While it's far from Chrono Trigger's epic time-hopping journey, I found myself instantly vibing with Radical Dreamers. (It was a surprise to find that some of Chrono Cross's sweeping melodies first appeared in this simple text-only title.) Some gorgeous artwork helps to paint a picture of your journey, while Yasunori Mitsuda's music once again envelopes you in a unique atmosphere. Like your typical text adventure, the game involves lots of reading, creating a mental map of your travels and making a few choices (like the direction you're moving, or deciding to attack or dodge in battle). You play as Serge, a young thief working together with his rambunctious companion Kid and a mysterious cloaked mage named Magil. It also helps that Radical Dreamers is relatively simple. But it turns out I can still make room for a text adventure title on the Switch – it's something I can play while my daughter is busy with her Lego creations, or while I pray for my son to stay asleep at night. I haven't had much time to play any games since the birth of my son three months ago. ![]() It's somewhat fitting that Radical Dreamers finds me now, when I'm juggling family life with a toddler and a newborn. Now with the Chrono Cross: Radical Dreamers Edition, I finally have an easy way to catch up on both of Chrono Trigger's follow-ups. For whatever reason - maybe it was the daily struggle to survive as an adult, or working like crazy to get into the prestigious world of tech reporting - I never got around to playing it. So, for the past few decades, the only way to play a translated version of Radical Dreamers was through an unofficial ROM hack.
