Enter the Chronosphere, the psychedelic turn-based bullet hell roguelike developed by Effort Star and published by Joystick Ventures, steps through a wormhole to emerge with a new demo on PC via Steam ahead of the Turn-Based RPG Fest. Take on time itself Monday, Sept. 30 to Monday, Oct. 7, now with support for Simplified Chinese, French, and German languages.
First time in the Chronosphere? Things may look hectic, what with all those enemies and their complicated attack patterns flying everywhere, but time only moves when you move. Becoming an action hero doesn’t require fast reflexes, just the ability to think two steps ahead.
Did you just dodge roll out of the way of fire…but into a more dangerous spot? Is it worth taking this shot when other enemy attacks are flying in? Should you spend a turn charging up a special ability? Perhaps you should wait a turn in safety to see what the enemies do next? These moment-to-moment decisions lie at the heart of this one-of-a-kind roguelike genre fusion.
Played Enter the Chronosphere at PAX East or as part of previous drops on Steam? Dive back in and explore the just-added Bellusect, a new biome buzzing with violent insects eager to implant eggs into any living host. Discover a whole evolutionary chain from baby larva buried in bodies to insectoid demiqueens. Wield living weapons, dismembered ovipositors and acid-spewing armaments to exterminate evolving pests.
Discover exciting new synergies with these new weapons in the Bellusect, combining them with character-specific abilities like with Urtar the Bearzerker, whose Kinetic Surge can send enemies flying. Or play as Marcia, who can dodge roll and deal extra damage when her health gets low, with other characters in the works. Enter the Chronosphere may not require fast reflexes, but don’t rest on your laurels: this demo won’t be around forever…
Confront new challenges in Enter the Chronosphere’s newly updated demo available now during Steam’s Turn-Based RPG Fest from Monday, Sept. 30 - Monday, Oct. 7.
