CRYSTAR

The middest of midware JRPG, but for a first project, its pretty good, the gameplay is somewhat interesting and the story is pretty sad. Would recommend on a sale for a crymachina fan who wants to know where the devs came from.
After finishing the game with all the endings, I think the game is still a recommend, but you will encounter a lot of repeated content, but the narrative is worth it to a degree.

If you can endure the dull gameplay (combat), the story of the game is quite enjoyable.
지루한 게임 플레이(전투)를 견딜 수 있다면, 스토리는 재밌습니다.

this is absolutely a kusoge that is only good for its story. really wish they went ahead and did this more justice with a VN, but if you are willing to put up with hours of the most mindless combat (put the difficulty to easy for your own sanity) then you have something that might interest you here

The gameplay is so dull...
But the story was emotionally beautiful. It made me cry.
Every time I hear Pheles talk I fall into ecstasy! I love her!!

Crystar is a great action-RPG with some fascinating twists. Crying is not only a key aspect to boosting your strength in battle, but it enables you to create more powerful gear. Be prepared for mentions of tragic and depressing topics.
- amazing story with cute characters.
- i love Rei and her sister voice-acting.
- best soundtrucks and level design.

Amazing story and great characters. The only thing that's holding this game back is that the combat feels a bit boring and repetitive at times especially since you need to clear same stages and bosses multiple times. Honestly this game would have worked better as a visual novel. Still recommend playing though,

A very flawed game that should have been a visual novel. The gameplay is pretty boring and repetitive, and it has far too much recycled content for its runtime. The story is why you play this, and I found it very enjoyable; I just wish it wasn't tucked behind so much filler combat. I think this is the kind of game you can buy to support the devs, then just watch a compilation of the cutscenes on Youtube.
If you do play through it, set it to easy. You will be doing the same things in combat, you will just spend far less time in tedium.
