Crystar Gets Launch Trailer Ahead of Release

Spike Chunsoft is preparing to release FuRyu’s JRPG Crystar and to celebrate they just dropped a launch trailer.

We get a look at the action-based gameplay and at the various characters that we’ll meet as we play the game, on top of the base concept revolving around pain and tears.

You can check it out below.

If you want to see more, you can check out the previous trailer and another from Anime Expo.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, here’s an official description directly from Spike Chunsoft.

“A girl named Rei and Mirai, her little sister, are dragged into the afterworld of Purgatory by an unknown entity.

Scared and confused, Rei tries to lead them home when they are attacked by a terrible monster.

To protect her little sister, Rei unlocks the strength hidden within her. With it, she fights against the dead Souls of Purgatory.

However, this power turns against her. Rei accidentally kills Mirai with her very own hands, thinking she is an enemy.

Devastated, Rei weeps hopelessly at what she has done. Sensing an opportunity, two Demons appear and whisper in her ear…

“If you hunt the wandering Souls in this world and gift us with the tears of your suffering, we will bring Mirai back to life.”

Rei takes their offer and signs a contract with the Demons. Now an Executor of Purgatory, she sets out on the story that shall again and again plunge her into life-threatening battle. All to save the sister she loves.”

Crystar will release in the west for Ps4 and PC via Steam on August 27. It’s worth mentioning that the PS4 version is slightly censored, while the PC version is not.
