great game, luv the advancement options. only problem i had with it is that i spent 6 hours on it only for it to not save at all. so you can imagine the frustration. i didnt clear the cache or anything it just didnt save.
Reviews for "Crystal Story II"
Brilliant game all round, the main quest is engaging, plenty of varied side games, challenge ramped up significantly following the Dargon King so I'll probably come back from time to time and have a go at those missions. Any negatives are minor (e.g. arranging skills across 4 pages is tiresome, I'd prefer a custom skill list that I can add to/remove skills from when they're superceded - a side effect of having so much choice!) this is one of the best-designed and best-executed games I've ever played and the scale of it is incredible. Big congratulations!
Fantastic and well made RPG. I enjoyed that there were multiple ways I could control the game, via mouse or keyboard hot keys. This would be great to play as a mobile game with touch screen features. I didn't play too far into it but from what I did play, I enjoyed the art and the bestiary had great early game variety. The music was good and reminiscent of traditional RPG games.
I would like to see more attention placed on the level design for future games of Crystal Story. The forest, for example, just seemed to be a connected series of squares with tree sprites thrown about. Given your attention to art assets with the characters and inventory, I know you can do a lot better with the level design and layout.
For example, I would love to see a upper and lower level for an area so that characters can go under bridges or over rivers, for example. This would also allow you to have tree tops obscure parts of the stage which characters can walk under. These minor things will provide a lot to your game.
I liked the battle system, it was very smooth. The characters were distinct and entertaining. The treasure chest minigame was a little awkward for me. I got the concept but it seemed up to chance whether or not I had the correct arrow at the proper moment.
In all my years of playing RPG's this takes the place. So far, the controls are smooth and easy to figure out, soundtrack is AMAZING, and the characters are easy to like. Everyone who worked on this did an amazing job. :)
Really addictive i finished it in one day i loved it even with the repetitive fights.
I love how you made the progression of the characters it reminds me of FFX.
I love the type of art aswell.
Great job. :)
