There are two types of attacks: melee and ranged. Simple enough for casual players, yet deep enough for experts it takes the 16-bit action RPG feel and elevates it to a whole new level. Yet, one of the most surprising and outstanding things about CrossCode is the combat.

This all leads to an intriguing story full of emotional moments and plot twists that - combined with the likeable cast of characters and expansive world-building - create a successful formula. The plot may sound complicated, but it works in a way like Sword Art Online does. As the story unfolds, the plot thickens between MMO realm of CrossWorlds and the behind-the-scenes managing of it that taked place in the real world, and whatever Lea does in-game affects all of this this. The world is really just a single-player RPG that mimics an MMO, but the presence of other characters running around the world map and towns provides the artificial presence of others playing the game. One minor complaint is that the pacing of the story tends to be slow at the beginning, and even drags at times, but it eventually finds its stride after a while. There is a good cast of characters, and the dialogue is well-written. A man named Sergey explains that by playing through the game, Lea may regain her abilities and memories meanwhile, he programs a few select words that she can repeat - such as ‘hi’, ‘Lea’, and ‘sorry’ - which make for some humorous interactions with others. Unfortunately, Lea has somehow lost all her memories and her ability to speak. Players take the role of Lea, an avatar placed in a futuristic MMO called CrossWorlds, which is set on a moon where the players’ avatar can physically interact with the environment.

It may look like a 16-bit retro-esque game at first glance, but it’s a well-polished action RPG that offers so much that it can compete head-to-head with its modern high-budget counterparts.

Though like many projects it took a bit longer than initially planned, but it finally made its debut on Steam in 2018 and has now branched out to other systems, including the Nintendo Switch. CrossCode first came into the public eye through a successfully crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.
