How it feels

A catlike warrior's punishing but rewarding third-person action RPG focused on precise dodging, blocking, and magical combat across a cursed dark fantasy world.

What players say

Players are split on Kristala. Some enjoy the cat-themed dark fantasy world and parry-based combat, but most say the game shipped unfinished, three weapon types and three zones instead of six promised, with bugs and poor mouse and keyboard support. Bosses are frequently called health sponges that two-shot the player, and the devs are criticized for banning feedback about bugs.
