Enter the Chronosphere

Lots of fun. There's a great deal of weird weapons, it's sortof a little like playing a turn based enter the gungeon - although there is no ammo total to concern yourself with, so it is a lot easier to pick a weapon and stick to it. Sometimes that's great, sometimes it reduces the variance on the run to where it feels a bit samey by the end, but the runs are usually short enough that it's not a huge big problem, and you tend to get offer rarer, weirder, and sometimes more powerful weapons about half way through. Gameplay is moving or shooting or performing some other action, and you never have all that many options to choose from. Instead, how and when you use each of your options determines how well you'll do, and when you're doing well it feels like you're dancing through firestorms and returning fire in a graceful bullet ballet. When you're not doing well it feels like there's dozens of them and only one of you, and owch, and that EXPLODES, how can it possibly explode even more?! Then you retreat next to an explosive barrel and really that was the main mistake and now you're dead, but that's fine too, because another run is always an option, and it'll come with new stuff to try out, and possibly new biomes or enemies to face as well. Audiovisuals are strong, there's great theming, good music, and excellent sounds for all the various destruction happening around you. The art style is vibrant, colourful, and interesting, without ever being too visually distracting. The turn based nature helps a lot with this - you can just slow down and inspect things closer, if you really need to.

好评，但是希望开局能自定义配置的东西再多一些，比如开局有更丰富的武器选择，局内获取物品的关联性再多一些，添加一些比如选项重选，排除，跳过并获得收益之类的。比如这局我想玩爆炸流，那么我整个局内爆炸相关的武器道具就容易出。（参考失落城堡2的幸运草机制）。我现在很想玩近战，但只要想到重开一局的各种不确定性，我就不想再开一局了。 另外可以考虑添加局外成长元素，比如血量，减伤，复活次数，武器选择等，让玩家在场外就能对下一局的玩法做一个规划。让玩家带着我这把变强了，这局我要用近战爽砍的目的重新开始游戏。

前中期很好玩，一路解锁新武器新能力，后期明显乏味了，1.每次获取是二选一，能否获得高质量武器过于看脸了，随着后期解锁了大量高级敌人，很多关低层已经很难处理了。2.游戏完全没有局外成长，打通地牢除了做几个主线任务以外完全没有必要，没有任何收益，玩家缺乏攻略的驱动力。3.作为一个肉鸽游戏应该增加玩家的可控性，增加局外禁选之类的功能，不然局内成型太难，很容易劝退玩家。4.有些比较难用的武器，也缺乏数值补正，你又难用又数值不霸道，怎么让玩家去选。

Really nice game for short rounds. The graphics alone are worth the price (no pixel-art, yayy). Soundtrack is nice as well. The gameplay is a really good idea. (I'm way too old for the stress of bullet-hell games :D ) The round-based gameplay makes it a little more chess-y. In regards to being patient and a little strategic helping you here. The controls are pretty intuitive and easy to understand. No hard boss moves/sequences you have to learn - every enemy move is drawn on the map ahead. The story, though, I have to say is.... there - maybe(?) The characters have a short small-talk after each session. But it's really only a little world-building dressed as a soft soap-like-dialogues. Maybe the "story" will actually be interesting late-game... for now I find myself just clicking through it

Review after 3 hours and have to say i'm hooked. Game play is fun and fluid with a perfect mix of strategy and action. Weapons and combos are fantastic and hit all the right spots to give you that power fantasy when the mods just hit *chefs kiss*. Ticks all the addictive boxes that a roguelike does and leaves you wanting to dive right back in after a session! I've been playing this with an Xbox controller on my TV and it feels spot on. I've already recommended this game to a few friends irl. Very polished for an Early Access Game and definitely worth the $19.99 AUD in it's current state.

I wasn't even aware of the fact that "Chronosphere" is Early Access still. Because: It simply doesn't feel like an unfinished game! Everything already has a state of completeness I totally enjoy. Here are some features I higly like: + A modern approach to turn based games that I haven't seen before except for "Shadwen", where other characters only move when you do, giving you the chance to think about your next action - and evading bullets in "Chronosphere"'s case + Roguelike-elements that do the job of motivating you to explore the next level instead of rushing through, with the ability to get new weapons, new gadgets, modding your equipment and more + A lot of active missions like the "challenges" in other roguelikes, including killing as much enemies, finding a weapon, and so on, always including an unlockable + A set of Accessibility options that really are those, foremost the option to increase UI and text scale, which IS relevant for players like me with a sight handicap. That's well done, and still rare these times I will continue exploring "Chronosphere" in this state already, but being curious for more content, because you can never have enough of that in a roguelike. Already now I can say, this is a new favorite game!

This is an early access title that is absolutely worth supporting - it's in a very polished state already. The combination of genres (turn-based & bullet hell) is heaps of fun, and the roguelike aspects are solid with each run feeling unique for the most part, although there are weapon mods that feel like the obvious pick for the majority of weapons, but maybe that's just my preferences speaking. I quite enjoy the little interludes between runs of the crew bantering with one another, which adds charm and has made me feel surprisingly invested in the story; I'm interested to see where the plot goes next after more updates. Also, this game looks amazing if you have an OLED screen, highly recommend.

Solid Rogue-lite, with a lot of charm. Great art direction and character design combined with a fun combat system that could be described as Hades meets Superhot. The only problems with the current version for me are that the soundtrack is pretty repetitive, and once you figure out the physics of enemy attacks, it becomes pretty easy to avoid everything if you have a decent loadout. I think with some new content this game could have a ton of replayability. New bosses, areas, and more incentive to take mutations would help the difficulty curve keep up with the learning curve for longer. Overall for the price this game is definitely worth it if it looks like the type of thing you would like.
