Chrono: The Radical Dreamers Edition
Japanese role-playing games (RPGs) are rarely appreciated in their time. When Chrono Trigger first released in 1995, it was at the tail end of the Super Nintendo’s shelf life, and western audiences weren’t especially warm to RPGs. Now, it’s regarded as a classic.
When the sequel, Chrono Cross, came out in 1999 on the PlayStation, players had more RPGs than they knew what to do with and it was swept into the tides of time. Now it’s time for Cross appreciation. Square has remastered the cult classic for new audiences with The Radical Dreamers Edition. This HD version not only adds quality-of-life upgrades and visual touch-ups, but bundles in Radical Dreamers, a spin-off only available through the Japanese Nintendo Satellaview, where SNES games were broadcast live like a TV channel. The sprawling journey through history and fantasy comes to PlayStation, Xbox, Steam and the Switch April 7.
