Soulslike action RPG Chrono Sword is published by CFK

July 17, 2024

CFK will publish Soulslike action RPG developed by 21c.Ducks Chrono Sword for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC, the companies announced. It will initially be released in 2024 in Early Access for PC via Steam.

Here is an overview of CFK’s game:

Chrono Sword is a Souls-like pixel-art action RPG developed by Korean developer team 21c.Ducks, telling the story of the dark gothic fantasy world of Adelnor, where players must travel between the past and the future to uncover its secrets. First released to the public in 2019, this Souls-like action RPG attracted widespread interest in Korea and abroad due to its unique pixel graphics and gameplay. It was selected as the first game of the 2020 collaboration campaign of North American crowdfunding site Kickstarter and global game testing platform Game Round.Inc, and raised over seventy thousand dollars to successfully reach its funding goal.

Developer 21c.Ducks has submitted Chrono Sword to numerous game shows in Korea and abroad, where it received much praise and awards for its gameplay. The developer then used this as an opportunity to refine the game’s gameplay and level design.

Chrono Sword is not another 3D rendered game like many of the Souls-like action RPGs being released these days, but has been rendered in an isometric pixel art style for this unique Souls-like game. Since 21c.Ducks announced the game, they have put their heart and soul into improving the game’s storyline and the features that make it a Souls-like action RPG.

Chrono Sword is spread across a vast, three-dimensional land rendered entirely in pixel art style. Once inside, players embark on a “journey through time” where they can travel back and forth between the past, present, and future, switching between maps seamlessly without loading screens.

In addition, the game features a number of systems that include the hard hits on enemies and players that are typical of the Souls-like genre, but with faster and more intense action. Details on the improvements to Chrono Sword will be announced at a later date.
