The briefing

About this game

Crystal Warriors is a tactical role-playing game set on the continent of Tyramus, where the invading Jyn Empire seeks to control the four elemental crystals of Arliel. After Princess Iris escapes with one crystal, players must protect her and push back Emperor Grym’s forces.

Combat is turn-based, with fighters, healers, rangers, and mages bringing different skills to battle. Engaged units enter duels of up to two turns, with commands including attack, retreat, spell, and monster. Defeated non-human enemies can be tamed and used as allies, offering extra attacks or protection for their masters.

Between battles, towns provide opportunities to rest, purchase weapons and spells, and recruit new party members.
