About
In Ebonheim, a land pillaged and trampled by foreign empires, a light is growing. It seeks to burn bright once again, to rebalance divinity, and to return the lost.
Chronicles 4 is a classic CRPG and Roguelike from a bygone era. Set out into the land of Ebonheim and face difficult tactical combat challenges with a deep and varied turn-based battle system. When you die, the light passes to another vessel to carry on your task. Use the memories and lost gear of your fallen predecessors to progress deeper into a brutal and unforgiving landscape.
