Is The Demon Crystal worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Action RPG players who want a story about rescuing a captive princess from a demon.
- Players interested in games originally produced in 1984 who want a single-character adventure.
- Fantasy players who prefer a quest centered on collecting magic orbs and confronting named monster types.
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a detailed party system may find the solo-hero premise limiting.
- Players who want a story outside a rescue quest may find the central objective narrow.
- Players seeking a self-contained series conclusion may not want the first entry in a trilogy.
Our take on The Demon Crystal
The solo-rescue premise keeps the story focused on Ares, but leaves the Justice Troop out of the playable journey after its defeat. The plot is also the opening chapter of a trilogy, so it does not present itself as the series’ final installment.
What is The Demon Crystal?
The Demon Crystal is an action RPG set in Fairys, a kingdom attacked by the demon Sharud.
After Sharud’s monsters defeat the Justice Troop and take Princess Chris hostage, Ares Knither sets out alone to rescue her and the kingdom. The journey takes him across Fairys to collect magic orbs called Fire Bombs, then onward to the monster town. The story identifies enemies including Tarantulas, Warriors, Ghosts, Dark Warriors, and Kappas. This is the first game in a trilogy and was originally produced in 1984 by YMCAT.
