Chrono Ark

Chrono Ark is available on PC via Steam, where it launched after an early access period, and was later released on Nintendo Switch. The game was developed by South Korean studio BADA Games.

Chrono Ark uses a timeline-based combat system where character and enemy actions are placed on a visible turn-order track, allowing players to manipulate timing and sequence strategically. This creates depth similar to games like Final Fantasy X's Conditional Turn-Based Battle, but layered with the roguelike deckbuilding mechanic.

Yes, Chrono Ark combines deckbuilding with party-based RPG combat, where each party member has their own card pool that changes between runs. Unlike Slay the Spire's single-character format, Chrono Ark's party system adds a layer of team composition and synergy-building to each roguelike run.

No, despite the similar-sounding name, Chrono Ark has no connection to Square Enix's Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross. The name is coincidental, and Chrono Ark is an entirely independent title developed by BADA Games.
