Our take on Crystal Towers 2 XL
The challenge count and item-grinding system favor extended play, but they trade away a more direct pace. Progress can require repeated collection before magical artefacts become available, while the large stage count may feel less focused than a shorter platform adventure.
What is Crystal Towers 2 XL?
Play as Bernard, a monk crossing dangerous parts of a kingdom to retrieve the instruments that preserve its music.
This platform adventure combines jumping and shooting with nearly 300 separate challenges. The XL edition partially remakes the 2011 original and adapts it to widescreen. A Synthesizer lets players make magical artefacts by collecting and grinding for items. Steam Achievements add optional goals, while the Music Castle includes free Wi-Fi for posting scorecards online. The game also features an art style built around programmer-created visuals and uses the engine associated with Five Nights at Freddy’s. Water and ice stages are deliberately absent.
