Story:
A chance encounter amid the festivities of Guardia's Millennial Fair in Leene Square introduces our young hero, Crono, to a girl by the name of Marle. Deciding to explore the fair together, the two soon find themselves at an exhibition of the Telepod, the latest invention by Crono's longtime friend Lucca. Marle, fearless and brimming with curiosity, volunteers to assist in a demonstration. An unanticipated malfunction, however, sends her hurtling through a rift in the dimensions. Taking hold of the girl's pendant, Crono bravely follows in pursuit. But the world into which he emerges is the one of four centuries before. Journey to the forgotten past, the distant future, and even to the very End of Time. The epic quest to save a planet's future makes history once again.

Definitely my favorite game of all time. The controls take some getting used to, you can't mute the music/sounds, and you can't customize the background colors like you can in the SNES version, but it does have the updated additional content from the DS version (no spoilers from me, if you know, you know!) Update: after the most recent update, I cannot progress past the first Lavos encounter, the game auto closes. You can now mute the music, but only through gaming hub, not the game itself.

Probably my favorite jrpg of all time, but literally any other version is better than this. Sometimes the app just fails to start and needs to be closed out. Sometimes your save file just loads into a black screen and you need to restart the game. Once you can get in, the controls are so terrible, I don't know how you would complete some later sections of the game at all. I won't find out, because after playing an hour, I'm going back to my NDS copy of the game.

In short this is a great port of the legendary Super Nintendo game. Touch controls are okay but not great (esp in active combat and puzzles), but that's the roughest edge here. Also unlike the older version you can now play in airplane mode! Boss battles are punishingly hard as always. For those new to the game, welcome to one of the most gobsmackingly beautiful 16-bit games of all time. This game is overflowing with charm, humanity, and ambition. A must play for RPG fans!
