This is where the fun comes in, as this game has a combo system. To combat this you have special abilities that will knock enemies around the field. You fight enemies on a 3×3 field, and each part of the field can give the enemies different advantages and disadvantages. Radiant Historia’s combat system is turnbased, but not only do you have to worry about who will be attacking next, you will have to worry about where the enemies are at on this games grid system. This is where the game comes to shine the most in its combat system. In a lot of these “dungeons” you will be solving field puzzles and fighting your way through many different enemies. Each location it of itself can be seen as a dungeon to explore as you try and go from town to town. Outside of managing three different timelines, you will be exploring this world by going to different locations across the country. The gameplay of Radiant Historia is a different spin on the turnbased JRPG formula. With New Game+ the new story content goes a long way in adding replay value to the overall game. This allows newer players to play the game normally without this added story content if they never played the original game. At the start of the game you have the choice to pick between Append Mode and Perfect Mode. The best part about this new timeline is that it’s completely optional. You’ll be notified when Nemesia needs your help again and you can choose whether or not you want to help her.

This third timeline more or less acts like a side route to everything going on, and it integrates into the main story very well. Characters may have role reversals or the order of events may happen differently.Your goal here is to just get the artifacts. These timelines are pretty much what the name implies, they take an event you have already done in the story and add some changes to them. Here you meet a new character named Nemesia, and you are tasked with finding artifacts across the various timelines, the multiverse if you will. The final story aspect I want to talk about is the inclusion of a third timeline: The What If timeline. At first I didn’t know if I would like Stocke or his troop, but I quickly grew to love each and everyone of them. It could just be that I really enjoy near dystopian war stories in video games, but I can see why some would say that this game’s story is a classic.

It is from here that you learn that you have the ability to travel back to pivotal moments in your timeline and change the outcome to acquire the true history. After nearly dying in your escape, you wake up in Historia and are given a chance to go back in time to correct the mistakes you’ve made in the past, so that you can lead your squad to victory this time. Sadly, during one of your missions, you fail and your squad gets wiped out. You play as a special intelligence agent, Stocke, during an ongoing war. The story of Radiant Historia is an interesting one for sure. The original release of this game was critically acclaimed by critics and players alike, so now we need to ask: how does this remake still hold up as one of the classics in the history of the JRPG genre?

However, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology has a much higher production value with fully animated cutscenes, full voice acting, quality of life changes and an entire new timeline to explore. Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is a remake of the DS classic Radiant Historia.
