The timeless RPG classic returns loaded with upgrades! Journey to the forgotten past, to the far future, and to the end of time. A big adventure to save the planet, now begins…
Difficulty: Medium – Chrono Trigger is like most other 16-bit era RPG titles when it comes to difficulty level. The game offers frequent opportunities to save (with many of save points conveniently placed right before major boss battles). Boss fights can certainly pose a bit of a challenge. But players are able to grind their way past almost any encounter if they so choose.
Multiplayer: No.
Story: As one might expect from a Squaresoft RPG, the storyline in Chrono Trigger is rich and extremely engaging. Extra attention is given to the backstory for each of the main characters. This really helps the player connect with the characters on a deep level and also serves to enhance the story in a major way.
Originality: This game follows the tried and true JRPG formula – but with some new twists. The elimination of random encounters is refreshing. Also the introduction of the tech system provides a new spin on the classic turn-based battle system.
Soundtrack: The music in this game rivals anything seen in either Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest. The tunes are epic, comfy, and catchy. The music is masterfully composed and fits right in with the wonderful world that this game presents to the player.
Fun: Being an old school RPG fan, I might be a bit biased, but I had an absolute blast playing this game. It was everything that I’ve always loved about these type of games, but with a bunch of new and interesting additions. Even though this was my first time playing Chrono Trigger, it sparked a familiar whiff of nostalgia that gave me good vibes from the beginning of the game all the way to the very end.
Graphics: This game features colorful, 16-bit style graphics that were common during the time of its release. Modern ports of Chrono Trigger do offer the option for upscaled textures, but from my experimentation, the original graphics seem to look more natural.
Playcontrol: As with most RPGs, control is not an issue. Everything works and feels as expected regardless of the controller you are using. With this in mind, gamers playing the PC version are highly encouraged to play with a controller instead of the keyboard and mouse. This game was designed with a controller in mind and that’s how it’s best experienced.
