A first-person speed running game
Crystal Call is free-to-play set inside fractured ruins floating around in mysterious caves. It is a first-person speed running game, where the aim is to avoid obstacles and clear gaps in as short of a time as possible. Through the various maneuvers, the player must make them while maintaining momentum.
This game follows the same gameplay premise as Clustertruck, where the player must use fast reaction times to respond quickly to a moving environment. In this case, the environments are mysterious caves full of strange ruins rather than a cluster of speeding trucks.
First-person speed running action
Crystal Call takes place from a first-person perspective, and the focus of the movement mechanics is speed. Players must use a variety of tricks, such as dashing, wall-riding, wall jumping, and more, to keep the protagonist from falling from the track or hitting an obstacle. The smoother they can navigate the game world, the faster they’ll be able to go.
Collectibles and shortcuts
The game features 16 levels to race through, but just getting to the end isn’t the only challenge available. Each level contains a number of collectibles and shortcuts, adding another dimension to the game for players who wish to seek them out. Of course, players can ignore this aspect and just focus on the speed running, but the successful use of shortcuts will improve the player’s finishing time.
A high-octane experience
Crystal Call has enjoyed highly favorable reviews from many of those who have played it, thanks to its fluid and fast-paced movement mechanics and vibrant visuals. It may prove to be frustrating and generally not fun for players who are not good at this type of game, however.
