Quoted from Cross Edge Reviews:
Check out these quotes from Cross Edge reviews & previews
"Overall, Cross Edge feels like a gift aimed squarely at the hardcore JRPG crowd. Its best features are its rewardingly complex battle system and its clean and equally nostalgic 2D presentation. But these virtues will make it about as appealing as pulling teeth to anyone who doesn't know the difference between Makai Kingdom and Odin Sphere."
"Cross Edge teaches us a very important lesson: there is a fine line between "depth" and "convolution." A game that could have been an entertaining compilation of iconic Japanese characters turned out to be a frustrating, awkward mess of menus, gameplay imbalances and annoying dialogue scenes."
"Major Japanese publishers contribute their star characters for this crossover J-RPG by NIS, with plenty of fan service."
"In the end, Cross Edge is a disappointment. While playing through it, one cannot help but feel that there is a significant measure of potential in both the gameplay and story. Even discounting the frustrating controls and lack of instructions, Cross Edge is the type of deep, difficult challenge most RPGamers crave. Unfortunately, its potential is wasted due to the overly complex, poorly explained game mechanics, atrocious control scheme and botched menu system."
