About Crystal Story: Dawn of Dusk

Welcome to the World of Crystal Story!



Crystal Story: Dawn of Dusk marks the first episode and foundation of the series!



Crystal Story is a series that blends together charming retro-style graphics, with fast-paced action and turn-based battles, inspired by 16-bit classics!


- Meet Mina -



Players take the role of Mina, a young adventurer from the Dawnside, who must traverse a perilous and shattered world called the Duskside, to find her long-lost brother who was kidnapped by the forces of a great demon named Termina.

- It’s All in the Arts -



Mina’s gifted with the ability to use fire-elemental magic called Arts! Arts allow her to navigate harsh conditions while battling any foes that stand in her way! Mina can also supercharge Arts to trade blows with stronger enemies in tougher encounters!

- Features -


  • Use Arts to traverse a challenging world and defeat enemies and solve puzzles!
  • A hybrid retro-modern-styled adventure will bring you back to the past, but with a modern twist!
  • Includes an optional CRT filter for nostalgic flair!
  • Dynamic Updates add additional content, areas, sidequests, side storylines, and more, completely free of charge.

- Dynamic Updates -



Crystal Story is an evergreen experience, with the first episodic entry being able to be completed in about 3-6 hours.

Coming soon, Dynamic Updates will add additional content, areas, sidequests, side storylines, and more. 



Dynamic Updates will also be completely free of charge. Simply update and have fun!*


- Future Episodic Expansions -



Planned future episodic expansions will continue Crystal Story's narrative beyond Dynamic Updates.

Episodic, but with more freedom, players will be able to carry on objectives in these expansions, while also being able to return to and explore previous areas introduced in Dawn of Dusk (and other future episodic expansions), and their respective Dynamic Updates.

Details on future episodic expansions will be coming soon.**

*(Please note: some content will require you to complete Dawn of Dusk in order to be unlocked.)

**(Please note: unlike Dynamic Updates, future episodic expansions will be paid additional content.)

***This game features flashing and flickering colors and imagery.***

The gameplay isn't that great and it's full of bugs. You can very easily break the game in the mansion level. It should really be listed under early access. The visuals and music are nice and it has a lot of potential but it's not worth the current price. Come back in a few years when its done.

While I wouldn't like to give a small dev a bed review, the game is very lacking in content and feels VERY early access (like just 1 chapter of a game) and should be marked a such. also, there have been very little in updates in over a year. One day I would like to change this review but for now it will remain as a bad review.

Such a charming game that really has a mix of undertale, zelda, etc. feel that is so enjoyable to play.

What is there is a good game but it hardly has 3 hours of content and then it suddenly comes to an end with stupid sequel bait nonsense. I was gifted this game and feel like I paid too much for it.

Hit a few bugs where I had to reload the game but I was very much looking for a short adventure like this and really enjoyed it. Keen to check out future chapters, well worth a play.
