Crystar: An Emotional Action RPG
Crystar is an Action RPG developed by FuRyu, available for Nintendo Switch. The game's protagonist, Rei, is on a mission to save her sister by battling through Purgatory. Along the way, she can switch between four playable characters and learn about their pasts to uncover their secrets.
The game's unique mechanic is shedding tears to power up attacks and armor, which is a refreshing take on the traditional RPG trope of tears being a sign of weakness. The battle system includes an otherworldly being that fights alongside you, and you can summon your Guardian by enduring Torments.
Crystar's combat system is challenging, and the game's narrative is compelling, making it a must-play for fans of the Action RPG genre. Spend time in your room reading a book or petting your dog to confront the Torments before they overwhelm you.
