Cronos: The New Dawn introduces a tense, tactical combat system centered around a unique “Merge” mechanic, where enemies called Orphans can absorb dead bodies to evolve into more powerful forms with new attack patterns. This system makes every encounter unpredictable and forces players to manage resources carefully, as killing enemies can inadvertently strengthen others if their bodies are not dealt with quickly. Players must use spatial awareness, weapon variety, and quick strategy to prevent merges and survive handcrafted arenas filled with threats, ensuring that combat remains challenging and dynamic throughout the game.
