The game renders its vast, three-dimensional world in pixel graphics, allowing players to venture freely between the past, present, and future in maps that seamlessly transition without loading screens.

Chrono Sword has been featured in game exhibitions at home and abroad, where it was noted and awarded for its gameplay. The game has built on the heavy hits known to fans of the souls-like genre while implementing new systems to create quicker, fiercer action. The Early Access version of Chrono Sword will contain roughly 30% of the total contents planned for the game, with a global full platform release planned for 2025.
