Asdivine Cross may not break any new ground in the RPG genre, but this doesn’t stop the game from being enjoyable. For those looking for an RPG to whet their appetite, this humble RPG has fun battle mechanics, and some post-game content to keep you engaged. It may lack the polish of an AAA RPG title, but for $9.99 on the eShop, there is still fun to be had here.

Critic reviews
- 8.0Using KEMCO's highly detailed graphics style combined with a sound plot that has a few surprises along with multiple endings dependent on character interactions, Asdivine Cross is a worthy addition to the series on Nintendo Switch. No matter the length between plays there is always an indication of where to go next, plenty of weapons and armour to collect, a wide variety of monsters to battle with, and a delightful cast who never fail to raise a smile even when the outlook is bleak.
- 6.0If you have previously played, and liked, the rest of the Asdivine games, it’s good to have another bit of story from that universe, but if you’ve never played one, I’d probably point you to Dios or Menace and the more likable character of Izayoi rather than this tale. Of course, give it a try if you like a retro JRPG, but do not expect any next-gen shiny new bells and whistles.
- 7.0Asdivine Cross turns out to be a surprisingly pleasant adventure to plod through. It is not too expensive and not too long, either, so it can easily fit in between meatier titles played at home and in shorter sessions on public transport and the like. Its shortcomings in terms of presentation may make it harder to grow fond of, especially early on because it does not do quite enough to make its interesting characters and story stand out.
- 7.0Asdivine Cross is a decent old-school RPG that features a memorable game world and a charming cast of characters to match. If you're looking for a challenge, it might not impress but those who just want an easy-breezy JRPG will likely have a good time.
