Our take on Crystal Story II
The central quest receives the main emphasis, but the game also includes randomized dungeons, class mixing, a pet, several minigames, optional areas, and post-game bosses. That broad structure makes it less of a narrowly focused story campaign than the premise alone suggests.
What is Crystal Story II?
Lead a young dragon on a quest to defeat an evil witch and stop an invasion.
Battles are turn-based, with control of up to four heroes and a flexible class system for character development. Explore a large game world, meet NPCs, recruit allies, complete side quests, and discover optional dungeons and bosses. Dungeon layouts are randomized, while equipment can be upgraded and items combined through alchemy. Activities outside combat include fishing, card duels, a battle arena, zombie defense, mercenary defense, snowboarding, and treasure-chest puzzles. A pet can be dressed up and summoned during battles. Additional quests and bosses become available after the main game, and the package includes Crystal Story.
