Dark Fantasy ARPG Kristala Kickstarter Final 72 Hours Celebration

Greetings, Travelers!

We’re officially entering the final 72 hours of the Kickstarter campaign for Dark Fantasy ARPG Kristala, and there’s still time to get your paws on all the Kickstarter-exclusive rewards and in-game goodies you won’t find anywhere else.

To celebrate these last three days, we’re offering two of our most popular tiers at a special, discounted Late Bloomer price—plus a brand new tier offering both a physical collector’s copy of Kristala for PS5 and a digital copy on the platform of your choice.



You won’t be able to get the Kickstarter-exclusive collector's box art for the physical PS5 copy—which features a sturdy steelbook case and a physical copy of the Kristala soundtrack (complete with new original work from legendary composer Winifred Phillips, who’s created music for games like Assassin’s Creed and God of War)—anywhere outside of the Kickstarter campaign, so don't miss out!



[h3]Plus, all Late Bloomer tiers also come with 2 keys that’ll get you access to our closed Alpha testing.[/h3]

Don’t miss your chance to get in on a piece of the magic before the campaign ends on Thursday, 8/17 at 8am EST. Let’s see if we can rally and unlock our final two Stretch Goals for Canine Mounts and Nintendo Switch ports.

Come, Traveler…the Sacred Kristals are calling.

[h2]Back the Kristala Kickstarter campaign meow![/h2]

Kristala Demo Update Notes July 27, 2023

Kristala Demo Update Notes July 27, 2023:

- Big improvements and polishing done on the combat systems
- Complete overhaul of our AI system
- Also big improvements and detailing on the level design
- Adjustments to the lighting in Dalamase
- Improved the performance of our spawning system.
- Overall optimization and reduction of RAM/VRAM consumption
- DLSS options added to the settings menu
- Added two new armor sets
- Improvements to menus
- Photo mode added

Remaining known issues:

- Twigativa enemies don't break into pieces as before, the system we used for destructibles turned out to be unstable in UE5.2 which forced us to make them disappear instead of breaking temporarily.
- Enemies occasionally get stuck in place and stop responding, very rare but exists nonetheless. Will be addressed in the next update.

Aww: These dark fantasy warriors have the cutest widdle kitty faces




I did not have dark fantasy soulslike action RPG starring humanoid cats on my 2023 bingo card, but if you did, congratulations! Indie developers Astral Clocktower Studios are granting your wish and filling in that space with Kristala, its in-development debut title where your absolutely adorable widdle warrior must master the magic of six sacred crystals to fight a terrible curse that has mutated the other creatures of the world into monsters...
