    USER SAYS

    " I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS GAME......like seriously, I'm lovin' it (McDonalds might get mad xP). When I first saw the screenshots on TA I thought it was another match-3 game...boy was I wrong, and in a way that absolutely blew my mind. First, I love the graphics and in-game visuals. The character portraits are very well-drawn, kudos to your fabulous visual design team. The core gameplay itself is simple to grasp when playing for the first time but extremely difficult to master, which is a great thing. You have included many additional components such as a variety in unit type and class, as well as the soul cards which add another level of depth to the overall game. All in all, an outstanding SRPG in a very pretty package. "

    General Vincenti, the Amici's long time rival and sworn enemy, has taken down your adoptive family; and now you're on a mission of revenge. This is the most important contract of your career, and if you succeed, you could very well undo the evil that has befallen your family. You must travel back in time and assassinate Vincenti before he comes to power. Can the time-traveled assassination be as simple as it sounds?

    cronoSgear is a great match 3 game that is unique to the App Store. It is a fun formula, and it keeps evolving with cool units, and enemies. The presentation is overall ok.

    ChronoSgear's deep gameplay makes it stand out as an excellent Match-3 game, despite some shortcomings on the RPG side.

    Seamlessly combining a strategic RPG, a puzzle and a turn based strategy game into one was not an easy task, but Axion Logic appears to have done just that with chronoSgear.

    Even if it's less polished than Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes, chronoSgear can offer a truly fresh and uncommon experience, that is very different from any other RPG on the App Store. The combat system is clever, while setting and characters are really unusual. With the next updates, we hope Axion Logic will fix the controls and balance the difficulty.

    Despite the light-hearted script and colourful visuals, chronoSgear is a riveting and mentally challenging proposition that skilfully melds two genres into a cohesive and enjoyable experience.

    chronoSgear is a unique experience that packs a fun and challenging combat system, but it's held back by time-sinks that lack any significant purpose.
