Enter the Colorful World of Crayon Chronicles

On the surface, Outer Grid Games’ Crayon Chronicles sounds like a colorful kids game, but beyond its cute exterior lies an action-packed RPG that has been three years in the making.

sounds like a colorful kids game, but beyond its cute exterior lies an action-packed RPG that has been three years in the making. The narrative begins when your friends are kidnapped by a swampyard tyrant, propelling you into a serious rescue mission that involves a mysterious yet benevolent ‘stranger.’ A turn-based RPG at its core, Crayon Chronicles has a host of characters that can carry a helmet, armor, off-hand weapon and ranged weapon, as well as equip a skill power which recharges as players defeat enemies. The enemies, of which there are over 50 variations in total, come in a silly range and include spelling bees, illiter-rats, and big banshees.

While Crayon Chronicles offers a relatively short playthrough time, its randomly generated level design promises strong replay value. Additionally, the game keeps track of the player’s journey and allows them to compare their adventures to those of their friends. If you manage to stay alive, there is a save and continue feature, and the prospect of over 200 items and equipment to find throughout thirteen exploration-fueled environments.

Crayon Chronicles is now available on Steam for $3.99 USD. To stay on top of Outer Grid Games’ latest projects, make sure you like them on Facebookand follow them on Twitter. What do you think about Crayon Chronicles ? Let us know in the comments section.
