Evaluation

Kromaia launched on October 23, 2014 and received a series of post-launch patches over its first year: trading cards and bug fixes (November 20, 2014), Oculus Rift support and Steam achievements (April 22, 2015), online leaderboards and weapon changes (August 18, 2015), and a final balancing update alongside the PS4 release (November 27, 2015). All four updates were feature patches rather than expansions or DLC — no new content packs were ever announced or listed. The store description describes a complete, self-contained game with no mention of planned additions, seasons, or future updates. There are no unreleased DLC entries on the store. The last developer communication was on November 27, 2015, and no posts of any kind have appeared since. The game launched as a finished product and the post-launch patches polished and expanded minor features without indicating any ongoing content roadmap. Kromaia appears to have been complete at or shortly after its final patch in November 2015.

About this game

The frantic old-school action of classic coin-op shoot-‘em-ups comes crashing headlong into the 21st century with Kromaia, exclusively for PC. Explosive high-octane blasting combines with hordes of enemies in a 360˚ environment, allowing you to fly, spin and shoot anywhere and everywhere!

Where most shooters see you racing along a fixed path to blast anything in your way, Kromaia does things differently. Set in three-dimensional space, you’re free not just to explore but also dodge and blast through hordes of enemies all intent on destroying you! With your objectives spread out in all directions, it’s a true test of high-speed flying and sharpshooting skill – only the greatest space pilots need apply!

Game Features
  • True 360˚ Action – Kromaia sends classic coin-op shooting action hurtling into a new dimension, allowing players to explore huge 3D worlds full of things to blow up!
  • Harder, Stronger, Faster – The better you do, the tougher things get; adaptive AI adjusts to your abilities, ensuring you’ll always face a true challenge!
  • The Bigger They Are… – Survive through all your objectives and you’ll have a bigger challenge ahead: gigantic bosses that need to be destroyed before they destroy you!
  • Take Your Pick – Four unique craft, each with their own style of weaponry, let you experience the action of Kromaia in your own way. Rapid-fire guns, homing shots, powerful blasts or melee strikes… it’s totally up to you!
