Like this game

The story is charming and there's an interesting play of cause and effect, although I don't think the battle mechanics really use that to its potential aside from a handful of key battl3s. The artwork is absolutely gorgeous if a little static. It is refreshing to have a nice 25 hour JRPG and be done with it. That said, it has its issues. The loading times are atrocious and happen for EVERY RANDOM BATTLE and kind of kill the flow of story events. There is a somewhat small world that you double back over. Battles and enemies get repetitive and there are points where you have to grind to stand a chance to move the story along. So sometimes it feels "old school" in the wrong ways. I still found it worthwhile, but your tolerance of the flaws may vary.

Great game

This game is really innovative with the time gameplay. This was the first game I've bought in years that I didn't research. I wasn't disappointed. This is a great game. Plus a lot of voice over in game not just in cut scenes. The art style is nice too, it's looks like paper layer art.

Llego un día antes de lo esperado. Un buen juego que tiene el estilo de los RPG'S clásicos, con muy buen arte.

The developers of Cris Tales describe it as a love letter to classic JRPGs but from my playtime there’s some interesting time-related game mechanics however the whole is not greater than the sum of its parts in this instance. This is due to the unfortunate combination of environmental puzzles, random battles and significant loading times. I would be getting familiarised with a dungeon to find the way through but I would be interrupted by a random battle with the local fauna (surprise!) that would be bookended with a five-second loading screen. Upon returning to the dungeon, it would take a moment to get my bearings before the next random battle was triggered. Rinse and repeat. After 31 hours my patience had worn thin, despite all be wrapped up in a lovely art direction that reminded me of Eyvind Earle (Disney’s 1959 Sleeping Beauty). I’m also quite annoyed for investing 35,000 marbles (in-game currency) in upgrading a playable character’s weapon only for them to be killed off mid-campaign, along with their equipped items. Defeating the Empress of Time is only half the game, with the second half filled with meaningless back and forth between the four locations which doesn’t respect the players time. Consolidating this padding would have resulted in a more cohesive gameplay experience. Other annoyances includes the slippery controls especially when pushing blocks, and EXP that is not applied to benched characters so I generally kept the same three throughout - Cristopher was my MVP. To finish on a positive, I found the ending’s narrative satisfying and the quality of the voice acting excellent. Passable: 5/10

The art style, the music, the story and the gameplay works properly, my only complain would be that time crystals become obsolete after certain point and the developers should add harder late game bosses.

Trae algunos extras que se agradecen hoy en día no un folleto traen

Un juego muy bueno para los amantes de los JRPG con un sistema que me recuerda a Chrono trigger y una historia interesante.
