CHRONO TRIGGER (NINTENDO DS)

Chrono Trigger is a Japanese-style role-playing game in which the player takes control of a party consisting of up to seven characters, develops the combat skills of its members and manages their equipment. There are no random encounters in the game: all enemies walk visibly on terrain maps and can be evaded by the player, or wait to ambush the party. No enemy encounters occur when the player navigates characters on the world map.

The game uses the ATB (Active Time Battle) battle system of the Final Fantasy games as one of the battle style selections offered to the player at the start. The other selectable combat mechanic pauses combat whenever the player enters the menu, effectively removing the real-time element and making battles fully turn-based.

The Nintendo DS version retains these changes and adds two new dungeons and a new possible ending that foreshadows the events of Chrono Cross.
