This game does a better "Sword Art Online" Than the actual sword art online games. Oh, and the games mechanics, characters and graphics are top tier! 10/10
Bought this game + DLC on sale and didn't touch it for some time. A few weeks later and i was "hey, i have nothing better to do, lemme check out this game" and BAM, played it nonstop and it's now my Top 1 game (even got all the achievements lol). Lovable characters, amazing combat mechanics, beautiful art style and music, well crafted puzzles, easy 10/10. Really worth giving it a try.
I can't describe it but something about this game feels so good. It may just be everything though
Really fun game, love the puzzles, gameplay and story :)
Game well-worth full price.
-amazing battle mechanics
-plenty of main/side quests
-uniquely designed boss fights
-x1 expansion pack
-assortment of weapons/armor
-top tier story writing
Solid 8+/10, worth full price, sale price is a steal. =]
Good game, a very old school zelda style-ish game with a combination of puzzle solving and challenging combat.
However puzzles can get quite overwhelming if you are not a puzzle enthusiast, fortunately for me I love solving stuff so this is my jam but I do have to say that the pacing and the balance between puzzle and combat is very jarring. It would be better if they can tone down the puzzle aspect
Puzzles and Combat is phenomenal in this game. Story is quite intriguing too. Can only recommend
Just starting out, but this game scratches that "being 12 again and running around elwynn forest with a sense of adventure" itch that no game has come remotely close to scratching. If you're nostalgic for that sort of thing 100% give this a shot.
This is possibly one of my favourite games, like top 3. The puzzles are hard yet teach you all the mechanics needed well. The combat is so fluid and fun. BIG SKILL TREE. The story is brilliant and the characters are all so expressive. The music is so peaceful/tense/joyous and very much fits the situation. The over world is massive and fun to explore, with parkour at every step and screen. The art is charming. Overall I very much love this game, and I highly recommend it.
There's a side quest where mafia parrots overtake a building you have to be the hostage negociator.
Really love the characters an the stoy ad the gameplay! excited for the teams next game!!! 0w0
It starts out strong but quickly becomes an absolute chore to play. The story isn't great and the characters that the game forces you to run around with are awful. One is has the temperament of an ADHD riddled toddler and the other is the insufferable guy from the "Uhm Axually" memes and having to read their banter makes my eyes bleed. Many of the puzzles are not hard, but tedious. A lot of the enemies just fly around or burrow around completely impervious to attacks and many, if not most, fights end with you character standing perfectly still aiming at enemies and just waiting for them to become vulnerable. It's a drag that most fights grind to a complete stop this way. 90% of all chests in the game reward you components to gear that you can combine at trader. Basically, every chest is about 1/8 of a piece of gear that will mostly likely be obsolete by the time you make it. I say 1/8th and not 1/4th because most gear needs more of each component than you get in a chest. On the other hand, a lot of times you can get those same parts by fighting enemies. Both become a chore. It's not great. There's a quest that has you hunting down all of the plants in the game and getting a require amount of drops from all of them. It's terrible. Why would anyone want to fight plants for hours on end.
IDK, I remember the hype around this game. Maybe I'm too late to the party. Maybe if I had got it when it first came out it would feel fresh and new and exciting. I'll prolly end out rushing through the rest of the game just so that I can say I beat it but I'd rather do my laundry, the dishes, shovel snow, make my bed and vacuum up my house. At least when those chores are done I have something to show for it.
Great game, beat it on my switch, and enjoyed every second. 10/10.
Portable its the way to go, was kind of annoying doing all the puzzles in PC (unless you use joystick), but didnt have problems in Switch.
a love letter to classic RPGs, Cross Code tests your dexterity, and mind in a game filled with wonderful worldbuilding, and above par quests.
Haven't yet completed it but I love it. Great story and characters, fun mechanics and combat.
My literally only complaint is that on my PC (this doesn't happen on my laptop), it suddenly started lagging extremely badly whenever I'm in an area for longer than about a minute (it's inconsistent on when it starts lagging, but it always does). This only started happening about 20 hours in. I found the fix to be downloading the newest version of nw.js and pasting it into the game folder, but this breaks achievements (you do unlock them all at once retroactively if you load the game after verifying files/reinstalling the game to get the original files back). It would be cool if the devs could up the nw.js version.
If 125 hours and all the other reviews saying how good it is doesn't convince you to try it probably not your sort of game.
Really amazing game. Hooked right from the start on both gameplay and story. Characters are fun.
CrossCode is a charming faux-MMO in which you play as Lea, a mute girl with amnesia attempting to recover her memories. Being a faux-MMO, you have all the usual suspects: infinitely respawning enemies, gear and stat-based progression, equipment that takes some grinding to obtain, and a fairly boilerplate in-universe storyline. Speaking of,
STORY
Because CrossCode has a game within the game, there are 2 storylines that run more or less in parallel: the story of CrossCode, and the story of CrossWorlds. CrossWorlds story concerns the in-lore legacy of The Ancients, a rather generically named species that used to inhabit the moon Shadoon, where they built The Track, which serves as the stage for CW. Meanwhile, the story of CrossCode concerns Lea's journey to recover her memories, with a healthy serving of supporting characters. Said characters are wonderfully written, and were personally a huge reason why I kept playing.
GAMEPLAY
Now, if story was all there was to CrossCode, it would be a visual novel and not a faux-MMO. But no, there is gameplay, which may be simple on the surface but hides a breadth of complexity underneath. You have basic 360 movement, an automatic jump, a dash with a few iframes, a block with parry frames, a simple melee combo, and a spammable ranged attack. Later on you also unlock "Combat Arts", which are special moves that consume some SP but in exchange they grant some form of benefit, from just dealing extra damage, all the way to parrying an attack and slowing time to a crawl.
Now, being a faux-MMO, there is a bit of a grind in CC, mainly for specialist gear that boosts specific attributes, allowing you to pivot from a generalist all-rounder, into a more specialized role. However, at every point in the game you also have the choice of generic gear that only costs money, but also only boosts your core stats (meaning HP, attack, defence, and focus). Luckily for those who dislike grinding, generic armours are all you need if all you want is beat the game.
After you do beat the game, you have the option of challenging The Arena, where you can refight old bosses and enemies you've previously beaten for cosmetics, endgame items, and simply for fun. However, beating The Arena will be incredibly difficult, if not impossible, if you do not upgrade to specialist gear.
GRAPHICS
CrossCode has a charming pixelart anime-esque aesthetic, and all the environments are a joy to look at. The only drawback to the looks are in some platforming segments, as the forced perspective can make it hard to judge heights and distances. Other than that small flaw, the graphics look fantastic, especially on the character portraits.
OVERALL
CrossCode is a VERY good game, and I recommend getting it even off-sale. There is a demo that includes the prologue and the tutorial, and it should be enough to see if you like the gameplay. As of this writing, the developers at Radical Fish are also working on a new game, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a sale when their next project releases.
TLTR: Play it, it is a fantastic game, and definitly in my top 15.
Long Version:
I discovered this game when it was still a demo on itch, I played the demo without speaking a single word of English. I sucked at the demo, it took me nearly 2 hours to beat the Demo Boss.
In 2018 I found the Steam page of the game and I bought it 5 minutes after. Booted up the game & finished the tutorial in a 1h15, second trying the Boss.
Continued playing for around 15-20 hours exploring and got stuck, stopped playing because I did not have the time.
In 2020 during Covid, stuck at home, at decided to go back. I started a new game, beat the Tutorial even faster. Played for around 30 hours, doing side quests, stopped at the Boss of the Second Dungeon because I wasn't prepared enough.
Last Year I finally decided to finish the game, played through it in between work shifts, I yearned for Crosscode during those shifts.
I finished my last shift (summer job) at around 1am, played Crosscode until the ending, reached at around 5am.
Instantly bought the DLC, took a break of 1 year and a half, and now I finished the DLC.
Is was amazing, I have some complaints about the Equipement system, but that's only because I'm too dumb to think about it.
The DLC took me around 30-ish hours, with all side quests.
I'm very hyped for the Devs next game, and I'm gonna start the NG+ soon.
amazing game - great combat, great puzzles, great soundtrack.
Still the only video game to make me ugly cry. Some shows and movies have made me cry but this was the first game and oh my god.
Please play it. Pretty pretty please. You will be so happy with your decision.
Likeable characters, a great story and fantastic gameplay.
An all-round great experience.
RPG but good, story is a little bit bland where I am though but tbf I'm pretty early on atm.
One of the best indie games I've ever played, with a great story, fun combat, and difficult puzzles. The story focuses on Lea, one of only two silent protagonists I've seen who really WANT to talk but can't. (The other being Red from Transistor). Every now and then you'll "unlock" a new word that Lea can say in dialogue, and the characters/writing are so well done that it FEELS like you've gained a new game-changing power. Just because Lea can interact with her friends in a new way. I've never been so excited by the word "Why" before.
Despite being a fairly linear story, the replay value is surprisingly good due to the huge number of New Game Plus modifiers, some of which open up new dialogue and interactions in your second playthrough.
Overall it's a fantastic game, easily a 9/10. I'd love to see more from these devs, especially if it's in the same setting.
Art Piece: The premise and overall story is pretty creative and interesting. The character and world design/artwork is great.
Puzzle Platformer: The puzzles can be challenging which is good if you're into that, but the platforming is at times annoying. For example the auto jump will send you somewhere you can't go once in a while. The backtracking is also awful... there are a lot of item pickups to miss and as far as I can tell no real way to see where they might be, which is especially bad in dungeons when you need keys for doors.
Action/RPG: The combat looks like it should be good, but I found it exceptionally boring. 99% of the time it just devolves into spamming left-click over and over. Your finger will be tired by the end of the game. To make that worse you cannot really experiment because you have to go out of your way to farm items for respec.

This game is a gem, a shiny diamond in a sea of sand, with a couple flaws that iron themselves out towards the end of the game. The combat and visuals are stellar, the soundtrack is already on my Spotify because its so chill and catchy, it just plays very well overall. Aiming can get weird on a controller (you have to commit to a direction to shoot accurately which can feel hard to maneuver at times) but it feels best on a gamepad overall. The only gripe I have with the game is the puzzles, the first two and the last two dungeons are exceptionally designed, with a couple of annoying parts in the early dungeons, mostly due to lack of other abilities. But the issue is the puzzle difficulty spike in the middle areas. The final areas were much easier than the middle!
Considering the amount of game for its price, the near tear jerker of a story, and a game that plays and feels like an MMO, but with the latency of an offline game, this game is a must own. Get it on here, double down on GoG, I hope they make a sequel to continue the world building.
Review is incredibly mixed, and I would genuinely put it as neutral if I could. One the one hand, I think this game does everything (minus gameplay) INCREDIBLY well. The visuals are striking and beautiful, the characters are funny and interesting, the worldbuilding is incredible, etc. On the other hand, the gameplay is so awful at times. I REALLY enjoyed it early on, but the fun faded around the Faj'ro Temple. The game doesn't want to be hand-holdy, so it goes the opposite direction and tells you next to nothing about everything. Combat becomes less tedious than fun, relying on specific gimmicks or annoying enemy mechanics. Worst of all about the combat, especially later on, are the bosses. I truly think, more than anything, bosses should be a test of skill. From what I have experienced in-game, they are more a test of mechanics, and that's being generous.
Outside of combat and some temple puzzles though, I love this game. Like I said, the worldbuilding is amazing, I love how every area is unique, and the game tries to use mechanics, especially with elements, in the environment as much as possible. This makes some overworld puzzles really neat. I've seen people complain about the characters, but outside of a couple A p o l l o, I love them. They all have their own unique personalities and stories, and I seldom have bad moments or experiences with them. The music tracks feel so reminiscent of OSTs from other games I love, with a unique twist.
Truthfully, my biggest issues with the game just come down to it being too vague in almost every aspect, with an awful difficulty curve (that gets WORST at the Krys'Kajo Temple, where combat and puzzles are at their worst, I feel), but if you don't care about those, or if you're still interested, definitely worth the try
After playing through the base game and the DLC multiple times I really need to say something about what has become my favorite game of all time:
The story is interesting but needs a few chapters to really get going. However it is carried mainly by the characters and their interactions, which are really enjoyable. No matter if main or side character, everyone adds something to the story and most of the unanswered questions of the main game are answered in the DLC.
The gameplay is the highlight of Crosscode in my opinion. Fast-paced action combined with puzzles that harmonize very well, especially in the dungeons are what makes this game not only enjoyable but gave me a sense of satisfaction only games like Ghost of Tsushima or Horizon Zero Dawn have given to me so far. Still the sometimes tricky puzzles in the dungeons can slow down the gameplay loop a little bit too much in a first playthrough, so I understand if people don't like the puzzle elements all that well.
The pixel artstyle and the soundtrack definetly hit my sweet spot and made the game shine even brighter. The only downside of the graphics is that that it is sometimes hard to see on which height non-connected platforms are making some platforming parts rahter annoying.
Overall I can definetly recommend Crosscode to anyone who likes fast-paced action RPGs an either likes or doesn't mind the pixel artstyle (although I may be a bit biased here).
This game is absolutely fantastic. I thought it had surpassed hidden gem status and reached indie classic, but less than 15K reviews on Steam, currently, is not nearly enough for a game THIS good. I'm surprised it's not up there with Hollow Knight numbers, based on how often I see this game receive high praises. I know there are YouTubers who can explain how great this game is much better than me, pretty sure that's how I discovered it, so I'm just gonna gush about my favorite thing: the MUSIC! The OST for this game is so frickin' good, I have it saved in my YouTube videos so I can listen to it whenever, and I do, a LOT. In addition, the story is excellent and the characters are all very endearing, and the game is just bustling full of life, with all the NPCs running around and having their little convos. And I believe I'm only like halfway through it, after 63 hrs, so it's a big ol' game or I'm just really slow, but I can't wait to see where it goes. I'm very invested. Also, I just gotta say that the dungeons are top tier, with challenging puzzles and boss fights, and I love it. It's like the Zelda-inspired game I always wanted, with some real difficulty to it. That said, there are a range of accessibility options to customize the difficulty, for both combat and puzzles, if you find it to be overly difficult.
Fantastic puzzle design, always escalating in complexity while never losing their intuitive nature. Will wreck your brain and make you feel both smart and dumb after figuring out.
And great story, art and music. An all-around a winner and will likely hook on nostalgia as well.
one of the best indie experiences, and perhaps games in general, that i played. its sad that a game like this comes only a few in a lifetime.
Liked:
- Engaging combat with lots of variety in enemy design and player build
- Satisfying puzzles that are complex but not obtuse
- Rewarding exploration with lots of secrets to find
- Excellent writing with a mix of humor and drama
- Captures the feeling of playing an MMO in a single player game
- DLC adds new story and gameplay without invalidating the base game
Disliked:
- Game is paced a bit slowly, especially for completionists
Really nice action rpg with interesting story and concept. Highly recommend!
Playing this on a different console was fun, still is fun on pc. The world feels like an emulated MMORPG, even though it's not an MMO, the music is nice, the story enjoyable, the puzzles difficult enough to require more critical thinking, the various gags are neat and funny at times (also cheesy which is fine cuz i like cheese). Being able to combo(or spam certain attacks) is pretty fun, as you can devise combos more focus towards hits while being able to utilize all moves to some degree(even if i kinda suck at it). I enjoy the world for what it is, the pixel art is great too. Overall this game is just fun for people who enjoy a game that you can play - laid-back and casually, for those who also enjoys a RPG, or for those who enjoy playing single player games while having a pretty interactive world.
I loved the story and the world itself. Especially the Dialogs were written so well, I never had so much fun just reading some NPC lines. The gameplay was fun as well and plenty of different enemies and challenging bosses. The puzzles where pretty challenging sometimes but in a good way.
Best part of the game is the exploration. Every time you hit a new area, the game becomes a lot of fun. I enjoy the platforming even though it can be a little hard to see at times (maybe needs some color gradations to show different 'levels').
Puzzles are generally good. I will say that at about 15 hours through the game (have second element) none of the puzzles have really been 'hard'. I generally have issues with puzzles that require you to meet precise timing windows/angles because it's not clear if you are exploiting them or if it is the intended solution.
Game is at its best when you are exploring and solving puzzles.
Story and crafting system are mostly ok. The character interactions are cute. They way you 'rank up' to get better materials is pretty cool and saves some time.
Controls are borderline awful (played on controller). Every single button on your controller does something and often requires you to hold another button down at the same time. Maybe I'm stupid, but I'm constantly forgetting which button does what.
The combat is generally fine on boss enemies and smaller packs. It really breaks down whenever you are out of your party and are required to kill multiple enemies using different elements at once. Cannot understand why they limit the amount of elemental power you can use when enemies require it to defeat them. If you overload, you basically can't kill anything and are running around in circles just smacking stuff until you can play the game again. Lots of enemies also require precise timing shots which become extremely difficult any time more than like 2 enemies are present. Game started to feel super tedious and I started avoiding combat altogether after awhile.
I probably won't finish the game, but I can see why people will like this so I won't give it a thumbs down.
yes i would recommend crosscode. I think it has a very fun story that questions the morality of a game designer who programs a consciousness into an AI. A lot of people don't like the puzzles but I do, I think they're fun to solve even if there are a lot of them. As a singleplayer mmo, one of the first in the genre, a lot of characters do talk like real people, and more importantly, the tone and their characters are consistent! I really love crosscode.
Beautiful gam
Love the music, the combat and movement feel fantastic, perfectly capturing the spirit and the vibes from the peak PS1/SNES era JRPGs while feeling really snappy and modernized in the best possible ways with tons of possible customizations in both character building and actual gameplay
The story bits know when to be lighthearted and funny or serious at the perfect time
The main character and the way she approaches the world she's in are really cute and so is everyone I've encountered through the story so far
I've played a lot of games, but this is by far my #1 favorite game of all time, everything from the music to the combat to the story is all masterfully made. If you haven't played CrossCode yet, you are missing out on one of the best gaming experiences ever made.
Really good game. Interesting story and a well balanced play style. It isn't very grindy, so you stick around areas just long enough to get an mmorpg feel, and then move on.
CrossCode is a must play. It has all the best of Action RPG games in a jRPG looking game. I have a soft spot for the delivered story of friendship, humanity and adventure, and this game can hit there in the feeling. Thanks to the writing of charming characters with the right amount of dialogue between them.
Concerning the game mechanics, exploring all the combat options and builds has been a charm. The environmental puzzles might look tough, but can give you a significant sense of achievement when solving them. All these features would never get you bored, so much so they dragged me for 100+ hours of fun gameplay.
The game has a wide selection of difficulty options. If you think that the puzzle speed is too much for you, you can lower it down. If you think that a boss is too tough for you, there are both options for levelling up and lowering down the damages taken.
All in all, this game has been a nice finding, and I sincerely hope that more players could find it out.
I had so much fun playing this game that I wracked up nearly 100 hours in less than a month, making it one of my most-played games, and I still haven't beaten it yet. However, I got burnt out on it close to the end (not including the epilogue DLC, which I bought somewhere around the 50 hour mark), but I fully intend to finish it once enough time has passed.
There is just SO MUCH to do in this game, and it's all fun. Most of the side-quests are rewarding and help expand the knowledge of the world, and the boss battles are challenging without being overwhelming. Some more highlights: although combat is meant to be geared toward projectile gameplay, you can still primarily use melee if you tweak your build correctly. And yes, there is a lot of variation to skills and gear that enhances your personal style of gameplay while also shoring up your weaknesses.
My one huge complaint is that the puzzles are repetitive and there are far too many of them. I like games with puzzle elements, but there's not much variety to the ones here, and they all get more tedious as more elements are needed to solve the same kind of puzzles. Somewhere around the third dungeon I just got so frustrated that I looked up Let's Plays for like 80% of them, because my brain started to rot just attempting even the easier ones. CrossCode either needs 60% fewer puzzles OR a much more diverse type of puzzle.
The game also starts to falter a bit toward the end, which is part of why I got burnt out on it; once you've reached the end of the game-within-the-game's current completion, your only real goal is to just get stronger until you decide to face the final antagonists, but that mainly involves getting key items to scale up enemies in previous territories in order to get better drops to forge better weapons, and it's just not as fun for me to retread old areas unless there's something new to explore there. There are some really fun side quests that open up here, though, like exploiting a glitch to stumble upon a secret area with a souped-up abomination of a boss. I kept wanting to do things like that instead of proceeding to end, and not because I wanted to live in the world of CrossCode a little longer, but because the end seemed so tedious that I'd rather do less important things.
I do plan to go back and finish it finally, and again, it's SO GOOD that's it's one of my favorite Steam games I played this year. But in the meantime, I'll play other games that have a bit more structure to them.
I have many games, and even in 2024 this is one of my favorites ever. I actually haven't finished yet, but I've spent 34 hours so far so I feel like I can fully recommend it. Just play it if the pics and videos look at all good to you.
CrossCode is just such a fun game. The story is actually pretty moving, and the gameplay is just super satisfying, from the puzzles to the combat. I would definitely recommend this game if you like top-down RPGs with a good story and great characters
Great game, great concept, great characters, great puzzles, great greatness
The best thing I can say about this game is that I can't quite compare it to anything else. Yeah, it's an action rpg, but that doesn't really describe the experience. It's difficult but has great accessibility options (enemy damage sliders, for example), and the story and characters are compelling. Definitely worth your time.
amazing puzzles and combat and pixel art, decent story, shame that the traversal is annoying with poor depth perception but like overall it's a standout game that I loved
Very fun game! I took my time and did a bunch of side quests and ended up with nearly 100 hours of playtime (including the DLC.) The sprite work is great, the music is good (especially in some locations,) and the world feels super lively. Combat is also really fun too, but it may require you to do some grinding to get enough materials for the best gear. The story was alright, it wasn't anything super unique but it had enough pull to keep me interested in the characters.
My only real complaints are that sometimes the parkour and puzzle sections can be a little wonky. Depth isn't shown very well in-game and that can lead to a lot of confusion. Puzzles are also sometimes extremely specific too which can make them more frustrating than enjoyable. One other minor nitpick I have is that you out-scale some quests really hard in terms of levelling if you choose to ignore them until later in the game. I wish there was some amount of level scaling for quests but I can understand why that could be frustrating.
This game is everything I want in a game.
This game is perfect.
From the controls to the combat to the art to the story to the music to the entire experience, its all perfect.
From a gameplay perspective, it just feels so buttery smooth to play.
Combat is snappy, sound design is fantastic, and it just gets more and more in-depth as you go on, with the later special moves being pure crack-infused eye-candy.
The level design makes you get so intimate with the game world, jumping between multiple different screens to get a chest that seemed out of reach.
The puzzles are so fine-tuned that there was never a moment where I had to google a guide, but they were never trivial, I had that "aha!" moment with every puzzle in the game; and its insane how they were able to cram so many into it, they just kept thinking up new ways to make your basic abilities interact with the world.
Everything in this game is just so intentional.
Every single design decision and line of dialogue has a purpose.
There was foreshadowing that went completely over my head 30 hours before it paid off.
Every choice in how it lays out its environment and how the story is structured, its all to sink you more and more into the world and its characters, it really makes every turn in the story have so much more weight.
And the way they play certain songs to make you associate them with a character, but not so much that it becomes grating, just so they can sneak that motif into later songs, oh my god.
Not a single blemish comes to mind when I think about the game as a whole.
Every line of code, every pixel, every dialogue box, all perfect.
I'll never forget this game for as long as I live
