Modus Games has shared a new look at how battles and exploration play out across past, present, and future simultaneously in Cris Tales, the classically inspired RPG from developers Dreams Uncorporated and SYCK.
The gameplay joins heroine Crisbelle’s party as their quest leads through the picturesque coastal kingdom of Saint Clarity, its surprisingly dangerous underbelly, and crystal-coated dungeons teeming with deadly beasts. Players can cleverly spread their influence across time to solve plights plaguing the town’s citizens and provide a better future for everyone in the breathtaking wider kingdom of Crystallis.
