes is very much worth playing five years later. An old character will need to do the inverse. A young character will spend one point on strength to level it up and three points on magic. The main difference that age makes other than cosmetic changes is that it dictates how many points it takes to level up stats. You can’t lose your save, though, as each new decade of age grants perks and the only one you get at 80 is immortality. You start the game at 18 and can age until you hit 80. When you die in Chronos: Before the Ashes, your character ages a year. Much like Remnant, the story isn’t all that interesting. There’s plenty of lore to be found and dialogue is fully voice-acted. Along the way, your player character, whose sex you choose at the start, has their arm mutated by a tree creature who gives them magic abilities to aid them in fighting the dragon. In order to fight the dragon, Chronos: Before the Ashes has you dispatch different guardians that live in three different places.

You play as a person who is destined to slay a dragon for the supposed betterment of the world. This game’s setup is as standard as action-adventure games come. It should be noted that they’re incredibly different games though. There are World Stones, mentions of the Wards, and general stylistic similarities. This game is certainly similar to its successor in numerous ways. As that game ended up being much better known than its older sibling, Gunfire is making that connection more obvious this time around. More specifically, the original game created the world and Remnant came to fruition later.

Chronos: Before the Ashes has a subtitle added to bill it as a prequel to Gunfire Games’ later title, Remnant: From the Ashes.
