What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Chronocide is a work in progress but the aim is to start having it available as soon as possible for interested players. Early Access is useful for, among other things: feedback, many balance changes, community-driven balancing, expanding content, co-op iteration and evolving the systems as development progresses.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The goal is to have the base game available in EA and released sometime in 2027. This will make it possible to churn out the content that's left and polish, optimize, etc. the game.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Early access will contain the first of three acts in the base game.
I plan to add more levels, enemies, traps, weapons and other items in chunks during Early access.

After the base game is complete, the plan is to release three more acts, one act per paid DLC.

I plan to release balance changes and bug fixes will be continuously.

I plan to have the soundtrack available at some point after the game is released as a standalone product and also bundled with the game for a lesser price then if purchased separately.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version includes the first of three acts in the base game. All weapons, traps and enemies that will be contained in the act will be in the game.
Balance testing has been going on continuously but this will definitely be something I will be monitoring and adjusting on a regular basis.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The base game's price will remain the same during and after early access (except for temporary, event based discounts).
I plan on adding paid DLCs, but these will cost less than the base game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I will be engaging with community feedback and taking suggestions into account when developing the game. Balance suggestions and such will also be appreciated.
What this game does, it needs to do well.”

About This Game

The undead are coming — and standing still isn’t an option.

In Chronocide, you fight back against massive undead hordes in third-person combat, combining fast-paced action with trap-based defense. Build deadly setups, trigger physics-driven chaos, and survive wave after wave using both skill and teamwork.

Every run is about experimentation:
Set traps, lure enemies, knock them into hazards, and watch your plans either succeed brilliantly… or collapse in hilarious disaster.

Whether you’re holding the line alone or coordinating with friends, survival depends on smart positioning, timing, and creative use of your tools.

Freeze enemies - Cut them up - Launch them into spikes - Burn entire hordes up


Coordinate defenses - Then improvise when everything falls apart.
The 4 available heroes play very differently and complement eachother;

Waldis the wzard - elemental magic and projectile weapons

Rolanda the paladin - support, buffs, and frontline presence

Mike the soldier - precise gunplay and ranged pressure

Anthia the necromancer - spells and summoned minions





Complete levels to earn stars and upgrade your characters and gear. Unlock new items, improve your abilities, and refine your strategies as the challenge ramps up.

Chronocide rewards smart planning and mastery — but it also encourages trying wild ideas just to see what happens.

Play solo or co-op (up to 4 players)!
Mix and match roles in co-op to create powerful team synergies.

This game is challenging - If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
Or... switch to casual difficulty - Less hardship but also less star rewards.

Missing stars on a level? Replay it to increase your rewards.

Original soundtrack by Malin Eriksson.

Chronocide is actively evolving throughout Early Access with new content, balance changes, and improvements planned over time.

The game already offers full co-op play, core progression, and a complete first act.
More content, balance changes, and improvements will be added over time as development continues.

If you enjoy challenging co-op games, physics-driven combat, and experimenting with deadly trap setups, Chronocide is built for you.

NOTE: Only 1 act is available so far in the early access.


The base game will contain the first 3 acts which is the main story arc.
As you progress through the acts, more traps, weapons and other items will be available.
Play through the campaign to unlock more game modes.
