Crystalis: Difference between revisions

'''Crystalis''' (known in Japan as {{nihongo|''God Slayer: Haruka Tenkū no Sonata''|ゴッド・スレイヤー はるか天空のソナタ|Goddo Sureiya Haruka Tenkū no Sonata|lit. "God Slayer: Sonata of the Far-Away Sky"}}) is an [[action-adventure]] [[RPG]] produced by [[SNK Playmore|SNK]] for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]].  It was released on [[April 13]], [[1990]] in Japan and later that July in the United States.  Though ''Crystalis'' never became a runaway hit, it is now considered a cult classic. The game's initial success prompted a release for the [[Game Boy Color]]  by [[Nintendo Software Technology]] in 2000, which is generally considered more of a remake than a simple port.  Many changes were made to the story, music, and other aspects of the game, upsetting many fans of the original.

The game begins with a man's awakening from a cryogenic sleep one hundred years after a global nuclear war. Even though he is unable to recall his name or who he was, he begins to discover that he may be the key to save this world from destruction. Aided by four wise sages and a mysterious woman, he rises up against the tyrannical Draygonia Empire to ensure that humanity ultimately has a future.
