Game Introduction
"Chronos" is a VR version of RPG created by Gunfire Games. This team has assembled many "Dark Blood" developers. "Chronos" is an adventure game with a strong atmosphere. It records the story of a hero fighting against dragons to save their homeland. The most impressive aspect of this game is that the characters of the game's characters will change with age.
The adventures of the "Chronos" game revolve around an ancient maze with hidden secrets that calm the homeland of the heroes. However, this labyrinth is only opened once in a year. The maze is a trial. Once it fails, the hero will be driven out of the labyrinth and will not be allowed to enter until the opening hours of the second year.
The development of Chronos's plot influences the gameplay. The protagonist gradually grows. He learns from the mistakes he makes and learns from the exploration of caves, graveyards and sites. He will become a stronger and more experienced warrior. Therefore, the player must adapt to changes in the character's physical body, from agile dexterity in the beginning, to the most intelligent and magical.
Actual experience
After several hours of intense and nerve-wracking labyrinth exploration, I came to the end of the corridor. The corridor was dark and my heart thundered in my ears. I have been defeated and have been expelled from the maze several times. At the beginning of the game, my character was a young man, but now I have become a 40-year-old middle-aged man with a beard and a change of voice. What's worse is that I was surrounded and four enemies surrounded me. My back was against the wall and I was about to be killed.
Fortunately, I instinctively approached and avoided the incoming attacks. Then I counterattacked and blocked the attack that came once again with a shield, and counterattacked again, which caused my mana to be full. I quickly ignited my axe with raging fire, and waved the axe violently attacking the four enemies around me. Eventually I conquered the enemy's gangs and relieved with relief.
In fact, such cruel, intense and ruthless moments are common in Chronos games. When you overcome the difficulties and dive deeper into the dungeon, you can save your dragons by saving them.
The game background of Chronos is set in the distant future, and it also combines reality with fantasy elements such as magic and mythical characters with special effects, as well as opponents that look like robots. This setting is unique and attractive. In fact, "Chronos" is a copy of "The Legend of Zelda," and we see that everything is very similar to Link, except that the man has less green hat.
Poor virtual reality experience
In the "Chronos" game, players experience the entire game story from a third-person perspective. You cannot watch the game world with your own eyes. On the contrary, like the old game "Resident Evil" or the new game "God of War", when entering each room, the player's perspective is fixed and cannot be changed.
In theory, the player’s perspective must not change too much, otherwise it may produce dizziness and nausea. In the actual experience, this is indeed the case. When I turn or move, I feel dizzy and nauseous.
And since "Chronos" is a game with a third-person perspective, it does not bring immersive VR experiences like any other VR game. It can be said that "Chronos" is a fascinating game, but it has not been able to really make full use of virtual reality as a medium, thus detracting from its gaming experience.
Of course, this does not mean that third-person games cannot be run on virtual reality devices. Of course, Lucky's Tale fully proves this.
Special settings
As an RPG game, "Chronos" allows players to gain experience and improve the game level by defeating enemies, which can be used to increase the player's power, agility, magic or vitality. At the same time, in the "Chronos" game, the development of the plot will also affect the gameplay. As the protagonist gradually grows, he will become stronger by learning from caverns, cemeteries, and ruins. Experienced warrior.
As you age, the player's facial hair, hair color, and sound change. Therefore, the player must adapt to changes in the character's physical body, from agile dexterity in the beginning, to the most intelligent and magical.
Lack of customizability
However, it is regrettable that the whole game of "Chronos" is lack of customizability, you can never find other clothes or armor for the characters, and even the choice of weapons is also very few.
Because of the lack of weapons or armor options, players must spend a lot of time to really grasp the nuances of the Chronos combat system, and decide which equipment to use in the light and heavy attacks to fight back, and even when File, block, or dodge are all at your fingertips.
In general, it takes players more than 12 hours to clear Chronos once.
Final evaluation: (good)
Although "Chronos" is a good game, it is an action game with a third-person perspective. It is not always enjoyable to experience, and it does not allow players to really feel immersive. Simply speaking as a game, "Chronos" is not bad, but if it comes to virtual reality experience, then it is much less.
