Our review

Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon is a game I personally really like. It has a lot of depth, and we are only at the beginning. It has exactly the kind of old school Zelda graphics I am really into.

There are four characters to choose from, so it does not get boring. Each player plays one of them, and you can cycle through the characters while you play. That makes for a really fun co-op experience.

I love that the story is not only text. The narrator also reads it out loud, which makes it much more interesting for younger players like my daughter. She can read, but listening is just easier.

Connecting two controllers was super simple. The controls are shown on screen during the first steps, so it is easy to get them right from the start.

Beautiful color palette, nice fighting style. Overall a really nostalgic, really fun game. It is fun alone too, but the second player adds quite a bit. I think it is one of the best same-screen co-op dungeon crawlers for the tablet I have played so far. I will update my score once we are deeper into the game.
