The game Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition packs an antique and fascinating experience for Japanese RPG fans, but the game overall seems to be lost in time. This latest release brings back the flavour of the late 90s RPG design to the players. The game seems to have undergone a visual enhancement, but overall it is the same as the original Chrono Cross. 

Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition features the characters' same sharp and angular looks but has incorporated edgy character designs with vibrant colours. As this remaster comes in a Hd version, the edgy irregular spikes designs of the expressive-looking characters might seem unusual to modern players. But the overall remaster can be called a good-looking one as the characters are expressive and bring a bright warm palette enhanced with a tropical setting.  

What's new?

The game features quite a few new features like a speed-up option which helps every object in the game move faster. Another feature is the battle boost which makes the game's combat easier. The auto-battle function executes an automatic optimal fight command for the players. All of these speed-up, battle boost and Auto-battle functions come combined in one where the players get to automatically move with extra speed and pack a faster and harder fight which helps them quickly progress to the following levels. Another newly added function, speed-down, comes with the advantages of walking through molasses and helps in time-restricted challenges. Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition also comes with a brand new feature that uses a combo-based system where the players can opt for several attacks in a single take. But this feature is reportedly stagnant in its set default pace. 

Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition has added depth to its classic JRPG mechanics and has brought a complex plot where the players have to figure out the details putting together the pieces of the events. The game remains static in the text adventure formats and holds long narratives between segments. But it overall adds up as a decent remaster from the developer's Sony Enix for the JRPG fans.
