Marle subsequently tags along to the demonstration, where Luccas device malfunctions and sends Marle into another realm, in a different time and space. On his way to Luccas showcase, Chrono runs into Marle, a very hyperactive girl who Chrono finds familiar. Chrono, the games protagonist, rushes to the celebration to witness his friend Luccas latest creation, a teleporter of sorts. The games main setting is the Kingdom of Guardia, which is celebrating its millennial with a huge festival. As such, it is good to see that Chrono Triggers story remains largely unchanged. Back when Chrono Trigger was first released on the SNES, it was not as readily available in the West as many other games, so sadly many gamers have never had the chance to try it out. To tell you the truth, it shapes up pretty darn well. So, just how well does the game shape up after all these years? Chrono Trigger for the Nintendo DS is a game that not only uses time as a key motif in its narrative, but it is a game that stands up well to the test of time, as one of Square Enixs best non-Final Fantasy RPGs. Sometimes it can alter our perception of games that we loved years ago, and sometimes it simply makes us realise that the games we all knew and loved are actually pretty damn bad. The Nintendo DS remake brings fresh new features to the journey – a new dungeon has been added and you can now play with friends using DS Wireless Play! The dual screen display and Touch Screen add a new twist to the visuals and gameplay, although you can opt to play in ‘classic’ mode if you prefer the original control system.Time is a funny thing. Crono will find plenty of other friends on his travels and needs help from all of them if he’s to restore the natural order of things.Ĭhrono Trigger uses the Active Time Battle system, enhanced with a range of strategic skills, which makes for the smoothest RPG fighting experience you’ll encounter.

A mistake at a trade fair sends their friend Marle back in history and kick starts a chain of events as a result of this rupture in the time continuum. It’s all thanks to the inventiveness of his childhood friend Lucca – a young lady with a penchant for time machines.

He will cross the boundaries of both space and time as he races to avert disaster for all humankind. The action centres around Crono – an everyday kind of guy who gets swept up in the most dramatic quest in history. Originally released in 1995 on the SNES, Chrono Trigger was lauded as one of the classics of the genre and has been held up as an example of great game-making ever since. You’ll journey from the dawn of the ages to the end of the world in the legendary Chrono Trigger, which has been remade exclusively for Nintendo DS, providing the superlative RPG experience. Join Crono and his band of friends as he battles through history on the most far-reaching mission of all time.
