  • Jedo: “Cross Tails is a relatively cheap tactical JRPG that gives you 30-50+ hours of content with impressive customization options.”
  • RuhRohRush: “Strong tactical game with some balancing problems. Maniac difficulty is a welcome challenge. Good replay value.”
  • Seraph: Came for the story and the people with animal ears. Stayed because of the gameplay and the people with animal ears.”
