Crystar is a typical representative of the action RPG genre. FuRyu is responsible for the production of the game. The game was released by Spike Chunsoft.
The action presented in Crystar focuses on the character of Rei Hatada - a girl who accidentally killed her own sister. To save her, the heroine decides to make a deal with the demons and go to Purgatory to fight the souls living there.
Over time, Rei encounters more and more characters to help her cross the Purgatory. Each of these three people have their own story, which the player gradually learns.
In Crystar, the player explores the corridors of Purgatory and confronts the ghosts he meets. The fight takes place in real time and has an arcade character. Tears play an important role in the game. By gathering them in the right amount it will be possible to summon a guard who will provide support during the fight. Additionally, it is possible to switch between four different characters.
There was no lack of character development system. As the game progresses, the player gains experience, which can be used to improve their character stats and unlock new skills.
Between the skirmishes the player can leave Purgatory and move to the protagonist's room. There you can prepare for the next fights and play with your dog.
Crystar has a manga-style graphic design.

Game Ratings for Crystar Video Game.
Just Push Start: 4 / 5 by Dominic Weakland
It doesn't matter if Crystar is a bit on the simpler side or that the story has some familiar plot beats, it tells a tale that is insightful. It won't take much to want to reunite the sisters and it's an adventure that rings true for some. Toss in gameplay that might not change the world but is a blast to experience and it's a solid adventure that is easy to see the value of experiencing.
Hardcore Gamer: 3.5 / 5 by Chris Shive
Crystar pairs an original and compelling story with fairly average gameplay.
Daily Mirror: 3 / 5 by Eugene Sowah
It’s fair to say that there aren’t many emotionally driven games like Crystar on the market, and it excels in creating a heartfelt experience from start to finish. The battle mechanics and gameplay systems have been tailored well to keep in tune with the game's themes. For its relatively short duration, there is an admiral amount of content that will see the completionist looking to finish the memoirs of the dead. However, Crystar can feel really repetitive with its constant reuse of reskinned enemies and level designs which can be frustrating at times.
