Enter the Chronosphere is a Melbourne-made game where chaos and careful planning collide

During the recent PC Gaming Show, Enter the Chronosphere warped onto the scene with a new trailer, showcasing never-before-seen gameplay and details for the turn-based bullet hell roguelike, as well as the reveal of an open beta!

Enter the Chronosphere began as the winning submission for the 7DRL Challenge in 2021. It’s remarkable to see how polished the game has become since the game jam prototype, thanks to the dedicated work of Effort Star, the Melbourne-based team behind the project.

The PC Gaming Show trailer perfectly showcases exactly what Enter the Chronosphere brings to the table: a unique blend of roguelike action and turn-based tactical strategy where chaos and careful planning collide. In this experience, time moves when you move. Until you decide on your next course of action, time stands still. Bullets stop mid-flight, enemies freeze, and bombs pause. The game waits on you, allowing you to play at your own pace and consider your next move. The moment you do choose to move, shoot, swap weapons, reload, or use a character ability the game is on and the entire world surges forward a beat with you.

If this piques your interest, the open beta is live on Steam now. Dive in headfirst and experience the time-twisting tactics of Enter the Chronosphere yourself!
