I don't recommend this game unless you are a big fan of this genre. I have played a lot of video games for over 10 years and some of it is hard for me (although I don't really play rpgs). It is clear the devs made a game for themselves because they love this genre. However, the effects of that are as follows: -The dungeons take a very long time to complete, multiple hours long, including the first dungeon. -There is a very long tutorial because there are so many game mechanics. -The player must execute up to 4 of these game mechanics at once in order to complete the puzzles in the first dungeon, and do it very quickly. I have finished the Bergen cave dungeon at the time of reviewing this, it seems like the only thing worth doing is the main story, the side quests and side content are mostly boring grind, but there are big rewards for some of them. Trying to find the hidden item in each area is sometimes fun as well. The Bergen Cave dungeon has puzzles aren't too difficult mentally, but some of them require a really fast execution, so much so that I couldn't figure out a puzzle and had to look up a guide. This is mostly because I didn't realize that I had to do something about twice as fast and thought it was impossible until I read the guide. I recommend slowing down the puzzle speed to 75%, the devs are turbo-gamers and they made this game for an highly skilled audience. There were also places that I didn't find initially simply because the rooms were too dark, that is just bad design. The combat is very fun, deep, and has a huge skill tree with many different branches and lots of different abilities to choose from.
I would admit that during my high school days I pirated this game (because it looked cool and I was still broke at the time) and finished it and deemed it one of my favorite games. I don't know if this is an apology but I bought it full price and finished it with 100% achievements and also bought another copy to my friend for him to experience PEAK and as of this time, I still regard this as one of the best games that I have ever played. That is all Thank you and I am excited for the next game in development and yes, I have bought Alabaster Dawn since its release. EDIT: I have bought the DLC as well and loved every bit of it.
I feel the term "hidden gem" has kinda lost a bit of its meaning over the last couple of years. You see people using the term for games that, sure, are gems, but are certainly not hidden. One of the big offenders of this that comes to mind for me is Celeste. Sure, the game is an extremely well crafted experience, but I would hardly call it "hidden". That being said, I feel CrossCode is an amazing example of a hidden gem. I discovered this one after I was recommended the demo for this team's upcoming game Alabaster Dawn. After completing the two hours it had in store, I was hooked, and decided to look through the devs previous work. I picked up the game with it's DLC on sale for $8. 118 hours later, I can tell you now, that was probably the best $8 I've ever spent. CrossCode has easily wormed it's way into my top 10 indies. In CrossCode, you play through an in-universe MMO titled CrossWorlds. Not only do you get the beautifully written lore of the MMO itself, but you also learn more and more about the original dev team and the larger company behind CrossWorlds. The cast of characters on display here are also extremely charming and memorable. My favorite of which would probably be the main protagonist, Lea. Despite her vocabulary being very limited, Lea's interactions with all of the other characters always feel very real. One of my favorite interactions is a bit over halfway into the game between Lea and Emilie, one of the party member that joins you on your journey. Without getting into spoilers, there's a pretty big event that causes a small rift between the two. When the innevitable scene of them making up eventually comes, the emotion comes across beautifully even though Lea mainly says one word repeatedly throughout. As for gameplay, CrossCode exceeds here too. While I will say, despite there being some sense of progression, none of the abilites you recieve feel like major game changers to me. However, CrossCode's combat and puzzles were able to keep me engaged from beginning to end. When it comes to combat, you have four main abilities: melee, ranged, shield, and dash. All of these can be upgraded as well with special moves to deal more damage. While the combat looks pretty simple on the surface and doesn't ask too much of you early on, it takes a lot to truly master it. The puzzles also, as I got later and later into the game, constantly had me scratching my head, sometimes sitting in the same spot for 5-10 minutes trying to figure out what I was supposed to do. Despite the game not being too demanding, you should still expect to die and struggle a bit along the way. CrossCode is an extremely well crafted action RPG, and an AMAZING first outting from Radical Fish. I do have my fair share of critiques, mainly with the pacing and certain beats of the story, but they're not enough to detract from the rest of the experience. If you consider picking up the game, I highly recommend picking up the bundle with the A New Home epilogue DLC. It does an amazing job tying up a lot of the loose ends from the base game. Overall, I'm extremely excited to see what this team cooks up with Alabaster Dawn and beyond.
I followed the development of this game since it was first announced. Played the demo, and knew that once the full release would come out it would be one of the best games I ever played. I played it first to completion before the DLC came out, and finishing it I was catatonic for a week, just amazed at how it delivered on everything I hoped. Now I played it again, and even knowing the plot points, I was once again brought to tears at some of the reveals. Playing the DLC this time around, I am once again amazed. The announcement of Alabaster Dawn, and the clear parallels in gameplay are nothing to me if not a promise that the next game is just going to be just as amazing as this game is. Honestly, that CrossCode does not have the same status as Stardew Valley, Undertale, or Slay the Spire is mind boggling to me.
