Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Solid Super Puzzle Fighter 2 clone. If you've played that, then you mostly know what to expect here. I did a quick playthrough if both that game and this title, and I can say that the game designers of Crystal Crisis knew what made Super Puzzle Fighter 2 fun. There is a brand new burst system here where you can spend meter that is gained upon eliminating pieces on defensive or offensive attacks that are unique to each character. It can be used to get out of bad, "checkmate" situations or to add more to disrupt your opponent, but not both - you'd need to recharge the meter. This system works well overall as it adds more depth to the game, as you'd have to play around these, and gives additional incentive to pick Adon over Curly Brace for instance. You're also able to wrap the pieces around the edges of the playfield and instantly slam them down. More of a personal thing, not big on a good chunk of the presentation. It doesn't look bad, but something looks off with some of the in-game character models. Some of the music is meh and I honestly muted the character voices. Not sure how many people would care for the roster of this title; Nicalis characters with Tezuka characters and the mascot of the Turbo Duo is here for some reason. Nicalis' last crossover game had Shovel Knight and Gunvolt and I think that would've made it a lot more interesting. While Cave Story is one of my favorite games of all time, the protagonists will sadly not be as enticing to good chunk of players anymore. To end this off on a positive note, the game does include colorblind options. Super Puzzle Fighter 2 didn't, and probably couldn't, include this type of option. If that stopped you from enjoying that game, then you'll be able to play this. And the game is about as good too. Lastly, I'm guessing the game is free because Peter Cullen did a voice in the intro. Nicalis hasn't mentioned this, which is typical.

Pretty fun concept of tetris-like gameplay with many different burst skills to choose from Gameplay requires a bit of muscle memory to harness, but it's not that bad Would i ever pay for such game? No. It's entirely not my genre, but despite that matter i had quite some fun and getting 100% doesn't seem that hard so i might go for that too.
Puzzle Fighter variant, not Puyo Puyo (?) or Tetris (?!) as some reviews seem to think. Has some interesting ideas but the art style is so ugly and uninspiring. I strongly recommend Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo instead, in all its pixelated glory, available in Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium for $1 frequently. The long load times are still a problem on PC with SSD. There's a long loading screen just to pick characters, then another longer loading screen for the game stage. Luckily I didn't buy it on Switch yet (had it on my wishlist for a while, but held off because of [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/CrystalCrisis/comments/buw76u/how_bad_is_the_loading/]old comments[/url] about the load time). [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/447700/discussions/0/1643170269575624663/]The developer blamed Switch hardware[/url], but clearly it's a problem with their game.
Los gráficos parecen hechos por IA, y son bastante feos. La música para olvidar, no hay ni un sólo tema que vayas a recordar. En lo jugable, es un poco copia a Puzzle Fighter, pero mal. Vamos, porque es gratis, pero es el típico juego de Steam que si te lo compras lo devuelves del tirón.
Crystal Crisis me ha hecho darme cuenta de que me gustaba mucho más el recuerdo de Super Puzzle Fighter que el propio Super Puzzle Fighter. Dicho lo cual, el juego está bien. Es exactamente lo que parece, sin sorpresas y con muchos modos de juego. Las habilidades especiales son demasiado locas y desequilibrantes para mi gusto, pero qué voy a saber yo de esto, si ni siquiera me gustaban tanto estos juegos como pensaba.
乐趣性一般的消除游戏 不过能拿到以撒的IP还是很惊喜的
ABSOLUTE CENIMA
A must for puzzle fighter fans!
Kurzes, schnelles Puzzle‑Fighting‑Game mit klaren Farben und einfachen Kombos. Tetris‑Feeling mit Fähigkeiten, die im 1vs1 richtig Druck machen. Leicht zu lernen, angenehm taktisch, ideal für kurze Sessions.
marrant..mais je regrette l époque de puzzle fighter 2 turbo^^
