Chronos is quite an interesting Action RPG – but will the Oculus Rift exclusivity be a selling point or a hindrance?

Chronos [official site] is one of Gunfire Games' first releases. They are certainly not, however, new to the industry itself though. Many of you might be familiar with Vigil Games, the ones behind the Darksiders series. Some of the folks at Vigil went on to form Gunfire Games after THQ’s unfortunate demise, and the legacy of their previous work is certainly visible here.

Chronos is one of the Oculus Rift's 30 launch titles. These 30 games will be the first to represent the VR market to a more mainstream audience, making their success paramount to VR’s future. Many of these launch titles are, however, limited experiences. Developers are still working out just what works and what doesn’t in this new medium. Chronos is one of the few titles with some more depth to it. While I feel that it stumbles in a few places, it is certainly one of the stand-out titles from Oculus’s first batch, with as many as 15 hours of play time, certainly more than most other launch titles will keep you busy for. We will be exploring why this is below.
