and Stocke is the one chosen to make it so. Stocke is an agent in the Special
Intelligence division in the kingdom of Alistel. Beyond his skill with a
blade, he is entrusted with a miraculous tool, the White Chronicle. This

GameplayRadiant Historia is a single player, turn-based RPG with action that
revolves around a 3-party battle system and time travel abilities. Battles
occur whenever enemies are encountered and play out over a three square grid
system. The closer an enemy is to a player controlled character(s) the more
damage that is possible in an attack(s). Beyond simply overwhelming enemies
one by one, players can also manipulate individual enemy positions so that
multiple enemies occupy the same space and can thus be attacked at the same
time by party members. Successful combo attacks of this nature can net your
party bonus gold and experience points. With a sufficient power build up each
party member can also unleash special Mana Burst attacks which offer unique
benefits in battle. Objectives that can not be achieved through battle may be
available through the game’s time travel functionality and the accessibility
of parallel universes. By going back and forth in time and visiting other
universes players can change events and historical choices that may alter
conditions in the present and or future. The result of this can be multiple
possible parallel game endings and maximum replay value. Key Game
