Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

It's a "yes" short game with a touch of souls-like mechanics. Good to pass a few delightful hours without rush and grinding teeth. A bit childish, perhaps, both from looks and by design, yet it has the charm. You will probably quitly enjoy it if you are not expecting the fluiding of Wukong and agility of Elden Ring.
i loved remnant 1 and 2 so i decided to play the prequel. its ♥♥♥♥, just play dark souls. only play chronos if you want a bit more remnant lore or enjoy ♥♥♥♥♥♥ soulslikes

I would say a relic of it's time, but even then better games in the genre existed. Bad camera, enemies that ignore being hit through their combos or are so easily put into a combo they are trivial, several enemies where blocking is useless because you still take damage, and dodging taking no stamina making it the obvious better option always. I'm glad I played remnant first because I would never have given this company another try if this was the first game i played.
oh my god.. most boring stuff i try in a long time
If you can, try playing this before Remnant or Remnant 2, as this is the prequel to those games. It is a bit janky, but it is pretty fun. It isn't the longest game in the world, but it is pretty jam packed. The final boss has a pretty interesting gimmick too. The other bosses are good and not too hard, but pretty fun. I'd recommend getting this game.
The janky controls and the last sliding puzzle (which will take you longer then the game itself) makes this game absolute bollocks. In the intire game i didn't manege to parry an attack once.. Yeah, it's that bad. The healing animation makes you character stand still for 3 seconds so good luck trying to heal in a boss fight and sometimes when the boss is stunned and you have to time to heal, then ofcourse the button doesn't respond at all. Remember when you where a kid and you got so frustrated that you trew your controller trough the room? This will take you back to that feeling without a doubt. I'm sooooo glad the vr was to expensive for me. If i had to pay 40$ for this i would have cried. I'm a very big Zelda occarina of time fan so i was looking forward to play this so bad but it ended up in absolute sht. I uninstalled it before the final boss, i'm not kidding, i just couldn't take it anymore with the unresponsive jank. Avoid it like the plague, trust me...
Chronos: Before the Ashes is a pretty good adventure title, that comes with a rather simple combat system, some cool locations, and an intriguing plot, which focuses on mystery and puzzle solving. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3658884917
Quick Version: DON'T BUY FULL PRICE: WAIT FOR A CHEAP SALE!!! Long Version: ------------------------------ Bought this on a sale saw the reviews and thought it'd be worth a shot. I am not a souls player, my first playthrough was Elden Ring and it was not a normal playthrough in the slightest; With that said This was my first real souls exp. and tbh I loved it! I think this is a perfect game for anyone unsure if they would like a souls like game. It took me exactly 12 hours to complete my first playthrough (with exploring and dying). I finished level 60, age 52. Souls veterans might find this game too easy. Considering how short and rough the controls of this game feels, I do not recommend buying at full price. I got this on sale for 7.49 and for that price I loved the game. If I paid full price I would have been a bit disappointed tbh. The story, puzzles, and everything is great, but the controls are clunky and the game is short; The story also does not go into great detail, there aren't many weapons/equipment options, etc.- just not something I think is worth 30$. BUT I DO RECCOMEND PLAYING!
A truly underrated game.... I played the follow up games Remnant: From the ashes and Remnant 2 to completion and wanted the lore! I went into this blind, only knowing one thing about the game, you can age, but let me tell you this game is so much more than that. It explained it all! The world of Remnant now makes so much more sense! The lore is fantastic, the gameplay is different from any souls-like you will find plus the world looks stunning considering how very simplified the art style is! Sure, it takes some getting use too. Sure, the dev added an achievement no one can get, but none of that matters when you look at the grand scheme of things. This game deserves love! People need to know the origin of it all!
