Cronous features four unique character classes, fully customized appearance based on equipped gear, an advanced combat system combining magic spells and medieval weaponry, as well as hundreds of maps, dungeon levels, and quests. You can form guilds to play cooperatively with other players, raise pets, craft weapons, or go on large-scale castle sieges.
