Crystal Warriors

Fortunately, Princess Iris can escape with one of the crystals and now the player has to protect her and the crystal and somehow find a way to drive back the hordes of Jyn.

Gameplay in Crystal Warriors is quite similar to Shining Force.

The player fights in turn-based battles controlling different characters like fighters, healers, rangers and mages, all with different strengths and skills.

Whenever two units engage in battle, they enter a duel mode lasting for up to two turns.

In this mode the player can choose between four commands: "battle" (attack), "retreat", "spell" and "monster".

While the first three commands are quite self-explanatory, the "monster" command is interesting.

Whenever a non-human enemy is defeated, it can be tamed and be used in battles.

While most monsters do not have many HP they can serve as good attackers for physically weak characters or take some hits in order to protect his master.

In-between battles the player can visit towns to rest, buy weapons and spells or recruit new party members.

Crystal Warriors for Sega Game Gear is currently worth €42.98 loose, €65.39 complete in box, and €107.90 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Crystal Warriors has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Crystal Warriors, loose is €42.98 and CIB is €65.39 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Crystal Warriors is currently worth €42.98 loose, versus €43.83 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
