Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
29 of 199 sampled reviews raised it
As I said in the start of this review: there are two mechanics that adds more depth to the puzzle fighter formula in Crystal Crisis: 1) You can split your pieces when you touch the wall while your pieces are sideways; 2) There’s a gauge burst that can be used for special attack and defense abilities.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
22 of 199 sampled reviews raised it
The story mode is nice and there are other modes to help train your skills.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 199 sampled reviews raised it
The game's art style is clearly aimed at a younger audience with colorful designs, characters with small proportions and exaggerated visual effects.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
12 of 199 sampled reviews raised it
The roster is especially memorable because it brings together characters from several unrelated properties.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 199 sampled reviews raised it
As expected, the soundtrack is just as flashy and energetic as the game's art style.
Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
8 of 199 sampled reviews raised it
Customizable crystal colors and a colorblind option are particularly useful additions because accurately identifying pieces is fundamental to the gameplay.
