Crystals Of Irm is a new retro-inspired RPG from developer David Schütze, publisher Deck13, and Drillhounds. It’s set for release on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch later this year. Crystals Of Irm has been inspired by “RPG classics like Ultima and Chrono Trigger with its overworld map, but offers a nod to fans of modern, fast-paced bullet-hell indie gems”.
The publisher has said that it will provide “gamers who crave juicy, good old RPGs with a unique battle system”. Players will have a party of three brave heroes that follow the archetypes known from beloved classic retro RPGs: fighter, mage, and ranger. They will test their might by exploring dangerous dungeons and traversing the vast lands of Irm with its cities, villages, and towns full of citizens awaiting your assistance. A complex combat system makes the gameplay challenging but never unfair.
Crystals Of Irm will put a smile on the face of every single retro RPG fan with its massive overworld map and first-person dungeon-crawling elements. The combat system adds some much-needed freshness to the genre with one-of-a-kind, movement-based grid battles. Suddenly, from classic systems, you will be pulled straight into modern, fast-paced battles, where movement is key to casting spells or unleashing powerful attacks. On top of that, just like in a proper bullet hell, your agility will be tested because the key to survival is dodging enemy attack sequences.
