Chrono Blade is set in a parallel reality where Earth is under siege by an alien race capable of breaking through the boundaries of reality and invading other worlds. Players create a hero and fight back against these reality-bending aliens. Each hero has over 30 attacks which can be combined in various ways to form chain-attacks.
These aren’t nostalgia grabs or gimmick-laden throwbacks. They each bring something genuinely fresh to the table, mechanics that feel baked into the exploration and combat, not just tacked on.
Play as Dik, a nimble acrobat exploring the depths of Hell to rescue his brother from the Devil’s hands. With no weapons to rely on, success hinges on mastery of physics-driven movement, and quick adaptation to deadly obstacles.

If it ain't a Chrono Trigger sequel, fuck it.
