Furyu showcased more of its gothic lolita action JRPG for PS4 Crystar in a batch of new screenshots and more gameplay videos.
To atone for her sins, Rei must fight her way through Purgatory and save her fallen sister. Swap between a cast of four playable characters and unravel the truths and tragedies of their pasts. Turn your pain into power by summoning mighty Guardians to stand alongside you. And when overwhelmed with grief, draw strength from your tears to grow stronger. By overcoming the enemies around her, and the inner conflict within her, only then will Rei release herself from her own suffering.
WTMG's Fernando da Costa: "Crystar is a hidden gem for niche JRPG fans with a beautiful music assortment to boot. The narrative centers around rescuing your deceased sister and returning her soul to the land of the living. Meet mysterious characters and sign a contract that then sees you traversing the deep recesses of Purgatory. I’m in love with the focus on delivering a flood of creativity. It tickles my imagination and gets me excited to plow through to see what happens next. The portraits of the girls are beautifully drawn, though I could’ve used more animation during the dialogue sections. As it is, it’s rather lifeless, and movement would have helped drive home what was occurring."
Caught between immaculate presentation values and unrefined gameplay, Crystar is an RPG worth experiencing for the right crowd.
If that is PS4 ex, why they cannot make better models, movement animations and add something to the environment (it looks empty)? Most jRPG still look like past gen games with higher resolution.
