ADEPTUS CRITICUS GAME REVIEWS

30 Years ago, Chrono Trigger was born and was released on the SNES, now 30 years on this most excellent game is still captivating audiences and has a die-hard fan base, who has been waiting for a remake (So come on Square get to work).

The Creators.

Chrono Trigger was the brainchild of the legendary trio of Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy Series creator), Yuji Horii, (Dragon Quest series creator) and Akira Toriyama (R.I.P) known for Dragon Ball. I mean come on how could it fail with all that talent.

Gameplay and Storytelling.

Chrono Trigger is a time-travelling RPG taking the player across various time zones. What I love about this game is that it was one of the first to have multiple endings all unlocked dependent on what actions you had made in the first playthrough and believe me you will play through this game many times and I mean many times. The battle system was revolutionary as well making turn based more dynamic think Pillars of Eternity battle system that’s the best way I can describe it, and in 1995 that was quite something.

Music.

Chrono Triggers music is another plus, the music was mostly composed by Yasunori Mitsuda with contributions from Nobuo Uematsu, the music would seamlessly change depending on what time you are in and really pushed the boundaries of the 16-bit hardware.

Chrono Trigger’s Influence.

Chrono Trigger is widely regarded as one of or if not, the greatest RPG ever made and for me personally it is very difficult to argue against it not being the greatest RPG ever made. Chrono Trigger has influenced so many people to get into game development especially in RPG development.

Where to play Chrono Trigger Today.

Chrono Trigger even today is still held in the highest regard and so it should be it is a masterpiece; it is available on various platforms but not modern consoles sadly. You can play this on Nintendo DS, SNES, PS1, Mobile, PC to name a few. It has also been announced that various projects are in the works for more content in the Chrono gameverse and one of those projects had better be a HD2D remake of Chrono Trigger.

So I will all now leave you all with this if you haven’t played Chrono Trigger than I really recommend that you do you will have a great time with the game.
