Crome: Before Purgatory

Super Crome 40% Off!



Check it out here



The year is 40XX. Since the establishment of the Galactic Consul peace has reigned, but as of late a cold unease has settled into the barren soil of the colonies. It began at first with the odd distress signal — a company freighter lost in the dormant starfields, an occasional satellite having seemingly vanished from a backwater planet. Now, entire solar systems have slipped into the encroaching ink sweeping across the outskirts, and maddened whispers speak of a force beyond the void — Purgatory.

As mankind’s only hope for survival, Crome must eliminate dozens of waves of cosmic beasts and ships to escape the dark abyss. Thankfully, his sleek ship comes equipped with devastating weapons and a precise dashing ability; a perfect combination for slaying alien scum. Take control of Crome as he hunts down hordes of galactic monstrosities and bring back peace in this retro-inspired bullet hell.



  • Fire your way through fast-paced combat scenarios and dash through overwhelming attacks.
  • Face off against more than 20 beasts, ships, and fiendish bosses.
  • Harness an arsenal of destructive weapons and abilities.
  • Challenge friends on a competitive leaderboard and secure your spot as the Galactic Consul’s most skilled pilot.
  • Annihilate enemies to level up Crome’s ship and upgrade its firing speed.

Crome: Before Purgatory - Coming Soon



Crome: Before Purgatory will finally launch next week January 29th for Windows and Mac!



The game itself has been done for quite a while so it's a great weight off my shoulders to finally release this bad boy to the world. Crome's arcade mode is all wrapped up and most likely won't see any big updates for a bit. But I will try my best to fix any bugs that arise so please post if you encounter any issues!

I do plan on adding some new content down the line once I have more time (new enemies, bosses, items, weapons, maybe even a story mode if there's enough interest) so check back here often.

I look forward to seeing you all on the leaderboard next Tuesday!
