Cross Reverie is Looking to Bring the JRPG Pain to Trial-Spoiling Evil Entities

Shadowy evil just loves messing with ancient rituals, doesn't it? Some folks from Xylera were looking forward to having their wishes granted by the Trial of the Ancients, an opportunity that only comes up every one hundred years, so of course an evil entity had to come along and mess that up for everyone. That means a paddling, delivered through honest to goodness turned-based JRPG combat in SinxSoft's Cross Reverie. And you can actually see the enemies while you're exploring the maps! Modern JRPGs, you so wacky.

Cross Reverie's story is split up in different ways depending on the characters you're playing as. The game is divided into four nations with two player characters from each area, and these groups will experience the story differently and come across decisions unique to their version of the campaign. This means multiple endings for each character as well as each nation, promising a lot of narrative depth and replayability. The game does open up with a specific run involving Raine and Lance, the character from Veronis, but will open up to allow you to see the story from different angles after you beat it for the first time.

The developers expect to keep you playing it multiple times through solid turn-based combat with a few interesting tweaks. The game features a turn order bar so you'll always know when you're about to get smacked. You've got special attacks that will let you mess up that order, though, so you can keep your enemies from doing anything through smart play. Not only that, but you can weaken enemies through certain combinations of character abilities, allowing for a neat finisher. This encourages a little experimentation with your foes, as finding the right combination brings about a spectacular end. With its own spin on turn-based combat, a focus on story, and some pretty artwork, Cross Reverie is looking to be well worth your Kickstarter dollars.
