Souls of Chronos is an indie RPG developed by FUTU Studios and published by Astrolab Games. The game consists of chibi styled characters you’ll control to explore a town and engage in action combat. Upon first seeing the trailer, I was intrigued by its adorable visuals and backdrop. The character designs look delightful, and the desire for adventure is right up my alley. Is Souls of Chronos a hidden gem, a forgetful experience, or somewhere in between? Let’s get into it.
Souls of Chronos draws a lot of inspiration from RPGs of the past. However, its focus on poverty and the way oppression and crime can choke the life out of a community feels unique. Astella is not doing well, and Sid is both a victim and part of the problem. You can decide whether to accept this harsh reality or struggle against it. This isn’t the first title to look harshly at the cycle of poverty, but it does feel genuine.
The core of Souls of Chronos is its gameplay, which is clearly meant to be a pretty standard hack-and-slash affair with Torii and Sid. Sid can use a variety of guns and swords, while Torii has her own particular techniques and cannot be directly controlled. Both of them can be customized, though, Sid through his equipment and upgrades to same, and Torii through how you place her skill points after each level up.
Moving into combat, it surprised me with how simple and bland it felt. The main combat system consists primarily of engaging combatants with Sid using a primary weapon. Once unlocked, a secondary weapon for alternating attacks becomes available. I didn’t go for other weapons or try out different loadouts, as the gun and sword both feel the same. There isn’t a noticeable reach advantage between one or the other either. Since the sword does more damage, I stuck with that.
Souls of Chronos has a lot going for it. The city of Astella is lovingly realized, for example. And while the dungeons can get repetitive, their design is nice. It’s very difficult to get lost, even in the sewers. Some of the environments are absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, while the UI is pretty, the map can be hard to navigate. It’s tricky to explore Astella for the first time. Trying to figure out which arrow on the screen leads to which icon on the map is frustrating.
While the music is nothing to write home about, the sound design is quite well-done. Footsteps echo appropriately, swings and impacts feel meaty and substantive, and I generally enjoyed listening to moving through and interacting with the world. I also liked that the designers did add nice little effects throughout the game, like little visual flair for character footsteps or opening things. It’s a small touch, but I noticed it and I liked it.
Souls of Chronos isn’t the next indie darling that everyone should play, but it also shouldn’t be discarded. It just feels frustrating because I see the potential the game has. For twenty dollars, it’s okay, but I am hopeful that a sequel will allow the story, characters, and gameplay to be fully fleshed out and achieve the success Souls of Chronos could have.
