Thread: New Upcoming Game: Crystal Maidens

Most of us got a dupe on the stage 30. You still get cristals instead, so it's not completly lost (but I agree, it's a bummer)

I guess I got lucky and didn't get a dupe yet then, already got my stage30 achievement random girl.

Crystals don't sound too great. While you probably need a abundant amount to max out hearts, considering the small roster, unless they give us something else to use for them they'll most likely become useless fast. Unless I'm getting that mixed up with the currency.

Well, you get on average 3 crystal per 4 stamina spent (or 9 crystals per hour), so you are not getting them this fast when you need several hundred for one girl... The small roster can be expanded.

Feels a bit more than that but I haven't bothered to keep track. But I will say with my current pacing on maxing out the hearts, it won't be long before I do max out my 4 girls (not including Nuka who is already from start).

Hopefully they do throw out new girls on a normal basis. I haven't been able to find anything about this game so I don't know whats to come. I would assume its a original nutaku game or I'm just not googling hard enough.

I would have missed this 'soft-launch' if it wasn't for this thread ^^;
It's not quite what I thought it'd be but it's somewhat interesting nonetheless. Haven't gotten that far yet; being at stage 15. Apparently there's a time limit on repeating boss stages.. I screwed up 3 stars by having my healers get wrecked in the last minute by that aoe skill ._.' On that note, I will say combat feels a bit 'finicky' at times but maybe I'm playing too aggressive.

The seemingly small pool of girls is a bit worrisome as to whether this game has much longevity unless they decide to release regular content updates. But I may get ahead of myself by saying that because I frankly have no idea. I do agree the battle sprites are pretty disappointing in comparison to the art style, especially when you think combat should be the main draw for this game. The girls themselves for the most part look rather boring. Out of the available pool I only find 2 of them to be interesting, those being Heet and Billie.

Overall, the game and the look of the girls remind me of those horrible ads for those browser games where there's a random often scantily clothed woman showing her 'valley' with the tagline "Come Play My Lord" ..the fact that the player almost constantly gets addressed with 'my Lord' doesn't help to take away from that either X3.

To a certain degree I guess it was to be expected but still..
Unlike AoM I will continue to play this on the side to see how far it really goes. Also because I do want to try and get the only 2 girls I'm interested in (　･ω･)☞

From what I understood it should be a brand new game so I would be surprised if there is any.

I find it pretty good, it's a change from the rest of the action games on Nutaku since the combat takes place in real-time. It would be 200% better with PvP and ranking system like Harem Heroes

What do you guys mean by Battle Sprite? Are you talking about the 3D, or have I missed some h scenes?

That will actually depend. Some girls apparently take a lot more crystals. I got the cannon catgirl and I'm pretty sure I've spent around 300 gems on her and she's still has a whole heart level to go.

Starting to think leveling up healing skills was a mistake. Pretty much maxed it for my level since it's impossible to collect the coins required for next level, but it only heals a small fraction of my tank's hp.

The AI for this game is so bad. I'm at one of the later stages, and my heroines keep dancing around until the time is up

What stage and have you tried moving them? (Drag and drop unit elsewhere)

I'm pretty happy with this game. The art is my favorite of the non-anime style. I like that it looks more painted than drawn. The combat is actually pretty fun, I was expecting a lot more of a grind. I'd appreciate some kind of skip button once we have finished a level with 3stars, but that's more of a luxury than anything. Not really needed due to how little energy we have at the moment.

One thing I was wondering though, is the current launch just a limited release that will be followed by a subsequent global release or is it more akin to a beta release where they will reset the accounts upon the global release? Enjoying the game for now, Happy Hunting.

Well, stage 60 seems to be the last one, it drops a legendary with 1% chance and a rare with 20% chance, both are fighter weapons, and legendary is pretty much just slightly better than the starter legendary one - 61 is shown to be 'coming soon'..

Still couldn't complete stage 60 anyway, though.. the boss is very sturdy there, although predictable enough to avoid biggest damage ability, but simple units are located quite badly, so you are wasting a lot of time to engage boss 1 on 1.

Considering myself quite unlucky here - the 30 random maiden was a duplicate of starter fire maiden... I got 1 maiden from free gacha though, which is nice, but she is also the girl you will get as 14 day login bonus, so meh... The one I got was the suzume(dark dagger girl) - she is a great melee dps, but she dies just too fast to be any useful.. so great for farming low stages, but bad for progressing and 3 star hard ones.

I never really deploy this 4th girl outside of boss fights or stage rushing, which I ended now that I am at stage 60, as she is making things harder to go for 3 star.. Unless most opponents are water, in which case she becomes better tank than the fire girl.

In my opinion, the best setup for 3 staring anything would easily be 3 ranged and 1 tank with as much defence/dodge/hp as possible. Protecting 2 melee is very hard and not worth it overall, 1 will die because of how pick up delay works. Obviously unless you get duplicate of decent gear - it's usually better to have different classes as well, but gear is not hard to get, unless we are talking about legendary, which is completely out of gacha(only 1 sword exists as legendary drop for figher and it's 1% to get it)

Leveling is too fast compared to how abilities scale, so even my highest lvl ability, which is the light healer girl one at lvl 10 only heals 15% of my tank's hp and it only gets lower as you progress.


Not much to do in the game as it is and I can't really see to improve it right now - getting new girls is even harder than in kamihime R, only 1 scene per girl, only 15 girls total(well, it's not 'only' if we consider that it will take a miracle to get over 5 as a free player)..
And considering that unlike DMM games, the western content does not have further releases, which you can just translate - the content will develop either REALLY slow or won't develop at all, so not much point telling that is still in 'starter' mode. Phantasma is the closest we got to getting a decent western game(developer wise, at least), but even it has worse balance than any of DMM games and less content, but at least it has some potential.

Also a few tips: don't waste gems on normal gacha, save up for a legendary one, that's the only one that can actually help slightly if you get lucky. You won't ever get enough for 10 draws of it anyway, so just spend as soon as you get 500 gems.
Farm boss stages - those give the most per stamina usually, not counting the stage 10 boss. Starting with stage 20 boss you can pretty much spend all stamina on bosses.
As for buildings: max temple ASAP, then barracks, then coin limit up as much as you need to get those above, level 2 inventory space is more than enough, same for research academy - just get lvl 2 or 3 and forget about it. After that comes your main party dmg shrine: I go for Fire(because legendary sword) > Nature > Light > Dark(my random girl, but if you got a good ranged girl - you might want to level her shrine earlier)
