I loved Chrono Trigger as a kid, the game deserves to be one of the greatest games made by a "dream team". In search of a similar game I read many people shilling for Radiant Historia hailing it as a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger.
Synopsis -
The game is about an aryan straight white male and his bunch of multicultural friends who indulge in time travel shenanigans to save the world. The game is a hybrid of JRPG and Visual Novel. Yep, Visual Novel.
The Aryan Male works under a Jew who gives him the Torah that grants him the ability to meddle with history. The game branches into two paths. One involves overthrowing Communist China ruled by corrupt politicians who installed a puppet W*man as a queen to rule behind and the other is to overthrow techno-industrial America ruled by a Bald Black American in the name of Jesus. With the power of friendship, Thunberg approved eco-communism and gender equality they set to save the world. They travel to Wakanda and meet with niggers, and Columbia to meet with tree-hugging gypsies to find out the truth of why they are forced to fight infinite proxy wars for ruling elites.
Gameplay -
The timetravel is a joke. This game is a VN railroad and you have no influence on how the game ends, except for the bad endings that you're forced to watch if you want the true ending.
The gameplay is NOTHING similar to Chrono Trigger. You had the option to skip battles, enemies run away from you if you're strong. This isn't the case here. It's similar to old Final Fantasy. So similar that the final boss is a blatant ripoff on God Kefka.
All enemies rush towards you, enemies level with you so there's no point in grinding. There's a significant spike in difficulties as you progress chapters. Enemies always appear in 5+ numbers just to shave of a good chunk of your party's health and make you waste time.
Luckily, you get to skip enemies with an easy press to win option but skipping enemies will be punished with stupidly hard bosses.
Boss fights always pack a punch. Bosses start coming with 10k to 20k HP that it'd take 20 to 30 minutes to finish them off. Every boss after a while starts to come with minions, even the boss would be easier to finish off but the minions would need a 10 to 15 minutes to finish them off.
Coming to level design, you get to walk through long corridors, back and forth all over. There aren't any puzzles, if there are they're made to make you waste time. Previous areas you visited have to be revised because enemies level with you and you need to waste time to meet the 20+ hour limit that comes with the Official Nintendo Seal.
Quality -
Production values are good, could use different music because they keep playing the same sobby music everytime.
I DROPPED Radiant Historia and just saw the playthrough. 2/5. The game shouldn't even be brought near Chrono Trigger.
