Publisher Spike Chunsoft and developer FuRyu have released a surprise western version of CRYSTAR on PlayStation 5.

CRYSTAR is now available for PlayStation 5 in western regions, via the PlayStation Store. The Japanese PS5 release is still set for February 2025.

The tearful Japanese action RPG has been available on Windows PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

The PS5 version includes over 30 costume DLC! Cute skins like swimsuits, Santa costumes and official comic outfit are included.
Some costumes unlock special effects that are advantageous for smoother gameplay, such as purchasing items at a discounted price or changing the appearance rate of the special monsters.

For when I weep, then I am strong.

A girl named Rei and Mirai, her little sister, are dragged into the afterworld of Purgatory. To save her sister, Rei signs a contract with the Demons of Purgatory to fight the monsters infesting their world. Rei and her fellow Executors must face their pasts and confront their tears to overcome the Torments and monsters ahead of them. Will Rei save her sister’s Soul before it’s too late?
