Crystal Crisis is free on Steam for a short time

Steam users can add Crystal Crisis, which is normally sold for a fee, to their accounts for free for a limited time. The campaign for the competitive puzzle game developed by Nicalis will end on September 22. Those who complete the “Add to account” process before the time runs out will be able to keep the game in their libraries after the campaign.

It’s not a free weekend here. Adding the game to the account during the campaign provides a permanent license; There is no need to download or start playing right away. Since the end time shown by Steam may vary depending on the region, it would be better not to leave it to the last day. It is also useful to check that the transaction is completed on the library page.

According to the official product page on Steam, Crystal Crisis combines a fighting game presentation with a color-matching puzzle structure. Players put pressure on the opponent’s area by sorting and clearing the fallen crystals. The production was released on July 31, 2019, and Nicalis is listed as both developer and publisher.

The game has local and online multiplayer options. Single-player story and lounge modes are also included in the package. A total of 20 playable characters include well-known names from different productions such as Astro Boy, Black Jack, Isaac from The Binding of Isaac and Cave Story characters. This crossover squad adds a fighting game twist to the game’s classic block-matching formula.

How to get Crystal Crisis for free?

All you have to do is enter the Crystal Crisis store page with a Steam account and use the free purchase button. As a result of the transaction, it should be verified that the price appears to be zero and the license is added to the account. It is possible to download the game later; The main condition is to add it to the library before the campaign ends.

On the Steam page, user reviews for the game appear to be at the “Very Positive” level. Although the number of reviews is limited compared to major productions, approximately 80 percent of the reviews are positive. The game’s online matchmaking effectiveness may vary by time and region; Therefore, online mode should not be seen as the only reason for purchasing.

Crystal Crisis does not offer Turkish interface or subtitle support. The official page lists English, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. The puzzle base can reduce language dependency, but knowledge of one of the supported languages ​​may be required for the story and menus.

The exact closing time of the campaign on September 22nd is displayed on Steam according to the user’s local time. Even if the game does not interest them, it would be safe for those who want to get the free license to complete the process early. The free button may not appear if the account has previous restrictions or regional store differences; In this case, the price on Steam’s own page should be taken as basis. On the other hand, just because it’s free doesn’t mean everyone should make the time; A more suitable opportunity for those who like competitive color matching and quick matches.
