About
Chronos: Before the Ashes is a 2020 action-adventure RPG that stands out for its unique aging mechanic, where players lose a year of life each time their character dies. As you explore a mysterious labyrinth to save your homeland from evil, you'll grow wiser and stronger, but the constant threat of permanent consequences forces meaningful adaptation and strategy throughout your journey.
The game runs well on modest hardware, making it accessible to most PC gamers. You'll want at least an entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 4047 and a CPU score near 5127 to hit playable FPS in standard graphics settings. With just 4 GB of RAM minimum, this isn't a demanding title, so even older systems should manage solid performance across various resolution and quality configurations.
With a 61/100 rating, Chronos offers a solid atmospheric experience for action RPG fans who appreciate creative mechanics and exploration. If you enjoy games with genuine stakes and don't mind methodical gameplay, it's worth checking out your estimated FPS on our benchmark tool.
Performance profile
Released in December 2020, Chronos: Before the Ashes targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.
Chronos: Before the Ashes is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.
Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Chronos: Before the Ashes; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.
