Cris Tales has unsurprisingly been getting a lot of attention over the last couple of years, styled as a 'love letter to JRPGs' while incorporating its own modern ideas. After a delay it was recently promised for July, and today that was pinned down to 20th July with a price of £34.99/€39.99/$39.99USD.
In good news you'll be able to try it out before you buy, with a demo rolling out now on the Switch eShop. As well as lovely visuals, this one makes a big deal of its time bending mechanic as you manipulate time during battles to weaken enemies, as one example.
Now seems like a good opportunity to try that demo; are you excited about Cris Tales?

I'm pretty excited for this! JRPGs are my jam so I'm definitely gonna give the demo a try today. I really dig the art style too!
this looks good!
The first demo really turned me off this game, which is weird because I love RPGs and the artstyle is fantastic. It just didn't grab me I suppose.
One of my most-wanted this year, looks incredible.
Really liked the look of the trailer. Not sure if I'm sold enough to spend money but I will be downloading the demo!
This sounds like it has some really novel gameplay. Keeping my eye on this one.
I've been eagerly awaiting this one for a loooong time!
@Kiz3000 same here. Wanted to like it but what I played was a bit bland. Looks cool tho..
Stunning art style but when I played the demo on Xbox I literally fell asleep... twice. Hopefully the final game is a little more engaging!
@Kiz3000 that’s exactly how I felt about the demo. It was really quite dull. Lots of walking around doing very little. I didn’t last the whole demo mind so it might have gotten better.
Oh hey it's that other game that's been sitting at the bottom of the Coming Soon page on the Eshop for months with no release date.
This was the highlight of the show for me! I’ve been waiting for this game to drop for a hot minute
Played the demo back in steam and caught my interest so I've been waiting for the Switch date, another July title though so I really am gonna be poor at the end, thank god it's my birthday month.
I actually wasn't grabbed by the first demo. Maybe this'll grab me more?
@gazamataz same. I enjoyed the art style but the demo did not grab me at all... happy for those who enjoy it though!
A new demo? That's pretty awesome. I loved the demo last year and pre-ordered the game when it was still due out for November.
Fantastic to see this get a final release date. I shall be there with bells on!
Is there a new demo? There's been a demo on switch & xbox for many months already (didn't check on ps4).
@Darlinfan agree. Same w bravely default 2 for me (or team america world police the game) & that can make or break a game for me.
Is it an updated demo or the same one I’ve had sitting in my Switch for almost a year now?
@Kirbo100 lol yes, the companion to King's Bounty!
