Mechanics

Radiant History: Perfect Chronology is a classic jRPG game with turn-based and tactical combat system. The game's biggest attraction is the ability to travel in time, a feature similar to that used in Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. Players travel between different specific points in time in a clear graph visualizing three separate and alternative lines of Vainqueur's history. By making certain decisions, we influence the shape of the world and the fate of people living in it.

Players explore the full three-dimensional locations shown in isometric projection. We can speak with NPCs and perform various side quests. The fights take place on a separate screen, in an arena with grids. Our party can consist of up to three heroes. Everyone has a set of special skills and attacks, which are becoming stronger as they gain experience. Unlike the original, Radiant History: Perfect Chronology has three difficulty levels (friendly, normal and hard).

Technical aspects

Radiant History: Perfect Chronology offers a completely new three-dimensional graphics design. Soundtrack was composed again by Yoko Shimomura (known from Kingdom Hearts series, Final Fantasy XV, Legend of Mana) who added completely new music tracks to the existing ones. The title also has voice overs, absent from the original, as well as previously unseen animated cut-scenes.
