FuRyu has opened the official website for CRYSTAR, its newly announced action RPG developed by Gemdrops, and revealed the first official information, footage, and screenshots of the upcoming PlayStation 4 game.
Get the details and footage below.
■ Press Release Overview
The player controls a beautiful girl named Rei Hatada, who in order to “revive” her dead younger sister Mirai Hatada, makes a deal with the devil of the other world that is limbo. The story will progress as you fight the souls that drift about limbo. Also, by defeating specific enemies, “Danmatsuma Thoughts” will appear, which by “crying to purify” will develop the protagonist mentally. In accordance with that, you can obtain weapons called “Shisou,” or “Mental Armor.”
Additionally, players can summon Guardians that embody the ideologies of the characters to fight while unleashing powerful special techniques. As you progress through the story, you will be able to choose from four characters to use in battle, including Rei Hatada, and freely switch between them.
Furthermore, you can choose the Guardian’s automatic counter and guard, and even novice action game players can enjoy it with ease. It is also loaded with enemy information, a background music collection, combo system features, and more, including plenty of side elements.

■ Revive Your Dead Younger Sister
Rei, a girl who got lost in the world of life after death that is limbo, and her younger sister Mirai.
The sisters, who while confused are trying to return to their original world, are attacked by an unknown creature.
In order to protect Mirai, a superpower awakens within Rei. However, unable to control her power, Rei herself ends up killing Mirai.
The devil whispers to the despairing Rei. “If you reap the souls of the dead that drift about a different world, and sacrifice the tears you shed through that suffering, I can ‘revive’ the dead Mirai.”
Rei, who makes a deal with the devil for the sake of her sister, will take the stage in a battle that puts her own life at risk.
■ Tears Make Her Stronger
In order to save her sister, Rei will come and go between the real world and the other world that is limbo, where she will fight creatures. As she risks her life in battles against the souls of the dead drifting about limbo, Rei is being chased.
Are these actions just? Can you really save your sister?
The thoughts that build up in Rei’s mind are shed as “tears,” and she continues to fight.
