Cris Tales - Nintendo Switch

This is a excellent short jrpg with tight mechanics.

This is a tough one. This game is really great. It really is. It’s a gorgeous turn-based RPG with a very unique style, a brilliant past/present/future mechanic, amazing characters, solid story line. There’s is such a great game here IF you are willing to deal with a couple things. First the load times are long. Not just long on cut scenes, but long on the random encounters that pop up while traveling thru the game. So you’re going to dealing with long loads a LOt. 2nd the game has a very high learning curve/difficulty. Which is great! But when you couple that with long/frequent load times - you are looking at a lot of people that are going to abandoned this game before making it very far at all. Tough to score really. It’s an easy 5 star game without these issues stacking up; but what we have here due to the technical issues is a 3 star game in a 4 star games shell. It really is absolutely gorgeous, and well developed otherwise.

A great strategy game with beautiful artwork and a great story

I loved the demo a year before when I tried it. I got it no Steam and then on the switch so I can play on the move. Cool game.

Time mechanic was intriguing but under utilized. Art style was catchy. Colors were bright. Story didn't get tedious. Side missions were interesting and effected story not mindless fetch quests. Played on games pass but bought switch version for collection. Can't comment on switch performance.
