Chrono Studio announced that they're currently working to refine the PvE progression of Chrono Odyssey. This decision is a result of the player feedback received after the Closed Beta Test last month.
The rebalance made for the PvE progression is to allow for a smoother experience for everyone. It starts with fine-tuning of the early-game pacing and tutorial content to ensure players are more prepared when they play the game for the first time. Then there are the changes for the solo and party content. Solo challenges in particular are going to focus on technical and pattern-based mechanics. Meanwhile, party play is planned to offer cooperative objectives and role-based gameplay.
Players can also look forward to major content featuring clearer indicators for recommended level, gear, and party size. Finally, optional NPC support is going to be added for the first Chrono Gate and allow players to fight with allies.
Players should also be happy to know that the whole main storyline is getting a full narrative overhaul. This is to better immerse players in the world of Chrono Odyssey along with offering a richer and more emotionally resonant adventure.
The studio is also working on other changes like the combat system which you can read more about here.
Chrono Odyssey invites players to an enormous and intricately designed seamless open world that expands across different biomes as it promises unrestricted exploration that caters to all adventurers at heart.
The game introduces a novel layer to combat mechanics known as the “Chronotector,” an artifact that allows players to manipulate time. This unusual feature opens up a dynamic range of gameplay options since players can pause time during monster fights or even rewind the world to explore past eras before significant events reshaped the landscapes.
Chrono Odyssey also puts emphasis on community play with its end content that features challenging dungeons and raids. The high-risk and high-reward scenarios encourage players to team up while at the same time give solo players the chance to prove their skills. Meanwhile, the economic design focuses on meaningful harvesting and crafting activities. Players can do various activities like logging, mining, harvesting, and skinning. All of these feed into the game’s elaborate crafting system where players can create valuable equipment and consumables.
