About ChronoForge
ChronoForge is a multiplayer RPG where you pick from 12 combat classes to fight enemies spanning prehistoric beasts to futuristic raiders. Published by MintedLoot Studios, it launched September 10, 2025, on PC and Nintendo Switch 2. The game blends co-op and MMO elements, letting teams upgrade shared airships through raids and mini-games. These "trading companies" act as crafting hubs, tying progression to community efforts. The setting jumps through eras, offering a mix of survival-like resource gathering and action combat. Think cooperative base-building with time-traveling raids. Best for players who enjoy team-based progression and persistent world mechanics.
Gameplay
You’ll spend most sessions in 4-player co-op, navigating time-shifting zones like swamps filled with dinos or derelict space stations. Combat leans action-RPG with class-based abilities, think a time-bending Engineer or a brute-force Titan. Raids require coordinating with others to breach enemy strongholds, while open-world mini-games involve scavenging materials for your airship. Each "trading company" is a shared base where you install upgrades like crafting benches and defense turrets. Progression ties to collective achievements: unlock better gear by contributing to community goals. The interface is clunky but functional, and controls prioritize responsiveness for fast-paced fights. Sessions often stretch 2, 4 hours due to grindy XP curves.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.2/5, with 68% completing the main story. Average playtime is 32 hours, though 25% hit 100+ hours. Community moods are 70% positive, 25% mixed, and 5% negative. Critics praise "cooperative depth that feels fair" (85% critic score) but note "grindy early-game" in reviews. The most common achievement, "First Jump," is earned in 2 hours by 92% of players. However, the "CEO of Time" achievement for maxing a trading company takes 18 hours and is completed by just 12%. Players love the "time sink with a smile" vibe but gripe about "twitchy combat in raids."
PlayPile's Take
ChronoForge is a strong pick for co-op and MMO fans who don’t mind slow burn progression. At $59.99, it’s reasonably priced for the 30+ hour base playthrough. With 218 achievements and a 18-hour average for full completion, it rewards dedication. Skip if you want solo action RPGs or dislike shared progression systems. The community-driven airship upgrades add replayability, but the clunky UI and early-game grind may frustrate casual players. Definitely worth the investment if you have the hours and a team to join.
