What happens in a world where the last evil lies dead, the last quest is completed, and the last chest has been opened?

In this world, the long-dead Heroes of Old are forever remembered and honored through a great magical device. This device, known only as the Chronicon, is capable of opening a portal into the memories – the very souls – of the Heroes of Old.

For those who want to buy as cheap as possible

The Early Access price will remain with a small launch discount for a few days, to give everyone who's been waiting for full release a last chance to pick it up at lower price point. Afterwards, the game price will increase a few dollars to its intended full price.

This looks amazing! Bought!

I was wondering the very same

 

[Deku]

From what I undertand from the statement is that the early access price will remain, but it will also be on sale when it leaves early access. After the sale, the price will increase

 

[Deku]

Should have left early access now, and there is a 10% off sale price of the still early access price

Chronicon is a great aRPG, but the balancing is completely broken at the moment. I'm playing with a brand new character on Epic difficulty, and I'm breezing through the game without dying or even having to use a health potion. The developer says the story is meant to be easy and that the real challenge can be found in the end game content. I really don't understand this. Why do I have to complete a 40 hour story first before getting any challenge in a game? Diablo 3 had the same problem, which is the reason why I quit playing after Act 2.

I'm 4 hours in and I've had to use potions for some... elite? Champion? Dunno what they're called here, fights. On the difficulty right above normal. However, I'm just testing the waters so far, and I'm playing berserker, so not some class I can keep out of range with

The one legendary item I've had drop was a comical spike in damage. So far it's fun. I like D3 a lot but I like being able to play this with a controller. I look forward to when I can filter out even more loot as I get higher level.

 

[Ge0force]

I've switched to Legendary difficulty (the highest available) and I've died 2 times so far. I'm only having problems against enemies with high lightning resistance, because my attacks are 100% lightning based. Too bad, because the game is awesome. I'm halfway in act 3.
