Crymachina is an action RPG where mechanical girls strive to survive in a post-apocalyptic world to become “Real Humans''. But what does it mean to be a “Real Human”?
Crymachina serves as a visually striking and thematically intriguing action RPG that is dripping with style yet feels a bit too small for the story it wants to tell.
Crymachina is a game with a cool concept and engaging story that starts out quite promising. Its interesting narrative and solid combat, however, is ultimately tempered by its linear dungeon design and repetitive gameplay. It’s not a bad game, though, and is actually quite fun when it’s hitting on all cylinders. In fact, some might find it worth playing...
Crymachina boasts a dark, imposing world populated by monstrous machine enemies that uses classic sci-fi themes to examine deep existential questions. However, it doesn't offer you any agency through a story that is unsatisfyingly similar to the studio's last game.
CYMACHINA is an RPG with interesting ideas and good combat that ends up sinning for an excess of repetitiveness in its enemy and map designs, as well as a story that ends up tripping a little over itself.
Crymachina is full of compelling character design, dialogue, worldbuilding, and music. Despite the game's quirks and balancing, it can provide plenty of kinetic action RPG thrills.
