Play itit's $2
>shitty AI moeblob as in game artworkcome on man
I did, I hated itI still want to try Crymachina though
Genuine question, is this your first game you play that looks like this or you play all the slop that looks like this?Because I cannot fathom an adult playing more than one game in this slopfest of a genre, I understand getting fooled once, but more than that, what's your problem?
>>737698019This shit released before Dall-E was even making shitty smeared trail cam images
>>737698065what's wrong with action RPGs?
It's on my todo list. I haven't seen anything that makes me want it right this second, though. A lot of people have said they didn't actually like playing it.
>>737698065>a grown man typed all of thissad
how yuri is it?^ i, a grown man, typed this ^
>>737698065Maybe he just likes action RPGs. Some women love scented candles enough they'll keep buying new ones because that always makes them happy. I can't relate, but it makes sense to want to do something you like doing.
>>737698074God I miss the Dall-E 1 days of shitpost generating.>>737697949Sell me on it for reasons besides "It's $2".
Test
Buy an ad.
>>737697949Been meaning to play it for a while. Story and aesthetics seem interesting enough even if the actual gameplay is boring and tedious.
I loved the characters and art direction, and I'm fond of action RPGs but this game takes patience to insane extremes. Like "running down nondescript hallways fighting the same 5 enemies with a rudimentary combat system for 40+ hours" insane. I got the platinum trophy on it but damn, you better be into its good points. I'd say it's worth trying for $2 but know what you're getting into. Nanana best girl.>>737698029Crymachina's a way tighter game overall, though I personally liked the setting a lot less. One weird thing Crystar did better is hit feedback, but aside from that it's a more enjoyable action RPG.>>737698772None, it's not a romantic game by any means.
This game is great for the people who enjoy the gameplay of Drakengard (aka no one)
>>737699047i'm not gonna pretend that their are other appealing features of crystar beyond riuichi's artstylebut for $2, i'd recommend it for anime slop fans
yoo?
>>737697949>CRYMELIGHT is a roguelike action game set in the world of the afterlife, where girls confront their sins as they fight to gain their freedom.

i don't have two dollars
>>737697949How about Crymachina?
I did and I liked it.
>>737699391
>>737698772a tiny bit
>>737703752I think it's on sale for like $40 right now. It's a better game in a technical sense and it's quite unambiguously yuri on top of that. Still, $40's kinda steep for what you get.
>>737698772Not very, though MC's sister is giga yandere for her.
>>737698772Crystar isn't yuri.Crymachina is explicitly yuri, none of that wishy-washy stuff.
>>737701521>threw all the previous voice actors to the wind despite breathing life into their charactersWhat are you talking about? I haven't checked all the VAs but Alice for example is being voiced by the same VA as Mirai from Crystar.
>>737701521I saw this on indie live expo and wrote it off almost immediately because >roguelike, didn't realize it was the cry* team in furyu. I'm still not sold honestly.
>>737712843Ideally I would've liked them to continue polishing their 3D action combat but considering the results so far I'm not really torn up on the direction they're taking with Crymelight, it might even be more fun to play.
>>737697949I won't because I'm not a tranny
>>737697949this one have been on my wishlist since forever, going to pink up now, thanks anon
thingken of sad
She's worth the two bucks.

>>737712843I'm not crazy about these roguelike pivots personally. First it's Hell Maiden after Pocket Mirror/Little Goody Two Shoes, now it's Crymelight after Crystar/Crymachina.
>>737698019The game is from 2018.
>>737714423You expect shitposters to know what they're talking about?
>>737706609>Cute brown girlI will now buy your game.
>>737713924*dies*
>I don't have time to play with Thelema
i do think they should focus on making the gameplay more engaging in these gamesi do not think roguelite elements is the answer
>>737716205Roguelite elements are never the answer, even if you want to make gameplay more engagingI'm fucking sick of roguelites, they're just an excuse to not do any sort of proper level design
>>737716205Crymachina still needed work but it was a noticeable step forward. The action mechanics were much smoother and the stages featured a lot less dead air. I'm looking at Crymelight and I'm wondering if Crymachina didn't perform well enough for a sequel to grow, or even maintain the development budget.
>>737716440>implying the Cry games had proper level design to begin with
>>737714272It's what the people crave. Yunyun Syndrome was finally recently released and the dev announced a new, guess what, card based roguelike russian roulette game! If you don't have this in shit your games what are you even doing?
>>737716632Saw that too. Game looks cute but fucking hell. Waiting for the whole translation thing to sort itself out with Yunyun though.
>>737716546Crymachina was also way too short in my opinion.>>737716609I implied nothing of the sort. That's the weakest aspect of both. But discarding level design entirely for being roguelite is not a improvement.
>>737697949NoIt fucking sucks
>>737716805Crymachina's length may be in response to Crystar's insane padding. Sure, it's a "longer" game but did it really need to be given how they accomplished it? As for discarding level design, I fundamentally despise how roguelikes handle progression but if they aren't going to improve the level design then maybe they see it as cutting out a middleman.
>>737697949I got it when it released on PS4 and finished it.I barely remember anything about it other than Nanana being the best girl.I’m not sure why it’s $2 and saw the studio account thank a guy I follow on Twitter for advertising the promotion so I’m guessing they aren’t doing well at all? Anyway I’ll buy it alongside the DLC costumes to support them. Total is like $7.
>>737717156It's discounted because they just announced the third game in the series.
>>737717140It's definitely in response to Crystar's insane padding, but I think they went too far still. At very least I can say Crymachina didn't waste my time, I suppose.
>>737717140>>737717253They said Crymelight is supposed to be 20 to 30 hours so it should be in the middle between the previous games.
>>737717291The "roguelite" designation removes any ability to predict that accurately. Never trust devs who tell you a roguelite takes 30 hours to beat.
crystar censored her butt dont forget
>>737719695Someone tried to Triforce on the right wall and almost got it.
>>737698772One of the girls LITERALLY got knocked up by a man.
