Steam users can add Crystal Crisis, developed and published by Nicalis, to their accounts for free until September 22. This is not a free weekend; licenses claimed before the promotion ends are permanent, and the game can be downloaded later. As the closing time may vary by region, users should verify that the transaction has been completed and that the zero-price license appears in their library. Released on July 31, 2019, the game combines color-matching puzzles with a fighting game presentation, with players clearing crystals to put pressure on their opponents. It features story and arcade modes alongside local and online multiplayer options. The 20-character roster includes Astro Boy, Black Jack, Isaac, and characters from Cave Story. Steam reviews are “Very Positive,” with approximately 80% of the limited number of reviews being positive. The game does not support Turkish but is available in English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese. Account restrictions or regional store differences may hide the free button.
Why it matters
The fact that the promotion is not a free weekend means users who do not plan to download the game immediately can still add the license to their library within the promotional period and access it later. By combining color-matching mechanics with a competitive fighting game presentation and offering both local and online options, the game appeals to those seeking both puzzles and multiplayer competition. However, the lack of Turkish support limits accessibility, while the fact that its Very Positive rating is based on a relatively small number of reviews should be taken into account when interpreting user feedback. The possibility that the offer may not appear in the same way for everyone due to regional store differences and account restrictions is the key issue that leaves unclear who can take advantage of the promotion in practice.
