Cris Tales

About

Cris Tales lets you mess with time to solve puzzles and battle enemies in a fantasy world. You play as Crisbell, a magic-wielding kid who can rewind and fast forward to alter events on the same screen. Each decision shifts the environment and affects future encounters. Combat requires timing attacks to manipulate enemy weaknesses across different time phases. You gather allies with special skills to navigate kingdoms threatened by a time-bending catastrophe. The story unfolds through choices that change relationships and outcomes without heavy dialogue or branching paths. The game’s time mechanics stand out for how they reshape levels and fights in real time. Players track 46 achievements, though most stay locked, the rarest requires precise execution (3.2% of people get it). Its mix of top-down exploration and turn-based tactics works smoothly on multiple platforms. The focus on cause and effect keeps progress feeling meaningful without overwhelming options.

Storyline

To stop the Time Empress and rewrite the future of the land, you will embark on a harrowing journey across the kingdoms, meeting and recruiting powerful allies to aid in the fight. Master their abilities and Crisbell’s unique Time Magic to overcome mighty foes: send them into the past to face their weaker, younger selves; to the future where they’ve succumbed to all the damage of a poison applied in the present; or create your own strategies in this one-of-a-kind combat system. Your choices in this world will have far-reaching consequences for everyone you meet. Peer into the past, act in the present, and watch as your choices dynamically change the future -- all on one screen as you play!
