A brilliant GBC remake of the NES action RPG, where the hero wakes a century after the apocalypse to restore peace. Sword combat feels punchy, elemental powers shine, and the world begs to be explored. A proper portable adventure of real quality.

Crystalis, an action RPG published by Nintendo on Game Boy Color, in which a hero awakens a century after a nuclear war to face an evil empire. A reworking of a cult NES classic, this careful port stayed more confidential than the original. Its desirability lies in the original game's aura, the quality of this portable adaptation and the demand of retro action-RPG fans for a cartridge that has become sought after.
