  • Core Crossing offers a fun and straightforward dungeon crawling experience with a charming anime aesthetic and a variety of character classes to choose from.
  • The combat system is engaging, allowing players to exploit enemy weaknesses and utilize diverse class abilities, making battles enjoyable and strategic.
  • The game is relatively short, providing a satisfying experience without overstaying its welcome, making it ideal for players looking for a quick dungeon crawler fix.
  • The game suffers from balance issues, becoming too easy as players progress, which can lead to a lack of challenge and engagement in battles.
  • The story is thin and poorly communicated, with most of the narrative concentrated in the early stages, leaving players wanting more depth and context.
  • Some technical issues, such as performance stutters and bugs, detract from the overall experience, indicating a need for further polish and refinement.
  • story
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally considered thin and lacking depth, with most of the narrative concentrated in the early stages and minimal development in later parts. While some players appreciate the simplicity and twists, many feel it lacks substance and coherence, particularly during key moments like the final boss confrontation. Overall, the gameplay is often prioritized over the story, which is seen as a secondary aspect of the experience.

    • “The story is simple and easy to follow, revolving around reaching the spirit of a zeint that saved the world years ago to receive her blessing.”
    • “The opening of the game with the foundation of the story is laid out fairly quickly and you get right into character creation for up to 5 party members.”
    • “The short version of this story is yes, this game is 100% worth it.”
    • “It really felt like they wanted to end the story and/or ran out of money and/or creativity to make complicated puzzles on the last stage.”
    • “Also, the actual events that happen in the 'story' have no real setup whatsoever; there are some 'twists,' but we had no expectations to begin with.”
    • “In my opinion, the story should have either been cut or, what I'd prefer, given more substance. I think there were like 7 lines during the confrontation of the final boss.”
  • gameplay
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is straightforward and enjoyable, featuring a solid loop and customizable mechanics, with all classes available from the start. While it offers a bit more challenge than its predecessor, some players find it overly simplistic and lacking in depth, particularly in terms of story and role-playing elements. Overall, the game provides about 17 hours of engaging gameplay on normal difficulty, with easy-to-understand combat mechanics that facilitate learning.

    • “Mechanics are straightforward but the game remains enjoyable all the way through.”
    • “The gameplay itself is very highly customized since all classes are already unlocked when building the first party member.”
    • “Was only about 17 hours of gameplay on normal difficulty.”
    • “Add to the fact that the game is a bit overly simplistic; I won't keep playing as it got neither gameplay nor role-playing going for me.”
    • “The gameplay is identical to the last game, but a bit more challenging and with a different setting.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are praised for their polished anime aesthetic, appealing particularly to fans of simple dungeon crawlers reminiscent of Etrian Odyssey. While the art style is generally well-received, it may be a matter of personal preference for some players.

    • “The art style is very good.”
    • “The art/graphics are pretty decent for anime style.”
    • “It's a very polished art style.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding in the game to be a mixed experience; while the combat and build options are enjoyable and well-balanced, the necessity of gathering materials can become tedious, especially when it involves repetitive back-and-forth exploration. Some players appreciate the challenge of grinding with a single character, but the overall sentiment suggests that the grind can feel excessive at times.

    • “As for length, my time playing the game is likely skewed as I played the game with a single character which was very challenging and required some grinding but was actually possible despite the odds.”
    • “You've got a wide variety that you can craft, but grinding out the mats to stock them en masse is tedious as you'll have to wander back and forth through the labyrinth to gather all that.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game experiences some performance issues, but they are not severe enough to significantly impact gameplay.

    • “The game has some performance issues, but nothing debilitating so far.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, contributing positively to the overall experience alongside engaging enemies and bosses.

    • “Overall, it's a nice game with great music and interesting enemies and bosses.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is frequently reported as buggy and lacking polish, indicating significant stability issues that affect the overall experience.

    • “Definitely buggy, somewhat unpolished.”
