Chronos: Before the Ashes


When playing Chronos: Before the Ashes, my initial impression was that it’s basically baby’s first Souls-like, although as I dwelled upon it, I began to wonder… Is Chronos even a Souls-like? While “Souls-like” is a famously nebulous sub-genre, Chronos certainly feels like a Souls-like on the surface. It’s an action RPG with a stamina system and penalty for dying. That’s enough for a Souls-like! Right?
