Like your typical text adventure, the game involves lots of reading, creating a mental map of your travels and making a few choices (like the direction you're moving, or deciding to attack or dodge in battle). You play as Serge, a young thief working together with his rambunctious companion Kid and a mysterious cloaked mage named Magil. It also helps that Radical Dreamers is relatively simple. But it turns out I can still make room for a text adventure title on the Switch – it's something I can play while my daughter is busy with her Lego creations, or while I pray for my son to stay asleep at night. I haven't had much time to play any games since the birth of my son three months ago.

It's somewhat fitting that Radical Dreamers finds me now, when I'm juggling family life with a toddler and a newborn.

Now with the Chrono Cross: Radical Dreamers Edition, I finally have an easy way to catch up on both of Chrono Trigger's follow-ups. For whatever reason - maybe it was the daily struggle to survive as an adult, or working like crazy to get into the prestigious world of tech reporting - I never got around to playing it. So, for the past few decades, the only way to play a translated version of Radical Dreamers was through an unofficial ROM hack.
