About Charon's Crossing
Charon's Crossing is a Game & Watch-inspired arcade game in which you play Charon, the mythic ferryman. You guide the souls of the departed safely through the Underworld’s rivers while avoiding obstacles and foes that try to stop you.
Cross the rivers
You travel through five rivers: Lethe, Acheron, Cocytus, Phlegethon and Styx. Each has its own challenges, and you must use skill and make decisions as you evade obstacles and battle foes to deliver the souls.
Choose power-ups
After each completed stage, Hermes offers a brief respite at his shop. There, you can buy power-ups to help with the journey, including options to bolster your health or manipulate time. Choose enhancements to suit your strategy and help ensure the souls’ safe passage.
Pixel-art arcade action
The game combines minimalist pixel-art graphics with classic 8-bit soundscapes and tunes.
