Excellent indie JRPG
Crystal Project is a one man project that eclipses the products of, well, pretty much all of the big players in the genre today. It is light on story, focusing more on the adventure and exploration of the world (think SNES era JRPGs) with a class system that allows you to make ridiculously potent combos for your party members to defeat your enemies with so if you LOVE job/class systems in JRPGs, this is most definitely for you. I'd say that the exploration is THE feature of it. You can sequence break the game heavily if you explore a lot, obtaining things that you normally wouldn't quite early on; mounts, weapons, armour, classes. You can avoid the enemies on the world map, although some areas are more painful than others in that regard. The world has many secrets that you would only stumble upon by exploring heavily. There's plenty of platforming to be had, some say it's hard but I'd say it's pretty manageable if you take your time. It also got built in randomiser and such bonus features that help make the game more replayable after completing it, and one of the initial annoyances of no health restoration at save points was also added as an option to toggle on! To throw in a con of mine, the breeding of the ultimate mount is a painful, PAINFUL process (the quintar races are ridiculously hard) but not really required unless you aim for (easier) 100% completion. Also, there's one particular area that just sucked - but you can actually just come back later overpowered to complete it - Undercity. You'll likely know why when you reach that area. Ugh. But neither of these two things is enough to detract from how fantastic this game is.
Hilft dir das weiter?
