Crystal Story: Dawn of Dusk is a combination of words that screams “predatory mobile fantasy RPG” but that’s very much not my takeaway from the game’s demo.Out tomorrow on Steamfor £10.23, $11.99 or €11.83 including the 20% launch discount, this first instalment in the Crystal Story series blends the cuddly feel of a 16-bit Zelda with the dream logic of aYume Nikki. There’s a splash ofUndertale’s crackpot experimentalism to the writing and certain battles, as well.
Those are big comparisons to invoke, and I don’t expect Crystal Story to measure up to them. But it’s a lot better than I was expecting from a game whose title had me picturing microtransaction-sodden levelling systems and a pouty elf in a bikini.

Developer Fred Brown of publisher Fred Brown Games, LLC says that the full Dawn Of Dusk release “will be regularly updated to keep things fresh with additional content, areas, sidequests, and more.” Seems very promising - I just wish it had a sparkier name. It’s not even the only RPG on Steam called Crystal Story.
