    THIS IS FOR ANYONE ENTICED BY THE USER SCORE! I bought the game and it is an uninspired mess! I have played several hours and literally every battle can be won by going close to the enemy and pressing square until the enemy dies. There is absolutely zero challenge in this game.

I bought the game and it is an uninspired mess! I have played several hours and literally every battle can be won by going close to the enemy and pressing square until the enemy dies. There is absolutely zero challenge in this game. You learn all sorts of moves that basically have zero utility and you get a persona like being that also is not necessary to win any of this game's easy battles. Having played as long as I have, I have encountered about 3-4 unique enemies. In essence, I have spent like 6-7 hours fighting the same 3-4 enemies ad nauseum. You get new characters but they play almost exactly like the main character does in the context of the game itself. All you do is run and attack things with any of the characters. THAT'S IT! Do not be fooled by the fact that it has a great user score. I am not sure what these people were thinking but some are suggesting the combat is not too easy. It is the easiest combat I have come across since every single battle can be won by running from enemy to enemy and pressing square until you win. This is made especially easy since there are about 3-4 enemy types and you quickly learn their patterns. Not that you need to because they do basically no damage to you. I have yet to use an item, I have yet to die, I have yet to feel challenged in any way, I have yet to buy anything from the in game merchant, I have not grinded at all and I can go through every level with zero threat. Not good, if we are being honest.… Expand

    The game isn't a masterpiece, it just has a ton of fake positive reviews. It's not the best ps4 game ever released. Don't get scammed.

    Terrible game with cringe story and characters, the gameplay is so clunky and repetitive.
    Controls are like driving a tank, the frame rates keep dropping and i had 5 crashes so far.
    Very bad game.

    Anime fans literally have no sense of taste. Loli-bait like this is a perfect ten in their eyes.

    Infelizmente não é um gênero que agrada a muita gente e acredito que poderia ser melhor trabalhado

    I don't like the story too much it's horrible, and too disappointing. And gameplay is bad.

    Strange. The user score has 2000 positive but no reviews. And I found the first 10 reviewers Only review this game with 10.

    Mediocre thrash metal that doesn't deserve such high ratings. I don't know how such a large number of players, in principle, can like such a talentless and negligent project.

    La iluminación es demasiado intensa, puede hasta causa daño físico, un diseño de nivel pobre, los personajes están bien, pero la dirección de actuación brilla por su ausencia.

    Endless grind, very slow progression, and an abysmal battle system, are the major knocks against what would otherwise be an average experience. The story itself is unique, but hardly goes into depth instead relying far more on shock-value of events occurring rather than actual meaning. Unfortunate, really, as the plot serves up a huge potential for some interesting questions, or dialogue - things that are completely missing.

    Crystar is one of those titles that makes it out of Japan and it is going to be a reference for the RPG titles to come. Fluid combat system, characters with their own fighting styles and complex plot are its strengths. Gemdrops Studios offers a title which is far from perfect, but it is able to impact the player like few games can.

    A trigger warning in game form - without any trigger warnings. Had a lot of potential, but unfortunately misses the mark.
