Kemco has shared the news that RPG Chronus Arc is now available for pre-purchase on Nintendo Switch. It launches just next week on 20th December.
The story of this one follows Loka, a young boy who is training to become a Sorcerer Knight. Loka is heading off to find the Chronus Fragments, which are needed for the ceremony of 'Time Rewinding', but the sudden appearance of a mysterious man intent on stealing the Fragments changes everything. He soon finds himself on a quest with his childhood friend, Princess Sarna, in a fight for the Chronus Energy.
The game actually released on 3DS just a few years ago; we have a full review of that version available if you'd like to learn more. Essentially, we felt that it has the potential to appeal to fans of old-school RPGs, especially those who are mostly concerned about the mechanics traditionally found within them, although we couldn't help but feel disappointed at the story's lack of charm.
Standard pricing for the game is set at $12.99 / 12.99€ / £11.69, but you'll be able to pick it up at 10% off during the pre-purchase period (before it launches on the 20th).
What do you think? Are you sold enough by the classic feel to make a purchase? Let us know if you'll be getting this one with a comment below.

More Kemco cookie-cutter templates that end up selling for 69p on the iTunes App Store.
When I saw its icon in the coming soon section, my instant reaction was "that looks like another KEMCO game". Opened up its page to confirm my suspicion and now will never go near it again.
I can't bring myself to pay for anymore games that look like they were churned out on RPG maker. The average indie game has come too far for that.
"Old school" and "lazy and low budget" are not the same. This is the latter.
All I'll say is I wish the flood of Kemco generic, bottom-skirting, RPGs would stop sometime soon. At least if your going to keep churning out RPGs in a style from a bygone era, at least give it some standout polish. These RPGs all look to be assets just slapped together.
To be fair to them, the sprites seem improved in this one, and they always have a funny story, good soundtrack and good game mechanics. This one does appear to change "some" more things around at least. Here the environments still look depressingly generic.
Sounds intriguing...

(first word is "Kemkco")
Never mind.
