8-Bit Adventures 2 Coming Soon!
the Game
Tales Across Time is a linear, story-driven RPG experience from the creator of 8-Bit Adventures: The Forgotten Journey. It uses the classic short-story format to tell the tale of three very different characters; each living centuries apart, but in the same location.
Each narrative presents a different experience. Explore a haunted, ancient ruin; help a young woman save her town and her love; face off with an unstoppable masked killer. Many tales have been told across time; will yours be able to transcend it?
Featuring:
- Experience Three Gripping Tales, each set in a different time period.
- Unique Turn-Based Battle System – built around resource management & one-on-one encounters.
- Discover Engaging Characters and People with Personality.
- Same Location, Different Environment – explore a familiar land, transformed by the passage of time.
- Battle a Wide Variety of Monsters, which constantly change-up combat.
- A Narrative-Focused Experience – keeps the story going and doesn’t waste your time (no grinding/filler).

Hello friends,
Today I will review the game Tales across Time. This is a indie RPG Maker game made by the same developers that made the game 8-bit Adventures series, which this author has also played in the past. As with the other game, this game looks and feels like a retro game made for a early Nintendo system. The music also fits this game very good. The one complaint I have is how short the game was. I was hoping it would be longer than what i played. Although others may find the shortness of the game good. The storyline is interesting and unique. I do not think I have played a generational rpg like this since Saga Frontier 2 on PS1. Basically, the player plays thru the ages in three different stories, from the past, present, and the future. The combat system is also interesting. Unlike other RPG's, there is no grinding involved, but the player can find special crystals that increase stats for each character. Anyways, here is my PROS and CONS list:
PROS:
- A short rpg with no grinding mechanics nor exp nor leveling.
- A story that takes the player thru adventures in time.
- Combat mechanics are easy to learn.
- The music fits the game perfectly for a 8-bit type game.
- Works on windows 11 operating system.
- Works with controllers. I use a ZEN PRO switch controller.
CONS:
- Some people do not like RPG MAKER games as this was made with that program.
- In some ways, the game is too short, but others may find it is the right length.
- The simplistic graphics may not be liked by everyone.
Do I recommend it? Only if RPG MAKER and Indie games do not really bother the player. The story is unique to keep the player involved in the game to see it's conclusion. The graphic style is retro and looks like a Nintendo game. If the buyer does not mind these type of games, I suggest buying it at least for the story and easy battle mechanics

Short and sweet. A simple story-focused RPG with most of the usual complexities of RPGs stripped out. There's no grinding, EXP, levels, or equipment to manage. The combat system is also simple, but has unexpected depth owing to its focus on resource management. I had a good time with this one.

A short game and not hard at all. But still a fairly nice game.
