Before continuing any further, I feel like I should mention that, while Cris Tales is most certainly a game about temporal manipulation, itвЂ™s probably not anything that youвЂ™re similar to. It reallyвЂ™s more like a вЂњlove-mild-frustrationвЂќ relationship, if that makes any kind of sense. I want to say that I have a love-hate relationship with Cris TalesвЂ story, but thatвЂ™s not really true because, for the most part, I was quite charmed by it. Because of this, Crisbell soon finds herself suddenly embarking on the quest of a lifetime-to save both the world and the very fabric of time, which helps to hold it together. Unfortunately, while the past and present look nice, the future isnвЂ™t looking so great thanks to the return of the Empress of Ages. Upon approaching the altar, she immediately finds herself enshrouded in mystical energy and subsequently gains the ability to see the past, present, and future simultaneously. Determined to get it back, she follows the ambiguous amphibian all around town, where, eventually, she ends up in an old chapel. However, all of that changes one day whenвЂ¦ a frog in a tophat steals a rose from the garden outside of the orphanage. You could have just asked me to follow you, geez.Д¬ris Tales follows the story of a young orphan named Crisbell who, aside from being foggy on certain parts of her early life, lives an average and surprisingly content life in an orphanage located within the currently cozy town of Narim alongside her loving friends and Mother Superior. And, as weвЂ™ll soon see in this Cris Tales review, this gameВ definitely has some good gimmicks going on. All you really need to do is find your own gimmick or two and stick with it-provided that said gimmick is actually a good one, of course. You donвЂ™t need to re-invent the wheel, and IвЂ™m not even sure how you would do that with something like time travel.

Apparently, that issue doesnвЂ™t exist for everyone, though Dreams Uncorporated and Syck managed to create Cris Tales.Д¬ris Tales is a great example of how focusing on changing just a few things within any given genre or trope can make something feel truly unique. Still, with time travel being such a well-worn trope within video games (which, again, IвЂ™m not necessarily saying is a bad thing), it can be hard to create something that really feels fresh. A lot of people like games centered around that specific premise (myself included!), and there are soВ many different ways that you can go with it in terms of story, mechanics, and development. Video games about time travel are kind of like peanut butter & jelly sandwiches they go together well, and a lot of people have made them. Cris Tales Review: A time-honored tradition
