Story

What happens in a world where the last evil lies dead, the last quest is completed, and the last chest has been opened?

In this world, the long-dead Heroes of Old are forever remembered and honored through a great magical device. This device, known only as the Chronicon, is capable of opening a portal into the memories – the very souls – of the Heroes of Old. Each year, a handful men and women are given the great honor to re-live the old tales.
And this year, you have been chosen…

Note: Trailer footage and screenshots are of high level characters with decent equipment. Expect a slower pace at first.

A fun ARPG that can be played anywhere. Quick to jump in for short play sessions or long grinds. Its a nice mindless grindy game I like to play while watching/ listening to something else. gives off diablo vibes.

This game is incredible, some of the best loot ever. Tons of fun, I wasn't sure if I liked the set style at first but I definitely do after all. This and grim dawn are basically the only arpgs you need currently

TLDR: If you like ARPGs, crafting, build diversity, endgame, LOOT, zoomy bullet hell combat, endless progression -- BUY THIS GAME! As a veteran player of ARPGs, dating back to the OG Diablo 1 -- I gotta say that

This is a great ARPG. Don't let the pixel graphics fool you, this game has depth, great QoL and it's so fun. You can experiment with builds with no penalty, so try whatever you want whenever you want. I would highly
