The value story
Across all 23 discounts in the 5 years tracked, the median cut is 60 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 93 percent. FINAL FANTASY VI ($17.99, scores 87) outscores it, and so does FINAL FANTASY IV ($17.99, scores 56). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
More about CHRONO CROSS: THE RADICAL DREAMERS EDITION
Steam's global achievement data puts about 17 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 34.3-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 24 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2022 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,866 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 269 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 34 percent of the 573 reviews written there were positive, against 61 percent overall, and those are 26 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

What players say
it ok. i never had any issues with this version, i guess the devs finally delivered. I finally played this game and the story is interesting but the game just sucks. i thought it was funny how one of or the hardest boss in the game was just a generic "Miguel" the cgi looks like vomit and having like 100 characters for an rpg didnt impress me. the game is a complete mess and it could have been better if it was made...

+ nice length story, alot of characters and stories to explore in one + maintains a nice difficulty which is rare for retro rpg's of the time + story is sporadic but is deep if you give it the time + unique gameplay and battle that avoids feeling too predictable just in time + little to no hand holding + overal great sequel to chrono trigger but they had to work to get it all to make sense + unique battle with alot...
This is one of the best games I have ever played , Originally thinking it was just nostalgia from playing this as a kid , Chrono Cross has always been something I needed to get back to actually finishing , seeing some of the negative reviews on the Steam Reviews genuinely aches me . Sure , I crashed twice, not that big of an issue . But it makes up in great combat , the BEST OST in Gaming , and some great character...
