'CrossCode' Also Comes To Consoles - Screens

by Rainier on April 5, 2018 @ 12:34 p.m. PDT

CrossCode is a love letter to 16-bit RPGs with modern action and puzzle mechanics.

CrossCode is a true homage to the 16 bit era. Think of Secret of Mana having an affair with the classic top-down Zelda games. Like, you know, a really wild one. It’s the Action RPG you’ve always dreamed about, a perfect synthesis of time-tested gameplay and modern controls.

Experience a story full of mysteries and balls. Experience a modern take on the past.

You will follow the adventures of Lea, a player who is stuck in a fictional online game of the distant future. She also lost her memory and, on top of that, can’t speak. Now the only option to regain her memory is to play the game - hoping that fellow players won’t mistake her for a bot.


CrossCode will leave Early Access this summer after having sold more than 100.000 units, and is also coming to consoles later this year!

The PS4 version is playable at PAX for the very first time (Booth #10052 ).

“Thousands of games are released every month. Every. Single. Month”, says Jan Klose, co-founder of Deck13. “How can a small startup studio win the attention war? Only by partnering up with someone like us, a team that puts a spotlight on their work.”

During Lea’s adventures you will experience a strange take on the future of gaming: a fictional online game about throwing balls. Not only are balls your trusty tools to master several dungeons full of puzzles, they are your weapons as well. Together with close-range attacks and special skills, they help you to fend off hordes of enemies.

Combining ball-throwing with a fast-paced combat system, puzzle solving, world exploration and character building, CrossCode provides a mix of the RPG and Action Adventure genre, delivered with detailed pixel art and a soundtrack inspired by old SNES and Playstation classics.
