;D Ok don't hate me Lance, it's constructive criticism!!!
Ok here we go Chrono Alter.
A fan-made sequel to Chrono Trigger and proof that the dream is still alive. I like the game simply because the company known as square-enix are bastard childs.
Anyway, the gameplay is pretty good, the pacing seems a bit slow as it takes forever for the battle gauge to fill up. It also takes zero time for the magic spells to be cast, I was hoping for some more involved animations, but luminaire does that for me.
As for the story, I don't particularly like it. It seems alien. I just didn't like the new world. I am not bashing on you here Lance, but I definetley don't like the idea that Echoes is a sequel to Alter. I think echoes should stand alone in it's own right.
Other problems? Well some of the dialogue seems like it doesn't belong.
One line especially kills me: "The failure from Zeal?"
I feel that this line that Glenn says does not fit his character at all. I think it is more of an internet line if you know what I mean.
All of this aside... The coding is magnificent, the graphics are right on level with Chrono Trigger, and the AI is VERY GOOD as well as challenging.
So what do I rate Chrono Alter... seeing as how it's such a short game I gotta give it a 6 out of 10. I am rating this game against everything I have played before hand though.
As a game in it's own right, probably a 7.5/10.
