Crystal Story II

TL;DR: Game has issues with a lack of Quality-of-life features and end game grind, and if you're aiming to get 100% achievements; then avoid this game. I'm serious. (Read below under the 'Getting 100% Steam Achievements' header as to why.) ======================================================================== [h1] POSITIVES [/h1] [olist] [*] Characters fall into certain roles, but have some flexibility when fully maxed out and can multi-role pretty well. [*] Some of the minigames and side missions are pretty fun and provide useful rewards. [*] If you're just aiming to reach the end of the story, then you won't have much difficulty. [/olist] [h1] NEGATIVES [/h1] [h2][u] I will talk about my issues regarding getting 100% Steam Achievements in the next header, so none of those issues will appear in this section.[/u][/h2] [olist] [*] Since this was a Flash game, the graphics don't exactly hold up well. I'm talking about low quality sprites during the battle screen and how enemies only have one sprite, no variations. So they will slide across the screen when patrolling and don't have any animations when in battle. [*] Clutter: Once you max out your characters, you'll have so …

Very generic plot, characters are not likable, gameplay a bit janky I understand that it is indie so I always try to support when I can as not everyone has the backing of a huge studio but.... I wouldn't play this again given my experience... Please note I have played more than 10 minutes of the game,,,just that it was offline. MoonlightQ

Its a good game and worth the few dollars for it. The whole game feels early 2000s which is nostolgic. Farming takes a while and rubies are very hard to come by. The music is good. You can tell the developer really spent a lot of time and this was more of a passion project than an attempt to make money

Its a great classic with with fun gameplay and story

Make sure you play the first one. It gives me good Epic battle fantasy 3 vibes. While giving me other vibes like Breath of wild without an encounter every three steps. I really enjoy Crystal story 1, which comes with this game. I have not gotten to Crystal story 2 yet, but boom 7 hours of game play just from the first game alone, and I think I'm close to the end, but not done yet. Solid game Solid level up system. Solid upgrade system, Solid equipment system, for the price, this game gives more than most games give made in the last 10 years from Triple A studio's.

A game about crystals. I guess. Never seen that before.
