Same here. CrossCode is a really special treat, especially for those with an SNES / GBA JRPG itch to scratch. But Into the Breach on Switch is *SO* much more convenient than CrossCode on PC. And both are great games.

Doing every side quest and exploring thoroughly is a good way to play CrossCode. The game's best when taken slowly, and the side quests line up with the level curve so you shouldn't really need to grind.
Nice OP. Been pretty curious about this game lately — reminds me of Alundra, a longtime favorite of mine. I'll get to it for sure.
I remember noticing that when playing the demo a few years ago. Probably not the puzzle aspect, but the combat is indeed a lot more similar to Ys games than Zelda or Squeenix games.
would love to hear more about how you all heard about this game? it looks right up my alley, but completely went under my radar. no doubt there is some truth to great games getting a low profile due to the glut of crap Steam doles out.
I've decided a while ago that I have to play this since it's entirely using HTML5 and JS. Nuts.
Just got to get to it.
I heard about this game on a JavaScript-focused Slack channel and someone shared the link. It's really shareable since you can play it in the browser since it's just JavaScript anyway.

I heard about this from listening to the Giant Bomb GOTY talks. It sounds like something I'd really enjoy!
Steam had been recommending it to me for months while it was in Early Access, presumably due to the number of other JRPGs or adjacent titles I own. I often ignore these but looked at the trailer on a whim and was really quite impressed.
Holy crap, had no idea. LOL I'm only 15 minutes into it and I'm in love.
Wait really? It would've been an easy port to Wii U bizarrely enough (if it's not super resource heavy).
Felt like the only person playing this game. I pretty much love everything about this game from the combat, music, characters, and art. Only thing I'm not a big fan of are the dungeons. That's not really the games fault though since I have that issue with Zelda as well lol.
Got it in a bundle ages ago and redeemed it without really looking at what I got. Sometime later I was looking at my games and stumbled upon it. I thought it looked great but as it was in early access I had no desire to play it. Fast forward a few years and it's finally out for me to play.
Ben from Giant Bomb mentioned it on one of their podcasts back when it was early access. I picked it up back then and loved the look of it, but waited to play it until the full release.
I found it when it was fundraising, I think someone made a thread about it at the time on neogaf. I got super hooked on the early demo (it was bigger than the final demo, it also let you play the rookie dungeon and part of Autumn Rise). The demo itself was already one of my favorite all time action RPGs, and I was hyped as fuck for the full game for pretty much three years straight.
I can't remember exactly but I think I heard about it on GAF back when it was being crowdfunded. They had a demo out already, which I loved, and their crowdfunding campaign was kind of struggling so I pitched in. It ultimately got funded and was in Early Access for a long time, but it also allowed them to really polish the game, so that's cool.
I'm still at the very beginning of this game. Looking forward to getting into it more. The Art looks very nice even when scaled up on my 4k TV lol
Just a heads up, CrossCode is 25% off on Humble Bundle right now: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/crosscode?hmb_source=search_bar

As usual, if you're subscribed to humble, you get a discount from there as well. it shows up as $13.50 for me which is just insane for what you get(so is $15 for that matter).
Crosscode might be the best game of a German developer since Gothic 2? ELEX, Fast RMX, The Surge, Portal Knights and quite good but I've seen neither of them receive this degree of universal love.
Would love to play this on consoles if possible, but I think I'll have to jump in sooner.

An overview/recommend video came up in my Youtube recommendations, and is a pretty dead-on summation of what makes CrossCode so incredible. Check it out if you're on the fence or just curious. Light spoilers for locales and enemies, but not for story.
Bumping this thread because CrossCode was just announced for Nintendo Switch for those that want more details.
