Ratings and reviews

Chrono Trigger is an amazing RPG Pros :It's the DS version ported to phone. DS version is IMO the best one. Cons: 1. Sometimes, the game doesn't load my save, and I have to restart the app. Game loads fast, but still irritating. 2. Don't use bookmarking feature, if the game fails to load, you lose the bookmark and have to reload an old save. 3. The movement control isn't very finely tuned for phone so its hard to move exactly where you need to be sometimes. Not terribly bad, but can be annoying.

A game so timeless it hasn't gotten a remake yet. The game overall performs well and has all the extra content that the Nintendo DS version has. Not sure if the FMVs were added in a later update because I see reviews saying they aren't there... Well, they are there so... The touch screen controls are.... Acceptable I guess. Sometimes you can tap on a target and it will not attack that target. This is because the entire screen is one giant "confirm" button. Aside from that, Legendary RPG.

Keep in mind I remember the original SNES cartridge version. So yes... It's been that long. That said... This was almost flawless. My ONLY real complaint is how imprecise the d-pad simulation is for the touchscreen. But that's really only an issue at ONE specific point in the game. Aside from this I loved this SO SO much. This was reliving 7th grade summer for me. When RPGs were made right. Story... Character... Emotion. One of the best games made. Ever. To this day.
