Two characters max leveled.

Chronicon is a fast-paced refinement of the Diablo-style ARPG. Combat is propelled briskly forward by efficient level design and killstreak bonuses. I can't comment on the story as I found the scrolling text to be an absolute chore; however, even skipping all dialogue the varied settings and enemy designs are still enjoyably thematic.

The game is generous with respecs and quality-of-life features which massively increase the flexibility of class building during the story mode. The endgame is extremely rewarding and deep, although I was disappointed to find that the Ancient Beasts DLC is buried many hours past the end of story mode. I typically don't engage with post-story content at all, so my enjoyment of a few hours of the endgame on each of my characters was quite a surprise to me.

Putting together a build is uncomplicated and melting through packs of mobs almost has an auto-clicker quality to it. Overall this is a breezy and straightforward take on Diablo with very satisfying flow-state combat.
