This is a bad port of a bad port of a great game. - Terrible filter on everything. - Tiling issues evident even in the Store page's pictures, made more obvious by the aforementioned filter. - Awful UI that Square Enix apparently thinks is bad too, because none of the pictures show it. - Backwards controls that can't seem to be changed. Back is select, and select is back. - Awful font. - The only option in terms of standard PC settings is the game's resolution.Show moreShow less
Despite a rocky start, CHRONO TRIGGER has been recieving much-needed attention since its initial February release. Many of the features that irked or otherwise hindered players have all been patched, and the game is now actually playable for it. Unfortunately, this may be too little too late with some, as this release has already garnered a reputation about it. That said, due to the various patches made, newcomers will not even experience many of these shortcomings. If you were turned off by the porting disaster this originally was, Please consider the game again.Show moreShow less

All you need to know is that this is a straight port of the mobile version, and includes a horrible font and disgusting sprite filtering. There are no graphics options apart from resolution.Show moreShow less
So this would be a good time for Steam to implement Nuetral rating. The Good: + It's Chrono Trigger on Steam! + The gameplay is still there and it works alright with a controller + Music sounds perfect no complaints The Bad: - No graphics options of any kind besides Resolution options(Emulators have more options) - Can't customise the UI color(You could in SNES) The Ugly: - Textures look awful because there blown up. - Textures don't line up properly and it looks UGLY. - Some characters look disjointed becasue of how the textures "fit" together. The Verdict: - I don't fault anyone for not wanting to buy it. - Squeenix needs to step it up on these ports. - If you don't care for the looks and just want to play it then I recommend it because it is still a classic. Thanks for reading my review. Have a good day. P.S Really wish there was a nuetral rating! Get it on Gaben!Show moreShow less
A very lazy port of the mobile version of the game. The tap overlay is still there as if you should be clicking it with a mouse even when you play with a gamepad. Just overall bad UI and the aliasing of the sprites is excessive. I'll be sticking to the DS or SNES version instead.Show moreShow less
All right, this was not a review I expected to write. Square's attitude towards their classic games has been... kind of confused. - SQUARE: Hey, you're a Final Fantasy fan, right? ME: Yeah! SQUARE: How would you like the PlayStation megahit, Final Fantay 7, on PC? ME: That would be awesome! SQUARE: Well, it must be your lucky day, because here you go! ME: Wow, I... well, this is the Windows 95 version, okay... I mean, the PlayStation one is probably the definitive version but it's mostly the same I guess... SQUARE: How about... the landmark Super Nintendo title, Final Fantasy 4! ME: Oh, yeah, that would be amazing! SQUARE: Well, here you go... Final Fantasy 4, the DS verion, FINALLY PORTED TO PC! You can thank me later! ME: The... the DS version? But, why, though? I guess it looks OK on the DS, but on the PC it looks terrible, and the Super Nintendo version is the one that everyone liked... SQUARE: How about... SNES classic Final Fantasy 6? ME: Hmm, I don't think there was a DS version of that, so... yes please? SQUARE: Here you go, Final Fantasy 6... the mobile phone version, REMASTERED so that all the artwork has been redrawn to look like smooth flat blobs with no contrast or shadow! ME: But why would you do that? It's not... SQUARE: How about we apologize with Final Fantasy 3? ME: Is it... SQUARE: THE DS VERSION, YES! ME: Please stop. SQUARE: Did you say "more please?" Then here's Final Fantasy 5! ME: ... SQUARE: Also redrawn, like Final Fantasy 6! ME: Ugh. SQUARE: Hey, I know how to get your attention... what's your favorite RPG? ME: You wouldn't. SQUARE: You like Chrono Trigger, don't you? One of the best RPGs on the Super Nintendo, heck, arguably one of the best JRPGs of all time? ME: Don't you do it SQUARE: Well, here you go, just as you wanted, here's Chrono Trigger... ME: DON'T YOU DO IT SQUARE: Chrono Trigger - THE PORT OF THE MOBILE PHONE VERSION that is! ME: AAAAAAARGH! YOU MONSTERS! SQUARE: What, didn't you always WANT Chrono Trigger with a gross blur filter over everything and covered with weird ugly touchscreen controls to click with your mouse? ME: NO! No, I didn't want that, nobody wanted that! Nobody who looks at any of these remakes is going to go "Wow, that really looks amazing, so much better than any modern PC games!" The polygonal stuff was originally designed for a ten year old handheld console, for crying out loud, and the sprite based stuff looks worse than the default RPGmaker assets. It's not going to impress people who don't already like the games, and people who DO like the games are going to be annoyed that you changed them! SQUARE: But we can't just re-release a twenty year old game with no improvements, who would buy that? ME: FANS would buy that! Fans who liked the original game! Fans who like it LESS when you move AWAY from the original game and mess with the graphics or dialogue just for the sake of saying you changed something, anything, regardless of if it made the game better or not. People who like these games actually DO like these games, we're not just saying it to be nice or something, and when you get rid of the stuff we like, we're not suddenly going to like them MORE! SQUARE: So, you're saying that you would seriously be okay with us just releasing a game from the nineties, with no improvements or adjustments? ME: YES! SQUARE: ... Okay, here you go. Chrono Trigger has been patched to look more like the SNES original. It's not perfect, but it's closer, at least. ME: ...I need to go write a review. REVIEW: This is one of the greatest RPGs ever made. Welcome back. -Show moreShow less
