    If your fondest memories of gaming growing up were playing JRPGs, you’ll instantly fall in love with Cris Tales. On the other hand, if youIf your fondest memories of gaming growing up were playing JRPGs, you’ll instantly fall in love with Cris Tales. On the other hand, if you don’t share those same fond memories of classic JRPGs, you might find some of Cris Tales‘ faults a bit more concerning. Random battles, no auto save feature and some camera angles that can make navigation tricky might make you think twice.

    Conversely, there is a lot to like about Cris Tales. The game’s beautiful 2D fairy-tale world is mesmerizing. I enjoyed the game’s time mechanic via Crisbell’s magic and the voice acting is superb! Each and every character is well voiced and full of emotion.

    Ne perdons pas une minute de plus : oui, Cris Tales est une franche réussite. Le premier jeu de Dreams Uncorporated nous emmène dans un voyageNe perdons pas une minute de plus : oui, Cris Tales est une franche réussite. Le premier jeu de Dreams Uncorporated nous emmène dans un voyage à travers le temps en compagnie de Crisbell et ses amis, un casting varié et éclectique dont les péripéties sont sublimées par un style graphique unique et soigné ainsi qu’une bande originale qui fait plaisir aux oreilles. Le périple ne se fera hélas pas sans accrocs entre une mise en scène un peu mollassonne et de nombreux soucis techniques qu’ils soient mineurs ou bloquants. Mais gardons à l’esprit que le premier titre du studio colombien est très ambitieux et que certaines de ses erreurs de jeunesse seront vite corrigées. Si vous aimez les jeux de rôle japonais ou que vous souhaitez découvrir le genre de la plus belle des manières, vous ne voudrez pas passer à côté de Cris Tales. Expand
