About the Game

Chrono Tower is a soulslike command RPG built around intense 1-on-1 mind games.
Predict your enemy’s next move, choose the most advantageous response, raise your win rate, and strike the killing blow.

Guard beats weak attacks, parry beats strong attacks, and evade beats magic.
Your win rate shifts throughout battle, and when it reaches 100%, you can instantly kill your opponent.
With this unique system, every fight becomes a tense battle of prediction rather than a simple race to deplete HP.

Build your own playstyle through stat allocation, equipment, skills, and magic.
Focus on defense, maximize damage, or expand your tactical options with more skills and spells.
Climb the tower your own way.

The protagonist possesses the power to glimpse the near future and ventures into a tower where time itself has fallen into chaos.
Discover the truth behind the world cursed by time, and defeat the one waiting at the summit.

Story

Two nations were at war: Arsonia and Jumira.

Jumira was on the verge of collapse. On the eve of its capital’s fall, a time spell was activated from the tower where Jumira had long pursued its research.
The moment it was cast, the course of history changed.

The people of Jumira disappeared without a trace. Arsonia rejoiced in victory, but before long, it discovered a horrifying truth.

No one would ever grow old again.
No child would ever be born again.

This phenomenon became known as the Curse of Time.
Many soldiers were sent into the tower in search of a solution, but none of them ever came back.
