Chrono Trigger's gameplay deviates from that of traditional RPGs in that, rather than appearing in random encounters, many enemies are openly visible on field maps or lie in wait to ambush the party.
Areas such as forests, cities, and similar places are depicted as more realistic scaled down maps, in which players can converse with locals to procure items and services, solve puzzles and challenges, or encounter enemies. Navigation occurs via an overworld map, depicting the landscape from a scaled down overhead view. The player controls the protagonist and his companions in the game's 2D fictional world, consisting of various forests, cities, and dungeons. Nintendo Power described certain aspects of Chrono Trigger as revolutionary, including its multiple endings, plot-related sidequests focusing on character development, unique battle system, and detailed graphics.Īn example of a battle from the SNES version.Ĭhrono Trigger features standard RPG gameplay with several innovations.
