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.

This is NOT 2 stars for the game itself. But the app. Beat it my first time, went through the ending, and the game crashed after the credits. Had to replay the final boss. Did it again. So on the Third time, I blasted past all dialog and skipped the final cutscene. Chrono Trigger is a 10/10 game. This app sucks. Also, it'd be really helpful if there was any audio control for the game itself. This is a me thing, but I like grinding and podcasting
