Reviews for "Crystal Story"

Good but not great

This game has lots of potential to be great. The dungeon crawling system is well done and the battles are simple and straight-foward which is nice. However, the story is just too played out. I feel that you could have introduced a lot more humor and been more creative and imaginative with the characters and the background of the game. Also the weapon system and skill set systems are way too simple, you really could have made them a bit more intricate. For instance, don't give the equips levels but simply have them evolve into new and more powerful versions as you upgrade them. With the skill trees I feel like a little summary of what each skill actually does might be helpful considering I had no idea if "attack up" was a passive skill or a buff. It's nice you give us an ap reset option but sucks that we have to pay for it. The one thing I will commend you on is the fact that you incorporated the mouse for movement rather than using the arrow keys or wasd; this made it feel similar to the DS touchpen and gave it a feeling of professionalism. Also, it is rather annoying to have to fight every monster in the screen when you only bump into one of them, kinda defeats the purpose of having multiple enemies roaming the screen don't you think?

Great game!

That the Skeleton King has 666 life points is just a coincidence right? RIGHT?

This is a grand game!

I noticed absolutely no bug whatsoever, first off. Good job. The music, gameplay, options, customization, versatility, side-quests, and visuals are all superb. However, I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, but I found a common (white) weapon and it costs 0G to upgrade every time. I maxed it out for 0G. Or is this some special type of weapon that I found?

Err... wait... what was the name of the weapon? O_o

Pretty Good, but...

...there are a few typos. I'm stickler for typos, so this particularly bothered me. Also, the "I Silence Pndt" item at the shop has a glitched percentage value (it goes off the screen with decimals :\). I'd imagine it would be pretty easy to fix with a patch or two, though.

Aside from that, great game! I really dig the class progression system, and how it's different for each character. It can be a little frustrating when you can't get enough skill points to get a certain ability, but I guess that's just being nit-picky. Keep it up!

I see what you did there...

The names of all the characters are the names of the partners you get in Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest. Great game btw
