CHRONO TRIGGER (Upgrade Ver.)

This is my all time favorite game. Been playing since I was little.... the only things I would change is how in battle you can swipe to attack or combo, but when on the list of combos you can’t swipe... you also can’t swipe up or down when saying yes or no to things. You have to click the button. Swiping makes for easier game play. Also I really don’t like how they changes some of the dialogue and terms. “Happy water” used to be sweet water, and “arise” used to be life.... there was no reason to change it. There are complete conversations that have been changed too. Also in magus’s castle, there’s a hidden room in the dark of where Ozzie is trying to crush you with blades that isn’t there anymore.... :/

This is Chrono Trigger as we all know and love it. This game transfers over to iOS pretty well. I don’t really like games that have you move using a virtual dpad but it works well enough here. I play on my iPhone. This is the DS port of the game which includes all the “bonus” dungeons & fetch quests. My only real issue with this game is that Ive had some issues when loading my save to a new device from iCloud. Last I remember, I had already finished the final 6 tasks before facing off with the final boss and I was somewhere in the lost sanctum completing the fetch quests. I am 100% positive that I saved there in game and then backed up my save to iCloud (I know because I had just gotten Ayla leveled up to get the Iron Fist), yet when I loaded my save from iCloud, I’m back at The End of Time and Chrono is somehow dead again. But Ayla is still leveled up and has the Iron Fist. I don’t understand. It’s not a huge deal, just something to consider if you plan on playing across multiple devices. Overall, great game. Chrono Trigger is absolutely one of the best JRPGs ever and this port is solid aside from save issues with iCloud. Certain parts are made easier for touch screen controls (catching the Rat, death peak etc.) If you haven’t played this game, I highly recommend it. I still prefer the SNES version over any other though. Back to the grind for Ayla’s Bronze Fist (:

Glad to see this update and huge fan of the original I played on SNES - I found the original iOS release unplayable, and this upgrade is much much better, but there's a few things to make this port great... Requests: 1. Please allow turning off image smoothing or any interpolated (bilinear, etc) scaling - It looks blurry. I and it seems almost everyone else prefer the original pixel art unaltered and crisp (nearest neighbor / pixelated) scaling. 2. Still have to say this plays better with a controller, since Chrono glides past things if you aren't perfectly pointed at a Target on a perpendicular axis, so the New MFi controllers support is good…but game doesn't tell you anything about what button to press for anything like the pose matching at the fair, even though you can use controller to play those parts / so you have to do dinner guess and checking for that currently. Can't walk with controller joystick, only run, even when run/walk is set to Both, which allows the virtual joystick to do so. Also menu button doesn't bring up the game menu on iOS but why not? 3. Please support iPhone X for fullscreen. Note: I was able to return the cat to the girl at the fair that other reviews mention being broken, so it seems that has been fixed.

This has been a favorite of mine for years. Jumped at the chance to finally purchase it. But as an owner of multiple devices I am disappointed in the cloud saving feature. To save my progress to the cloud I have to first save, manually close the app reopen then export to iCloud as it doesn’t keep them synced nor can I find an option to exit to the main screen not tried bookmarking yet as a classic gamer I normally play from save spot to save spot. But there are times when I’d want to save but can’t bookmark. This is probably the only exit to main screen option. No sound controls meaning I can’t listen to anything except the game while I play as the game volume competes with whatever your listening to.

This game is amazing, an all around classic that is a must play. The updated graphics keep the CHRONO feel while improving upon its playability (bigger view for bigger screens, smoothed graphics, easier to play, crisp and easy to read fonts, etc). Any negative reviews about this being a “remake” should be ignored. There is nothing not to love about this game! Also, I commend Square Enix on their CustomerService. Not only did they make this update free to people who purchased it in the past, but the Apple TV edition is also a buy one get all (buy it on iOS, get it on Apple TV or vice versa). An amazing company and currently the king of mobile gaming!
