Cris Tales Review

When you play as a time mage, Cris Tales includes a lot of time-based tricks, plot devices and gameplay hooks. If Cris Tales has one outstanding feature, that is that it is the unique use of time travel and time manipulation that is at the heart of all you do.

In fact, many areas of the screen itself are divided into three sections that show past, present, and future locations to visit, interact with, and solve puzzles to better understand the world and its characters. Whether it's jumping back in time to pick flowers, or retrieving an advanced invention from the future with the help of an inventor from the present, or one that is transforming the world, players will see quests completed.

Speaking of characters involved in side quests, CRIS Tales reveals more of the fantastic world built into the game. The game wastes no time in showcasing its strengths, with a beautiful, hand-drawn aesthetic that offers surface pleasure, and great turn-based combat mechanics that delivers thrills that are more than up close. Fighting crowds of monsters and minions is easy due to an easy-to-understand battle menu and a wide range of combat skills that can be used to tackle encounters in different ways.

Cris Tales adds also a timing mechanism that keeps battles interesting by pressing a key at the right time for the attack to land a critical hit while doing the same for incoming enemy attacks to parry, minimise damage and avoid status interference. Cristales "Facilitate to manipulate the flow of time is at the heart of the narrative and struggle of Cristales. While it is an interesting idea that uses great visual effects and a bright, charming world, it is not used in the rest of the game.

When it matters, the repetitive turn-based battles of CRIS Tales feel trapped in a continuum of boring time loops. I suspect that the above-mentioned distracting elements are there for engagement and plot reasons, but the result is a collection of likeable but one-dimensional characters that come across in an interesting way. With a timeless story, quirky characters and effortless charm, CRis Tales manages to make itself fun.

Crisbell, a young girl without any knowledge of her past and who has become a time magician, meets a talking time traveller frog named Matias who says she can perceive the past, present and future of the world, giving her the unique ability to grasp the history of people and change their destiny. Outside of the fight, Crisbell can help her talking frog friend Matias to jump between the past and the future and involve people in their environment.

Fluid animations help you beat attacks with bonus damage and eliminate smaller enemies.
