Crystal Crisis (NS) Review | VGChartz
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "It feels like slowly and quietly publisher Nicalis is building a video game cinematic universe in the style of Marvel and Disney. Blade Strangers, with its roster of crossover fighters, was the first sign, and puzzle game Crystal Crisis, which pulls together characters from many Nicalis-published titles—including Cave Story, The Binding of Isaac, and 1001 Spikes—is yet another. It even introduces playable characters from Nicalis games in development (the video game equivalent of a backdoor pilot). With lots of familiar faces, plenty of content, and some clever puzzle-fighting mechanics, Crystal Crisis is a nice diversion that unfortunately doesn't take full advantage of its all-star cast."
