Radiant Historia was a dated-looking game on DS, and unlike some of Atlus' other 3DS remakes for games of a semi-recent vintage (think Etrian Odyssey: Untold), Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology doesn't do anything to improve the looks of things. That might not be evident at first glance. That is, it takes something good and refines it into something great. Atlus' Radiant Historia may not have the fan cachet of a Chrono Trigger - despite revolving around a similar time-traveling premise! - but its new remake for 3DS does precisely what a remake is supposed to do. Meanwhile, the new Steam release of Chrono Trigger is… well, it's tolerable and plays the same as before, but good lord is it an eyesore.īut wait: There's one other RPG remake that has gone largely unsung, and that's a shame. The 'upgraded' version of Secret of Mana somehow manged to be buggier than the original, featured a less thoughtful user interface, and lost touch with the original game's appealing sense of physicality. Over the past few weeks, we've seen some disappointingly spotty classic RPG reissues. Mission control for retronauts former EIC of 1UP.com and taking dapper (and frogs) back from the Nazis.
