Crystal Crisis - Nintendo Switch

It looks, sounds, and plays nearly identically to Capcom's masterclass puzzler Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo. But since this isn't Capcom, it has none of the Capcom characters charm or presentation. Some of the matches feel over difficult. But the fact that we can have something like on the Switch is a major cause for celebration. As with Puzzle Fighter, multiplayer is where the game shines the most.

When I first heard of this game I didn’t think much of it. But when I saw previews and gameplay it sold me. It’s a great puzzle game. It’s better when you play with friends to see who’s the best. There’s a story mode if that interests you. Unlock-able characters and the opinion menu is very manageable and easy to set it to your preferences.

If you are fan of, or enjoy puzzle games that are similar to Tetris, then, Crystal Crisis is one you may want to consider. Crystal Crisis offers intricacies and challenges that can be frustrating, yet, satisfying to forge through. For example, if your opponent manages to secure a combo, then, you'll end up with timed blocks. Timed, meaning, these blocks fall on your side of the screen and cannot be used until the number inside of them dissipates. So, a block with 5 in it, has 5 turns to go before it is rendered usable. That aside, a lot of detail and thought went into this game. Many of the characters available pay homage to a specific game. E.g. Isaac from the Binding of Isaac game is available to play. It's kinda cool to use a character you played in another game. Each character also has a unique set of moves and combos to offer too. Which means, if you want to master Crystal Crisis, you'll need to explore the various characters and moves. Overall, this is a good puzzle game. Be forewarned though, it can go from a casual "fun" game to "stressed out and frantic" game in the blink of an eye.

If you enjoy Puzzle Fighter then you'll enjoy this game because it plays exactly like it! This game has a good variety of modes you can play. A bunch of characters to unlock and unique abilities for each characters. Addictively fun!

This is a competitive puzzle game in the same vein as Super Puzzle Fighter. It's easy to pick up, but gets really hectic as the match drags on. It also has a pretty fun cast of characters, to boot!

This is a fun and addictive puzzle game, especially when played with others. It reminds me of Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, so if you’re familiar with that game, you’ll love this game!

Great game if you love indie characters has great gameplay and fun Easter eggs.

Seeing a great game with an average score of one-star is a shame. This is a fantastic puzzle game, and you should not allow one-star reviews from people with personal issues discourage you from buying it. Closest thing to playing classic Puzzle Fighter on the Switch. Easily a 7/10 or 8/10 puzzle game. Even has a decent story, and is narrated by the legendary Peter Cullen (voice of Optimus Prime).
