Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
122 of 272 sampled reviews raised it
I like an oldschool JRPG without the grinding, and the large cast makes it feel kind of like a class-based game, which I like as well.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

One, the roster is huge and diverse and the characters are thematically and mechanically delightful.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
58 of 272 sampled reviews raised it
The story isn't the strongest, but is cohesive and at least mildly interesting (while explaining the sci-fi magic mix that is going on.) In this price range the game has no competition, and I encourage everyone to give it an honest try.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
53 of 272 sampled reviews raised it
In my opinion, the appeal of Chronicle Mode, and Time Break Chronicles overall, is the endgame combat.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The Plusses: You know those predatory FTP mobile phone games where they just autobattle for you with pretty (read: almost always T&A hot ladies) graphics playing.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Sound Unlike the visuals, the sound design of Time Break Chronicles is excellent.
