Gaist Crusher God

About

Gaist Crusher God is a side-scrolling action game where you control a customizable fighter in fast paced combat sequences. You mash buttons to unleash combos while switching between a sword and a shield. The game layers in a basic story mode where you play as a warrior battling through waves of enemies in a sci-fi setting. Each level ends with a larger boss fight that requires memorizing attack patterns. The 3D effects add depth to the chaotic battles but don't require glasses to enjoy. Developed by Treasure the game has a cult following among fans of arcade style brawlers. While it only spent two weeks on the 3DS eShop charts the game maintains a 7.2 user rating on Metacritic from 12 reviews. What sets it apart is the responsive control scheme and the ability to upgrade your weapon mid fight by collecting parts from defeated foes. The soundtrack and over the top boss designs also earn frequent praise in fan discussions online.
