Crymachina

About

Crymachina is a third-person action RPG from Aquria that casts you as Lebel Distel, a girl thrust into a desolate future where machines strive to rebuild humanity. Set in a crumbling world operated by mechanical beings, the game blends melee combat with elemental abilities as you navigate decaying environments and figure out the Propagation Plant’s secrets. You’ll battle corrupted androids and environmental hazards while piecing together the mystery of Eden’s purpose. The story centers on Lebel’s partnership with Enoa, an android guiding her through a philosophical struggle over identity and survival. With a July 2023 release on PlayStation and PC, the game leans into its central question, what defines humanity, through character-driven moments and bleak, atmospheric settings. While combat can feel repetitive at times, the narrative’s emotional beats and art direction earn praise from early playthroughs.
