- Players looking for a wholly new game may not want a remastered edition with switchable original and updated visual assets.
Our take on CHRONO CROSS: THE RADICAL DREAMERS EDITION
Rather than keeping an RPG journey in one continuous setting, the game builds its story around two linked worlds and a protagonist confronting his own death in another reality. Its cast also extends beyond a small fixed group, with over 40 party members to meet.
What is CHRONO CROSS: THE RADICAL DREAMERS EDITION?
This remastered RPG follows Serge, who crosses time while trying to prevent his death in a parallel universe.
The story unfolds across two linked worlds, where characters and dimensions intersect. Players can meet more than 40 potential party members and use a turn-based battle system. The edition upgrades the 3D models for HD display, adds revised character artwork and higher-quality background music, and includes options such as automatic combat, adjustable screen resolution, encounter toggling, and battle enhancements. It also contains RADICAL DREAMERS - Le Trésor Interdit -, an audio novel about Serge, Kid, and Magil in an alternate world. The original and updated visual assets can be switched together.
