    A non-exclusive game with customary, exhausting (obviously fast-paced) combat and generally unimaginativeness. Try not to purchase this game, such purchase justified regardless of your cash.

    Crosscode is that kind of game, which is being shilled everywhere, yet when you play it whilst ignoring the overall shilling of it, you will realize how awful it actually is.
    It, like almost every Indie game these days, has fast-paced combat, unoriginal design, and much more of that sort. Overall, it's a pretty inconsequential and generic game.

    This game has way to many puzzles chained together in the major progression content, it's literally a mega dungeon of puzzles, this was too much and over the top for me that it sucked all the fun out of the game.
    The story and the world is interesting, and it kept me in for longer than it would have, but ultimately I put it down after I reached the 2nd dungeon (approx 6-7hrs in), it's    This game has way to many puzzles chained together in the major progression content, it's literally a mega dungeon of puzzles, this was too much and over the top for me that it sucked all the fun out of the game.

    Loved it at first, as i hoped it will be adventure similar to Chrono Quest, but quickly realized that it is just tedious single player mmo, with gazillion pointless fetch quests. Too bad as i really liked the combat and old school art style.

    Ich gebe zu, ich machte das Beste aus der außergewöhnlich schlechten Interaktivität, aber das ist es nun. Schrecklich für ein geschichtszentriertes Spiel; somit gehört es zu den, von mir gespielten, schlechtesten Spielen.    … Expand

    Meh. Precisely, this is what the game is, a "meh". A lot of developers think, sudden increments in health and damage are what make for difficulty, but it doesn't. The very bad combat (of course, fast-paced combat, as turn-based was too hard to code again) combined with its abhorrent story results in, at best, a 3. The story has no depth whatsoever, neither do these characters.

    Ignore the obvious shilling of this game, people think their stupid comparisons with AAA titles would make this game stand out, but it does the exact opposite. It proves the desperation of the fans, the desperation for it to be something special, even though it is not, going as far as to comparing it to timeless masterpieces like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.    … Expand

    It will, like all of the other Indie pixel **** rot in my Steam library. What a bad game. Its story, gameplay, **** everything, all sucks.

    Literally the worst game design I've ever seen. Waiting as a central game mechanic, guaranteed enemy hits, overly convoluted puzzles for the sake of convolution, absolutely obnoxious enemies, no graphic indication of different heights for platforming etc. There are basically no quality of life elements.

Waiting as a central game mechanic, guaranteed enemy hits, overly convoluted puzzles for the sake of convolution, absolutely obnoxious enemies, no graphic indication of different heights for platforming etc. There are basically no quality of life elements. Instead there are countless instances in which game design decisions have been made that are just plain annoying. The frustrating part is that these decisions could have easily been different without any drawbacks whatsoever. There are times where it seems like somebody deliberately chose to make parts of this game as annoying and unpleasant as possible.… Expand

    CrossCode shows that the size of a developer and its overall budget doesn't determine the quality of the game. AAA developers can sink all the money in the world into a title, and it may still lack that special something. That isn't the case here. Radical Fish Games' CrossCode is a masterpiece action RPG by a small-scale studio, and it's damn-near perfect in nearly every way.

    CrossCode is an outstanding title that is completely worth your time investment. It is beautiful, compelling and a ton of fun.

    CrossCode is a funky, charming and sometimes even too extensive action RPG with a pleasant nostalgic side.
