The turn-based combat in Cris Tales will feature a unique "time magic" mechanic that enables Crisbell to see and alter the timelines of her enemies in battle: Learn from the past, act in the present, and rewrite the future, as the trailer says. The story will unfold across five distinct regions and ultimately lead into a branching ending that will be profoundly impacted by the choices and actions of Crisbell and her allies.
The art style is gorgeous, and while the time-warping mechanic is difficult to envision even with the help of the trailer (for me, at least), you can get a taste of it in action courtesy of the demo that's available on Steam from today until June 24. There's also a website with more at cristalesgame.com. Cris Tales is expected to be out sometime next year.
