    This is still a classic and still a fantastic game that needs to be played by any and all RPG lovers. The controls can be very, very irritating at times but the core experience, characters and storyline have weathered the storm of porting and still provide as much enjoyment as they ever had. I'm still kind of cheesed-off by the butchering of Frog's script, though.

    Despite Square Enix's slovenly porting skills, none of Chrono Trigger's brilliance has been obscured in this rather lazy iOS port. Hours of riveting RPG entertainment await those of you willing to look past the fuzzy graphics and occasionally awkward controls.

    This is still the Chrono Trigger fans have come to know and love even despite Square Enix' stubborn refusal to shape its games to suit the iOS platform; this can dampen the experience, but its core still shines through.

    As a game, Chrono Trigger is perfect. As a port, we've seen better.

    A terrible port of a wonderful game- meaning the end product ends up somewhere in the middle.

From what I've heard, it's not that good of a port but so far I'm enjoying it none the less. The soundtrack is one of the best I've heard in a video game.… Expand

I grew to become attached to theThis game is the first rpg that I managed to complete 100%, being a very charming and amazing experience. I grew to become attached to the characters as the story progresses, their gameplay was revolutionary for the time and remains very unique at its core. The freedom to direct where to end the story is a way to get more hooked on completing it 100%. In short, a very complete and great game, which deserves the title of the best RPG game in history. However, the port is bad and very inefficient, it is completely better to play the "SNES" version.… Expand

    The first part of this game seems amazing, like a 10/10, one of the best games you've ever played. It then becomes and abrasive boring slowThe first part of this game seems amazing, like a 10/10, one of the best games you've ever played. It then becomes and abrasive boring slow slog with cheap tactics. Oh wow, every enemy automatically takes half my health. Oh this enemy can kill me in two hits. Oh I used the wrong spell I guess cause I just healed it, now my entire party is dead and I have to redo those 5 forced battles before this again. Oh look I finally made it to the boss this will be exciting, .......oh wow they are literally reusing the same boss I just faced 15 minutes ago. God this is so lazily made. It isn't one of the best games of all time, or rpgs, or jrpgs, it isn't the best of anything.

    I love the characters and the charm it shows at first, and that makes it all the worse that this game falls off such an incredibly steep cliff that you never saw coming.    … Expand
