. Crono bravely follows in pursuit, but the world into which he
emerges is one of four centuries ago. In Chrono Trigger prepare
yourself to journey into the forgotten past, distant future, and
even to the very End of Time.
The Worlds of Past, Present and Future
In Chrono Trigger you'll journey back to Prehistory (65,000,000
B.C.) where humans and reptiles battle to wipe each other from
existence. Antiquity (12,000 B.C.) is an age where the world is
divided between people whose continent is buried in snow, and the
magical kingdom of Zeal, a highly advanced civilization. The
Middle Ages (600 A.D.) is an era of s and sorcery, a dark
time when the armies of Fiendlord rule over the land.
The Present (1000 A.D.) is the time period in which Crono, Lucca
and Marle live. It is a bright and peaceful age. However, in the
Future (2300 A.D.), an era of despair has taken hold with rogue
machines ruling the world. After the day of the apocalypse in
1999 A.D., the prosperous civilization of humanity crumbled and
the remaining people struggle to stay alive. And, finally, there
remains the End of Time -- a place with no era to call its own.
This confluence of time's streams transcends spatiotemporal
boundaries. It is here at the gravitational center for all
temporal flotsam that Spekkio -- the Master of War -- serves as
your guide on time's treacherous roads.
Battle Systems and gameplay
This game utilizes a revised version of the groundbreaking
Active Time Battle (ATB) System. Chrono Trigger features
exhilarating combat in which the clock is constantly ticking.
Characters must first wait as the ATB gauges charge, and then
perform an action. This makes strategic timing a crucial element
in your battle plan. In addition to standard attacks, each
character has an array of special Tech skills and powerful combos
known as Dual and Triple Techs. Cooperate with other characters
to unleash over 50 unique and devastating moves!
Chrono Trigger utilizes great story-telling, interesting
characters, action-packed gameplay, and the unique controls of
the Nintendo DS to deliver a fun and well-rounded role-playing
game on a portable platform.
