[b]Game Rating:[/b] 9/10. Overall, a stellar game! An artistic masterpiece that is rare to see in modern era games. It feels like a game that someone stayed up many late nights thinking of ideas and designs for. Big labor of love energy. To break down the specifics... [b]Art Direction:[/b] 10/10. Probably the main highlight of this game, the whole game feels like you're travelling through a pop-up book. The colors and textures are captivating regardless of which of the regions of the game you're in. The music is solid as well, though not quite as stand-out. [b]Gameplay:[/b] 8/10. 2nd place for this game's highlight features. The game focuses a lot on time magic, and the way the game's mechanics are built around that are really neat. The main character can control time, and it will affect the state of enemies (aging them up and down into different forms) and many of your allies' attacks (for example, you can wet an enemies armor with a water spell, and then move time forward around them to rust the armor). My main gripe about it is that the control of time is bound to a single character and she has to use her whole turn to do it, meaning if you want to use the more complex battle tools, you're kinda locked into using the MC as a time-bot. That, and the pool of abilities feels a bit limited. On a meta level, one of the things that annoyed me most about playing through this was the losing and gaining of units. There was a particular patch of the game where I was stuck with 2 characters I hate the gameplay of and it was insufferable. Docked a point for that. [b]Story:[/b] 6/10. It was pretty riddled with plot-holes that are pretty common whenever a story is written around time magic. However, the writer's willingness to not have everything tie up neatly and a consistent thematic of "you can't save everyone" has me giving it a point above average. [b]Difficulty:[/b] 5/10. The game starts out more difficult, and then as you gain access to reliable healing, becomes easier. There is, however, random enemies that will feel kinda bullsh*t, but not too much and you can usually figure out how to approach them after a loss or two. [b]Completionist Friendliness:[/b] 4/10. Without guides, you're likely to miss a few achievements. The achievements reward being thorough more than being outright difficult. Grinding is present but fairly mild and doesn't feel like it's needlessly sapping your time, aside from one or two achievements. I will say, however, I'm extremely salty due to being one achievement short of completion because the last patch caused a bug with it, and there is no way to correct it. If you're wanting to get them all in your first run, I recommend having a guide so you know how to avoid this bad feel when a glitch blocks you. It's not a super long game, so a rerun isn't the most daunting thing, but being gatekept by a bug doesn't foster a ton of desire to replay.

I like Cris Tales. It's just good JRPG--fun, simple, and sweet. Looks good, combat flows well, story's pretty good, and the game's fun. It's not the most amazing game ever, with some bugs here and there, but it is a good game and I recommend it. It's one of the few titles I found to be worth 100%ing even.

It’s really slow, the story isn’t very engaging, and I still can’t quite get to grips with the combat style… and it’s been an RPG since 1909

una historia interesante pero lo que mas me ah gustado es la interaccion de los protagonista con su entorno y los demas personajes su diseño se me hace muy bonito y la mecanica del tiempo me gusto un buen juego
