Crayon Chronicles follows old school roguelike gameplay, similar to that seen in Shiren and Mystery Dungeon; for every action taken by the players, such as moving or attacking, all enemies also act. Players have four attributes in the self-explanatory set of Power, Dodge, Aim, and Luck. In addition to the main weapon slot, there are ones for off-hand, head, and body equipment that can enhance these stats or give a damage or blocking bonus.

Whistler writes, "Ah childhood, I still fondly remember the days I feverishly spent drawing maps and characters on grid based paper and even created stand up paper avatars to traverse my imagination. Alas I do not have the time nor patience for that sort of guff but a little quaint title by the name of Crayon Chronicles allows me to have a similar experience from the comfort of my computer."

Spencer of Ghost Volta: "It’s no secret I enjoy roguelikes. I’ve featured Cardinal Quest II, Rogue Legacy, and Our Darker Purpose in past Get it Greenlit articles, all of which are at least somewhat roguelike. Lately I’ve been fond of roguelikes that aren’t incredibly hard to get into, like the aforementioned Cardinal Quest II. And so, Crayon Chronicles called to me, promising the full roguelike experience wrapped in accessibility and an art style that truly looks like it was done with markers and crayons."
