Cris Tales (PS5)

Die Grafik wunderschön bunt, die Story (bis auf den überstürzten Beginn) motivierend, und im Herzen das rundenbasierte Kampfsystem in Kombination mit der cleveren Zeitmanipulation! Cris Tales weiß einfach rundum zu überzeugen, und jeder der sich selbst einen Freund von Rollenspiele nennt, sollte unbedingt einen Blick auf diese Indie-Perle werfen.

While Cris Tales offers a stirring adventure — packed full of wit and character — numerous mechanical shortcomings frequently put the brakes on its excitable spirit. A victim of unfulfilled ambition, Cris Tales doesn’t quite deliver on its clever premise or its chrono-combat. There’s no denying the passion and talent of the developers, however, manifested in stunning visuals and a wonderful cast.

Despite its shortcomings and frustrations, Cris Tales is an enjoyable adventure for RPG fans to take.

Cris Tales is definitely worth a playthrough if you’re looking for something light-hearted and a little bit old-school. Just keep your expectations low when it comes to time-based gameplay.

The gorgeous visual style, superb voice acting, clever mechanics and emotive story-telling all combine together here to make an incredible title. Then, with the addition of comprehensive and innovative uses of time in all parts of the game, it becomes a near perfect experience.

It delivers a wonderfully satisfying story about a group of troubled individuals striving to save the world for their own reasons, and along the way finding a place to belong with each other. Hilarious characters like Willhelm keep things from getting too stressful, and Crisbell's powerful Time Mage abilities lead to some intriguing narrative choices, fun puzzles, and engaging combat.
