![]() At any time you can read an extensive overview about each of the game’s prior chapters, and this is what I basically relied upon to bring myself up to speed. Since it had been considerably longer than seven months for me, I keenly felt the effects of Lea’s mental fog as though it were my own.ĬrossCode does an outstanding job of storing nearly every piece of data you discover in a tightly organized compendium, from items and quests to characters and shops, and its storyline is no exception. As expected, there are a lot of cheerful reunions, lots of hugging, and a bit of debriefing that the developers (the real ones, not the in-game-only Instatainment Ltd.) shrewdly worked in by having her fixer Sergey put a series of ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ questions to Lea, intent to know what she-or rather you, the player-actually remembers from the last go around. Lea, the game’s lead protagonist, is brought back into the MMORPG simulation after having been absent the preceding seven months. That said, I won’t divulge any critical information.Ī New Home picks up exactly where CrossCode concluded. With the new DLC dropping on the Switch this month, appropriately titled A New Home, that wait is finally over.Īs A New Home requires players to have previously finished all ten chapters of the main game, as well as achieved the ‘good ending’ (which can be done at any time so long as you’ve reached the final boss) before proceeding to the DLC content, I’ll assume that anyone reading this is more or less familiar with the narrative up to this point. Although I didn’t have the honor of reviewing CrossCode back when Deck13 Interactive brought it to the Nintendo Switch in July, 2020, I fully concurred with Rich’s assessment published a few months ago that CrossCode was ‘one of the most impressive indie titles I have ever played.’ I couldn’t wait to see what further adventures awaited Lea, Emilie, and the rest of the cast that made the main campaign such a heart-warming, memorable, and challenging joyride. If you haven’t heard of CrossCode by now, it’s a 16-bit indie gem from real-life German studio Radical Fish Games that mixes Zelda-style dungeon crawling, Secret of Mana-esque combat (but on steroids), and cleverly constructed environments that are often no less bewildering to explore than the game’s proper puzzles are to solve. and located within the actual single-player action-RPG known as CrossCode. Note: That character and the animations are still very much WIP.It’s been just shy of a year since I last visited CrossWorlds, the life-like pseudo-MMORPG developed by the fictional Instatainment Ltd. ![]() More progress with #ProjectTerra! We've been working on a #pixelart style for outdoor areas and also finally have a moving character! Currently with jumping controls similar to #CrossCode. Here is a tweet from some time ago that gives you a first impression of what moving around will look like: Yes, we’re still working on that Project Terra prototype for our next game! Maybe something will finally come out of it, after all. In case you’re interested in CrossCode merch and wondered what happened with those T-Shirt Designs we posted like… years ago? You know how it is with certification on consoles: ![]() The CrossCode “A New Home” DLC will release for PS4, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch on August 5th – in about a week!Īnd with this, our final addition to CrossCode will finally hit consoles!
