It?s easy to lose track of things at E3, especially when covering lots of different games. But CrisTales by Dreams Uncorporated and SYCK is one that I will not be forgetting. Thanks to publisher Modus, we got to see some behind-closed-doors gameplay of its upcoming game. To sum it up, CrisTales is a turn-based JRPG which pays homage to older classics like Chrono Trigger, but with an interesting twist in the form of time traveling. It?s way more than that though, so let?s jump into what makes CrisTales so special.
From the same publisher that?s bringing us Trine 4, Modus could have a sleeper hit on its hands with CrisTales. Right off the bat, you?ll notice the beautiful hand-crafted art, with assets that painstakingly had to be drawn three times. The reason for that has to do with the game?s time travel mechanic, which we?ll come back to later on. Touting hand drawn art is something you might often hear about in various indie games, but seeing it in action like this is still wildly impressive.
