As with any video game genre, 3D action games have grown more prevalent and numerous as the years have passed. As a result, more and more iterations on the formula have been tried to varying levels of success. In order to stand out from similar titles, Chrono Punk will focus on speedy movement through large areas and quick-paced combat. Developed and published by SoulGear Studios, the game received its official reveal trailer after giving insight into the development process for a few months through the game’s YouTube channel.

The key feature of the game is shown immediately in the trailer, as the player character called the Stitch is seen flying through the air and zipping between enemies in combat. According to the Steam store page, the moves performed in the trailer are part of elaborate combo strings. In one of attacks, the main character is dealing damage to a group of enemies on the ground while another combo sees them juggling a single enemy in the air. This is combined with incredible movement speed that allows players to jump from one enemy to the next almost instantly. In sections between combats, that speed can be put to use to speed through walls and along roofs with the help of a grapple ability.

In addition to the combat, the new information revealed also emphasized the build opportunities for players in Chrono Punk. The main source of player expression will come from the variety of weapons available, totaling five melee and five ranged. In addition, players will be able to choose from random upgrades in a roguelike system.

Many gamers look to complete games quickly as a demonstration of skill and mastery, which Chrono Punk looks to emphasize with its initial reveal. The game is set to release on PC with the release date to be announced.
