What is new in Chronicles of 2 Heroes?

Get ready for a game-changing update to "Chronicles of 2 Heroes" coming your way on June 7, 2024! Since its launch in May 2023, the game has gotten a few minor updates. but now, the team is excited to announce a major update that's set to elevate your experience to epic new levels. 

  • Exquisite Graphics Overhaul: Dive into a visually richer world with our extensively upgraded graphics. Tons of elements, from backgrounds to assets, have been enhanced for greater clarity, depth, and immersion. The artwork is now more spectacular than ever, designed to draw players deeper into the adventures of Kensei and Ayame.

  • Seamless Switch Mechanic: Experience fluidity and precision like never before with the improved switch mechanic. Switching between Kensei and Ayame is now faster and more intuitive, allowing for seamless transitions and strategic gameplay. This enhancement not only refines the core experience but also amplifies the enjoyment of utilizing their unique skills.

What is Chronicles of 2 Heroes?

Intense action, precise platforming, and exquisite pixel art. And, of course, its main mechanic: switching between the protagonists in real time! Kensei is a samurai unable to jump but lethal in close combat. Ayame, on the other hand, is as agile as fragile. Pressing a button makes you switch between these heroes and their more than 20 unlockable skills. 

Kensei and Ayame are the only hope for feudal Japan. Amaterasu and her disciple, Empress Himiko, tyrannize the land with their mighty army of yokai. Combining their skills, the two heroes must reach the imperial capital of Osaka and recover the three sacred treasures, Amaterasu's source of power. Along the way, they will clash against enemies inspired by Japanese mythology.

How can I get it?

Chronicles of 2 Heroes is available from 19,99 euros on all platforms. Published last year by Catness Games and developed by Infinity Experience. This update is free for all current owners of the game.

Do not miss anything about the project by following Infinity Experience on Twitter and joining their Discord community.
