It has been five years since CRYSTAR, an action-RPG developed by FuRyu and published by Spike Chunsoft, was released onto the PlayStation 4 in the west, and since then the game has found new homes on Windows PC and Nintendo Switch. Well, this week saw the digital release of the game onto PlayStation 5 and the standard game includes over 30 costumes (some of which were originally paid DLC).
The PlayStation 5 version of CRYSTAR is priced at £15.99 / $19.99 and includes over 30 pre-loaded costumes, including items previously available as paid DLC for other versions. Costumes include adorable “Swimsuit,” “Santa,” and “Official 4-Panel Comic Costumes.” The costumes provide enhanced gameplay and provide added advantages such as reducing the costs of items, or drawing out certain enemies. In addition the original PlayStation 4 release has also been reduced to £15.99 / $19.99.
About: This is a story about girls who cry over injustice yet stand up in defiance. The action RPG where you “fight through your tears” is available now on PS5. Players control protagonist Rei as she battles the Souls of the dead in Purgatory to help bring her deceased sister, Mirai, back to life. Whatever you do, don’t dry your eyes. Power up your attacks and armor by shedding tears. The battle system includes a Guardian, an otherworldly being who fights alongside you. Crying will activate your Guardian Mode, enabling you to summon your Guardian. Once summoned, you can harness special abilities and fight to your full potential.
CRYSTAR is now available digitally for PlayStation 5, but is also available for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Windows PC.
