Radiant Historia

Stocke is a special agent caught in a dying world where a creeping desert turns people into sand. Armed with the White Chronicle, he gains the power to leap through time, navigating branching timelines to prevent a global catastrophe. Unlike typical sprawling RPGs, this game focuses on tight, logical narrative progression where your choices ripple across history. The combat is equally sharp, featuring a grid-based system that lets you shove enemies into traps for massive combo damage. It is a masterclass in smart design, proving that a focused, time-bending story beats an aimless open world any day.
