Square Enix have today released the iconic JPRG Chrono Trigger, which originally released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1995, onto Steam for the Windows PC.

Key Features:

• Two Extra Dungeons – Includes the mysterious ‘Dimensional Vortex’ dungeon and the forgotten ‘Lost Sanctum’ dungeon that first appeared in the DS and mobile releases

  • Composer Yasunori Mitsuda’s digital liner notes
  • A collection of six stunning PC wallpapers in varying sizes

While the Steam release of Chrono Trigger should be an exciting occasion the reaction on Steam seems to be more than positive; with some users claiming that the game is ‘exactly’ the same as the previous iOS/Android version of the game – with touchscreen icons also being present on screen in this Steam release.

Regardless of the negativity Chrono Trigger is now available to purchase on Steam worldwide. An iOS/Android version of Chrono Tigger is also available and Square Enix will update the game to feature the same content as this PC Steam release.
