Crono and friends stumble through time and discover a catastrophe they must stop. Made by a dream team of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest creators, it is often called the greatest RPG ever made.
Kit's verdict · 9.7/10
Tight, generous and endlessly replayable; the RPG with no wasted minutes.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Enemies on screen and fast, combo-driven battles
- Over a dozen endings
- Yasunori Mitsuda's timeless score
Not so much
- Fairly easy for genre veterans
- Shorter than many players expect
Play it if anyone who wants a classic RPG that respects your time.
Skip it if players who need modern difficulty options or voice acting.

No cheat codes
Chrono Trigger doesn't have cheat codes. The tips and secrets below are the next best thing.
Tips
Play it better
- Experiment with party combos; Dual and Triple Techs are the strongest attacks in the game.
- Many enemies change element or counterattack; check what they do before spamming magic.
- Your behaviour at the Millennial Fair early on matters later, so be honest and kind.
- Positioning matters: line-attack and area techs hit more enemies when they bunch up.
- Equip status-blocking accessories before tough bosses rather than relying on healing.
- Side quests near the end give your characters their best gear and abilities, so do them before the final fight.
