Developers Dreams Uncorporated and SYCK launchedCris Talesin July 2021. Built as a bit of a love letter to the classic RPGs of yore—Chrono Triggerbeing an obvious one—it tells a story spanning time. Protagonist Crisbell can move between the past, present, and future. Using this to both solve puzzles and gain the upper hand in battle is a big focus ofCris Tales.
It seemed like agood RPG at the time, one that had a lot of passion even where it fell short of its ambitions. The art style alone is an obvious draw, but the time mechanics also seem interesting. The cast of characters, from Crisbell to her helper frog pal and more, also seems pretty endearing. And thestudio itself has a pretty neat story, drawing inspiration from their own Colombian heritage.
For the low, low price of free, it might be worth checking out if you’re hankering for a new RPG to play. The Epic Games Store will haveCris Talesavailable, free to download, from Feb. 24 through Mar. 3.
