Trying to take a break from everything and delve into an old school game I’ve never heard of before. Was browsing the NES app on the Switch and Crystalis looked interesting. Only about 20-30 min into it and it’s fun enough so far.
Has anyone played this before?

It’s been a good escape from the newer stuff. Getting lost in an NES game I’ve never played before has been fun thus far. It’s worth a look. Arcus does a great play through of it, and at the time, was also his first shot at the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlJm5k4EYbY
