Legend Of Zelda Meets Chrono Trigger in New RPG You Can Try Free

A new RPG that seems like a mix of The Legend of Zelda and Chrono Trigger is coming to Steam soon, and you’ll be able to try it out for free.

Alabaster Dawn combines the soft pastel visuals of The Legend of Zelda with the tactical combat of Chrono Trigger, and it looks like a good one for any fans of either game.

It’s an action RPG from the creators of CrossCode, and features beautiful landscapes and ruins for you to explore in a 2.5D environment.

According to Alabaster Dawn’s developer, Radical Fish Games, the game will be getting a public demo release in September, although an exact date has not been confirmed yet.

But if you want to try it sooner, the demo will be available at Gamescom next week at Radical Fish Games’ public booth.

“Alabaster Dawn is an Action RPG building on top of the best aspects of Radical Fish Games' previous title CrossCode, featuring a deep and engaging combat system, challenging puzzles and an epic story set in a curious world full of secrets to discover and places to explore,” reads the official description on Steam.

“The shadow of Nyx has fallen, warping the world into a wasteland and vanishing the gods and their people. Now, Juno, the Outcast Chosen, awakens to an impossible task: bring it all back.”

Alabaster Dawn apparently features around 30-60 hours of planned playtime, and has seven unique areas to explore. During the game, you rebuild settlements, establish trade routes, and advance science by helping people.

As for the combat, Radical Fish has said its primary inspirations are the Devil May Cry and Kingdom Hearts series.

In terms of when you can expect to play the full release, that hasn’t been announced yet by the development team. However, at least the demo launch should satisfy your needs for the time being.
