The words “turn-based battle” basically constituted a taboo for a few years, but they are back in big way, as new players discover JRPGs and genre veterans seek games that remind them of the classics from decades ago. Colombian developers Dreams Uncorporated and SYCK took things a step further and decided to make a JRPG flavoured with influences from their Colombian homeland.

The story is quickly told – Crisbell, a young orphan, finds out she is a chosen time mage, able to use the power of time crystals. Together with Matias the frog (very dapper in his top hat and bow tie) and a group of other companions, she sets out to visit a number of cathedrals across the world to eventually become powerful enough to defeat the evil Time Empress.
