NIS America published a new gameplay video for Crystar, a JRPG created by FuRyu and Gemdrops that will be released later this year. The game will be available on Nintendo Switch on March 29 in the United States and April 1 in Europe.
Rei and Mirai are sisters who are transported into Purgatory, a frightening land filled with unearthly beasts. Rei not only learns a secret strength that helps her to fight back in this weird environment, but it also leads to her demise when she loses control and mistakenly murders her sister.
About Crystar
Rei is overcome with sadness and despair when she is contacted by Demons who offer her a dark contract: serve as their Executor and clear Purgatory of the corrupted beasts that afflict them in exchange for the ability to resurrect her sister. Rei will fight with the horrors around her and inside herself as she urgently looks for a means to rescue her sister and return home as she joins up with other Executors and finds the secrets of the shattered souls within Purgatory.
CRYSTAR immerses you in a bleak universe populated by lost people, where your tears bring you strength. Swap between a cast of various playable characters, each with their own strengths, to take on swarms of insane Specters and Revenants. In combat, build up your Tear Gauge and use it to call powerful Guardians to assist you. When vanquished adversaries’ torments threaten to overwhelm you with despair, cry and lament to find catharsis and draw power from your sorrows to improve your attacks and armor.
Rei Resurrected: For the first time on Nintendo Switch, play the definitive version of this renowned classic, complete with all previously available content.
Purgatory is on its way: As you hunt for a solution to resurrect your sister, shift between the actual world and the realm of lost souls. Meet the Purgatory’s Demon-bound residents and learn how to use their abilities to combat corrupted swarms of Specters and Revenants.
Purge enemies to acquire Torments, purify them to collect Sentiments for fight, and fill the Tear Gauge with conflict to call strong Guardians and reach your full potential.
On the Nintendo Switch, Crystar will be available both physically and digitally.
