Thread: New Upcoming Game: Crystal Maidens

So I saw this game pop up yesterday in the top of the Nutaku homepage and read the news post about it.
Would have started a thread earlier, but I wasn't qualified to post links yet and now I am so huzzah.

Hearing the name you would think Dota is coming to Nutaku but it's surprisingly something else; It seems interesting enough though. Apparently it was announced in early April but nothing was really shown except for the information on their blog. But now there are actual screenshots and a trailer so let's see.

• So it should be a brand new game from what I understand.
• The art style has a certain appeal. I find it more pleasant than Sweet State or Big Bang's style in any case.
• Combat seems to run smooth and not chugging like Shooting Girls did.
  Though I wonder if it gets tedious quick if you have to do it hundred times over per session.
• UI looks pretty standard; so it should be rather intuitive.

Besides the combat it seems pretty similar to other Nutaku games in terms of mechanics/progression.

I mean it's nice to see something different, but my biggest concern is if and how it will keep itself interesting enough to keep playing. Unless the real-time strategy combat system is really that much enjoyable in itself. Nevertheless, I'll definitely give it a whirl and I don't see why anyone wouldn't at least check it daily to get those pre-register rewards if you do intend to pick it up yourself.

Opinions?

Not at ALL what i was expecting (and thank god too!), but it actually looks really interesting. I might have to try it out and see whats up!

Well, the art style is unique (in a good way) at least.

Hopefully (in addition to the basics like fun gameplay) you'll be able to use lots of characters at once in large scale battles (to give a reason to collect so many different characters) and the town building is robust for more rat pellet potential.

From the looks of the combat UI you'd think it's 4 characters only.. but there are clearly more than 4 characters with green health bars on the screen in some of the scenes so I don't know. I'm just hoping it's not too tedious to evolve characters and acquire the mats/chars for it.

Will give it a try for a change, since the non anime art style will freshen things up a bit.
If the game will be interesting enough to stick with it, is another question completely

Any news about this game?

Nope, as always we will have to wait quite a while for nutaku to reveal anything

This game will be dead soon if devs dont stop being lazy and not release new stuff to do. Crystal maidens will be the game that im gonna quit when tits n tanks or another game gets released if it goes like this...

I took one look at the new event and stopped playing the game.

I'd already dropped this game about a month ago. The gameplay was just very.... uninspiring at best (even just after a few hrs). This was after I'd pretty much unlocked every single girl that was available at that time as well. You could check out SSP, which is a downloadable game they have on Nutaku now, but fair warning, it seems to be just as grindy if not even more.

Lol i already dropped from SSP too, its worse than even kamihime in terms of grinding, tho at least animated sprites is a nice thing in that game which is what kept me going.

As for aigis, if you're farming events youre doing it wrong, just collect sc, do your shrine rolls when you reach 150 and do daily stuff. There your least grindy game in the world^^ only majin event bring challenge if you aim for 10+ levels but i guess you dont even know what a majin event is since all you talk about is nutaku aigis which is confirmed sucks anyway.
