At £24.99, Chronos: Before the Ashes is well priced, it’s not up to the standards of a full-priced game, but it’s certainly better than many in this price point.
You may find yourself wasting time working out what to do, but there’s a great sense of achievement as the story unfolds and the ageing mechanic is a novel stance which works well, even if it’s let down by the overall difficulty (or lack of) once you’ve levelled up past the first few hours.
I can certainly recommend Chronos: Before the Ashes, while it has a fair few weaknesses, every negative was well balanced with the overall progression.
Gameplay – 7.5
