Ok. now reached the second town. There's no denying that the game is gorgeous. I love the colours, and the clean lines. Animations are also fluid and nice. The voices are cartoony, but they fit perfectly.

Ok. now reached the second town. There's no denying that the game is gorgeous. I love the colours, and the clean lines. Animations are also fluid and nice. The voices are cartoony, but they fit perfectly.

Combat has it's wrinkles. The synergy between each partymember's magic and Crisbelle's time manipulation seems interesting, although it takes a bit getting used to it. I don't care that much about the bare-bones parry and critical system. It's all just "press a" at the right moment which is too simple to be compelling and it quickly becomes a chore.

I'm also worried about the archaic design decision of not allowing you to save anytime. Combined with a surplus of random encounters, I had to decide between closing the game and loosing a bunch of progress or going ahead even though it's late and I'm tired. Not a good place for a modern game.

I hadn't realised that Cris Tales was going to be free next week. I was on the fence on getting it or not so guess that answers the question.

So, Cris Tales doesn’t support screen captures on Switch. If the game is running the screen capture function is disabled. Given how pretty this game is, that’s a huge disappointment. I’ve asked the devs about it and I really hope it’s unintentional.

How appropiate it is that the most important colombian video game ever launches today, in the independance day of the country?

Anyway. Get Cris Tales. Es un juego hermoso.

Well, Cris Tales is coming to Game Pass. I pre-ordered a physical copy for Switch ages ago when it was slated to release last year. I guess I’ll hang on to that pre-order since this game is gorgeous and I loved the demo but Microsoft is sure making me question whether I’m justified paying for a game I’ll get via …

I remembered I had tried to play the demo and had crashed at start. Decided to try again and it worked. How gorgeous is this game, though?

Played through the demo for this tonight. It is gorgeous, like I’m playing one of the older (but good) Cartoon Network shows like Foster’s. Voice acting is mostly decent. It gets a bit cluttered once the time gimmick comes into play. Having just played Paper Mario and the South Park RPGs, combat feels similar to those. Music was just kind …

Played through the demo for this tonight. It is gorgeous, like I’m playing one of the older (but good) Cartoon Network shows like Foster’s. Voice acting is mostly decent. It gets a bit cluttered once the time gimmick comes into play. Having just played Paper Mario and the South Park RPGs, combat feels similar to those. Music was just kind of there.

I’m definitely interested in seeing this one through, but it’s a backlog pile game and not an omg must play first title, for now.

This game (which will be on Game Pass) is being made in Colombia. This is the first time I've feel national pride in my entire life.
