One day, several giant orbs fell onto Earth, bringing with them minerals and energies unseen on this planet. People called them “the Crystal Star”. After a global wave of panic, people began to study and exploit those resources as on the Crystal Stars they found the five most powerful crystal energies, i.e., the water, the fire, the wind, the light, and the dark. Smart ones tried to store those energies in capsules and they made it. Since then, Human technology took off with the help of those energy capsules and Earth entered a new era of prosperity driven by both magic and technology. As the demand for crystal energy soared, mining gradually became a major source of energy and wealth. At the same time, various powers, thirty for the right to mine, were sharpening their blades against each other. More systems in the future: - Build the structure to manage.

Unfortunately, this game currently has no login system (guest account only so all progress is lose if deleted), and no support system either. There is also no “Gallery” mode of all the units in the game for some reason; I hope this game improves and adds these features soon. (Edit: also there is a bug where if you evolve a character to rank 3 their leader skill doesn’t work, and also a bug where the Rockstar Summon does not have the Ad watch options; I’m also surprised at the lack of support system for this game as well even though they have monthly updates but I hope they can be able to fix these bugs soon) (Edit 2: looks like they have fixed a majority of what I have said! Including the Rank 3 bug, as well as adding Game Center support! But, I’d have to keep my current rating due to some issues: 1. The removal of the 200 Paid Currency by watching an Ad 2. The image change for the Jack a Lantern series of monsters, I wish they changed it back because the robots do not look like Jack a Lanterns and they look blurry compared to the rest of the monsters. I hope they fix these ones soon!) (Edit 3: unfortunately despite there being Game Center support, which has worked for me before in the past year/months, I redownloaded the game after a break and I found my Game Center account wiped: I tried deleting the new level 3 account but to no avail. They also seem to have gotten rid of the ranking system which was useful for obtaining gems, thus, I am bringing down my rating to one star. there’s a new “feature” of interacting with the girls as well, but it seems to do nothing and there’s not even any dialogues or different artworks depending on mood…) ### 2/5 — Boring cash grab *2024-04-01* Way too expensive and greedy for way too little. ### 3/5 — Good but needs some features *2024-03-30* It is a good game gameplay & character wise, with its unique zuma (ball puzzle) battle system as well as a steady amount of updates for the game.
