You’re incentivised to push forward not just to further unravel the mystery of where (or what) Lea is, but to also see what kind of meta-commentary and unique conflicts arise from being part of this game in a game. Though CrossCode never quite reaches the level of total immersion – where it truly feels like you’re playing an online game – it’s the little details in the world and the nuances in delineating the ‘real’ players from the CrossWorlds NPCs that make this world a delight to interact with. The game’s characters, locales, and weapons are constructed from a mixture of 'Instant Matter' and augmented reality trickery, which combine to grant players the most immersive RPG experience ever. The big selling point of CrossWorlds, however, is the fact that the game does not take place in a fictitious, virtual world, but a real place that’s simply on another planet. Although this Switch version notably fumbles a bit on the performance side of things, we can confidently say that CrossCode is a wonderfully engaging RPG that’s more than worth your time.Īfter a deliberately confusing opening that picks up halfway through the story, the game focuses on an amnesiac girl named Lea, who’s an avatar for a fictional MMO called CrossWorlds. Luckily for us, it turns out Radical Fish Games made good on its promise, nailing the execution and delivering fans a quirky sort of RPG that hits all the right notes. An ambitious goal, to say the least, and one that approximately 2,326 backers (who collectively came up with a little over $100k) believed in enough and wanted to see being seen to completion. Called CrossCode, it promised to merge the RPG trappings and graphical style of '90s SNES RPGs with the world and puzzle design of the Zelda series. Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked)Ī little over five years ago, a new studio named Radical Fish Games unveiled its dream concept for a new game.
