Ezmore’s crystals is a charming RPG with Lego elements but has some glaring flaws. For the positives I really enjoyed how intuitive the quest system is, I rarely got lost and everything led into each other. I also liked how charismatic the dialogue was but the text boxes could get in the way sometimes and were a bit hard to read. Another positive is the battle system. on the surface it looks like point and click and then you attack but you also must use some resource management in some bigger fights with your mana and spells. The character customization is also a massive feature that I think was implemented very well here. Through out your adventure you are given clothing/armor from drops, but you can buy better and stronger items in the central town of Studsville. There are also plenty of Easter eggs if you go out of the way such as the creator and some gear along a shoreline. 

 

Now for some of the exploits and things that could have been better. The biggest exploit that is readily available would be the sequence breaks. Throughout the map there are black gates that lead to the bosses. If you click on the other side of the gate your character will get stuck on the gate and clip through thus allowing you to defeat a late game boss to early. This can lead to you not being able to finish the game which is what happened to me in my first playthrough. Another thing that I noticed was how if I completed a quest with my inventory full you would not receive the reward. A simple fix would be to just let the reward fall on the ground but instead it just gets lost forever. The inventory was very easy to use but items would sometimes drop when I didn’t want them to. One of my biggest complaints would have to be how the trees and environment block your movement. Because you must point and click to move the trees can block the clickable terrain and have left me to die on multiple occasions. I think a way to fix this would be to implement a choice between mouse and WASD to move.

 

In the end it has a great art style, very easy to learn, but has some big exploits so I would give it a solid 6/10 overall.
