Thread: New Upcoming Game: Crystal Maidens

wow, thanks. I used a VPN and indeed now am able to play it. The only question I have: is it worth to invest any time in it right now or will there be a wipe of account data when the offical release starts?

Well from my past experience of nutaku games, they have not wiped any of their early access games. I highly doubt they would too considering there is already cash related buyable stuff, so players would send so many complaints if there wasn't some notification of some wipe. I've played just about every early access game since Kamihime and up, since that was the game that made me bother to download a VPN in the first place, just left it in place after and used it on future games. Not sure about any games before Kamihime.

You never know... but I'll play this a bit and see how it turns out. The only thing is I'm getting disconnected from game fairly often which might be because of the VPN or my browser settings...

That seems to be a new bug or something. Started getting it several times myself today. First time its ever happened.

Problem with this game is there is no notifications on updates, maybe on their discord if they have one, but aside from that, playing blind to updates. So new things and new errors might just appear out of no where.

You have a link to the discord inside the game:
https://discordapp.com/invite/sEQrHH9 (If you needed it)

This game seems to have come in and out of pre-register more times than any other game I have ever seen.

The game ain't that bad so far but the fight feel like they could have more potential. At least until map 33 (that's where I am at the moment) you just place your troops and watch them overrun the enemy. If you can't get the 3 stars try again a while later...

RNG also seems to bless me. I've got Suzume from the free draws on my second day (which might be scripted like that because there was cutscene where she said we'll meet again pretty soon), then on third day I got Eli from the free draws and from the level 30 achievement I got Coral. No dupes so far...

One question: Is there a max level for the maiden? Did anybody already reach it?

edit: okay, seems Coral is also supposed to be a sure drop as she appears in some cutscene...

Max lvl is 60.

Normal mode campaign is pretty easy, but on hard mode you'll have to do a bit (a lot) more to get 3 stars.

The maidens you get from the free gacha aren't fixed, you just got lucky. There is an introductory scene for every one of them during the campaign, doesn't mean you'll get them.

Yea, the difference between the 2 difficulties is pretty big. Hard mode is basically glass cannon for most of your girls on anything that isn't an enemy weak against your element and until you decently upgrade your HP gear and cap out your girls. Almost any attack skill the enemy uses will 1 shot your unit, and if it's a aoe, kill any in range because their AI knows to only use their aoe skill when more than 1 target is in range.

Since you drew Eli, I would honestly use her over Suzume, at least level her. While Suzume is good and fine for the regular difficulty, her survivability plummets to ridiculous levels in hard cause her HP is god dam awful. You're gonna need a lot of dodge% on her to keep her alive since her dodge is high to begin with but not enough to keep her alive.

Hum, no, they don't. AI is very simple "Skill is ready, use it".
