Ark of Charon

Ark of Charon is a game that on paper might have good potential to entertain, but on its own fails to offer much more than an inspired and polished graphic design. Its gameplay would have needed much more refinement, and its technical side also leaves a lot to be desired. We hope that Ark of Charon will be a necessary step for Angoo Inc. to offer more polished new works in the future.

Overall Ark Of Charon is a slightly challenging but enjoyable experience. It’s a bit of a learning curve to start, which makes me grateful for the Idyllic mode on the main menu I mentioned earlier. This mode greatly helped me to get my bearings with the actual gameplay. I also appreciated being able to return to previous areas on the map. Since the new area has more foes and higher difficulty, it felt good to return to an easier previous level to gather more materials at your own pace. However, I wish a job system would replace the Golems’ priority system. Though it’s nothing new, I feel it would be more efficient and simpler to have Golems specialised in set roles, such as farmer or builder, instead of toggling their priorities. I award Ark of Charon the Thumb Culture Gold Award.
