Even if a physical copy is sold out, the game is still up for download digitally on the eShop. Thanks to this 3DS rerelease, the game is now much easier to find, and it's more likely that the news of it's release will spread. Of course, with today all of that changes. But again, sadly it wasn't one many knew about, nor was it one you could easily get your hands on. Along with it's 3x3 grid based battle system, which asks that you push enemies into each other to create chain combo attacks, such systems make Radiant Historia is one of the more unique JRPGs to ever release on the DS. You might find out something which will allow you to prevent the death down the other path. Go down one path only to see a main character get killed in front of you? Well just rewind time and go down the other path to see what went wrong. This moments however can then be revisited at almost any time, which allows you to choose different options instead. Throughout the story you'll come across key moments where the timeline will diverge, and it'll be up to you to decide which path you can take. Rather than progressing through the game in a linear fashion as you'd normally do, RH takes the idea of time travel and mixes it into the core gameplay. It was a very niche JRPG that attempted to capture everything great about JRPGs of the past, but while adding it's own spin on things. You see, Radiant Historia was not a well known game. Although it might seem strange for them to rerelease such an old game, this isn't the first time Atlus has done this (nor will it be the last), and the game is actually better for it. Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is an enhanced port of the classic Nintendo DS JRPG "Radiant Historia." Yes, the very same one I went on a wild goose chase for back in 2011. Today marks the release of the "newest" 3DS game.
