NintendObs Daily. Tuesday, July 20.
Today's title went through quite a rough journey but it has now arrived. Originally supposed to launch on November 17 last year, Cris Tales underwent a first delay to "sometime in early 2021" until its final release date that is today. There also was a demo available in 2020 but unfortunately it is no longer on the eShop. Cris Tales is a Japanese style RPG made in Colombia that focuses on the topic of time, making you play the past, the present and the future at the same time. What actions you take in the past, be they in the game world, battles or even sidequests, influence the present, whereas what you do in the present influences the outcome of the future, pretty much all in real time. True to the JRPG genre, the characters are charming, the lore interesting, the art beautiful and the battle system well-thought-out.
