What is Assassin’s Creed® Chronicles: China?

This 2.5D side-scrolling stealth action game takes place in China in 1526, as Shao Jun returns to avenge and restore her fallen Assassin Brotherhood.

For you if...

  • +you like planning routes around guards and avoiding detection
  • +you enjoy platforming across side-scrolling environments with layered paths

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer open-world exploration to linear side-scrolling levels
  • −you want direct combat to carry most encounters
