Chronocide

Chronocide is a third-person action game where you fight massive undead hordes with weapons, traps and physics-driven hazards. Play solo or in co-op for up to four players, using smart positioning, timing and teamwork to survive wave after wave. You can freeze enemies, cut them up, launch them into spikes or burn entire hordes.

Set traps and adapt

Build deadly setups, lure enemies into hazards and trigger physics-driven chaos. Your plans may work or collapse, so you need to improvise when defenses fall apart. Chronocide rewards planning and mastery, while also encouraging you to try unconventional strategies and see what happens.

Choose a hero

The four heroes have different play styles and complement one another:

• Waldis the wizard: uses elemental magic and projectile weapons.
• Rolanda the paladin: provides support and buffs, and holds the frontline.
• Mike the soldier: focuses on precise gunplay and ranged pressure.
• Anthia the necromancer: uses spells and summoned minions.

In co-op, you can mix and match roles to create team synergies.

Progress through the campaign

Complete levels to earn stars and upgrade your characters and gear. Unlock items, improve abilities and refine your strategies as the challenge increases. Replay levels to improve your rewards if you are missing stars. The game is challenging, but you can switch to casual difficulty for a less demanding experience, with fewer star rewards.

The campaign unlocks additional game modes as you progress. The current Early Access version includes the first act; the planned base game is set to contain three acts forming the main story arc. More traps, weapons and other items become available as you advance through the acts.
