What is Chronicon: Survivors?

A 2D fantasy horde survival game based on Chronicon. You fight waves of enemies and bosses in 20-minute rounds, choose weapon upgrades and deity boons, and spend gold on permanent unlocks. Advancing through maps unlocks more characters and gear.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy fast horde fights and repeatable runs
  • +you like unlocking skills and trying different character builds

Not for you if...

  • you want a story-driven action RPG instead of survival runs
  • you prefer slow combat over constant waves of enemies

What players say

54% of 109 reviews are positive

Players praise the Chronicon setting and say the runs become more enjoyable as permanent upgrades unlock. Recent reviews also praise updates to the game. Earlier complaints focus on slow progression and limited build variety; one player reports that an update reset their shrine progress.
