Play Chrono Trigger Online

Chrono Trigger came out on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1995, developed by Square. It was one of those late-era SNES games that really showed what the console could do, with detailed sprites and a soundtrack that set the mood perfectly without ever getting in the way.

You control Crono and a party of characters pulled from different eras, traveling through time to prevent a global catastrophe. The game plays out across vibrant, screen by screen maps filled with secrets and occasional enemy encounters. Combat happens right on the field, no separate battle screen, and uses an active time system that keeps things moving. Your party members learn dual and triple techs, special combo moves that require careful timing and resource management. The pacing is brisk, the dungeons are clever without being cruel, and it always feels like your actions carry weight. It’s a game that respects your time while pulling you deeper into its world.
