Chrono Trigger Parents Guide: Age Rating, Safety & Tips
Recommended age: 12+
Recommended play time: 1-2 hours. Certainly not all night, otherwise how will they get up for school tomorrow?
Oh, Chrono Trigger! This is a great way to connect with the kids, trust me. My oldest (15) didn't play this one, but I remember talking to my friends who played it when they were kids... Turns out it was a huge game. So there's a chance this is something he'd be excited to hear 'Dad' knows, even if it looks like science fiction to me. I'm trying, right?
What is this game
Listen, it's like an animated movie that you play, but instead of one place, you jump through time! The kids control a group of small heroes - it might look a bit old-fashioned today, but back then it was the hottest thing. They go on adventures, fight monsters in turns (not like a real war, more like a card game), and try to save the world from an evil lord who threatens to destroy everything. And all of this happens in several different time periods, from a million years ago to the distant future. It took me a week to understand what 'time travel in a game' even means, let alone something called an 'RPG'.
