Tricolore Crise

Tricolore Crise (which is read as the English word "crisis") is a Japan-only Dreamcast RPG developed by HuneX, a prolific developer of visual novels as well as the Blue Breaker series.

Boasting an ATB-influenced battle system and a slew of mostly optional story events loosely set to a calendar, this open-ended fantasy tale in the vein of the early Atelier games tasks the player with guiding a newly formed team of three young women through the examination process that will test whether they are worthy to become masters of one of many magical towers that protect human civilisation from the threat of the Iblis, a savage, menacing, and mysterious race of magical monsters.

Sega's final console, the Dreamcast (1998/1999), was ahead of its time with built-in internet connectivity and an influential library, but a short commercial lifespan cut its game catalog short. That abrupt end means Dreamcast print runs were smaller across the board than a longer-lived console would have had, and it's now one of the more actively collected fifth/sixth-generation systems specifically because of that scarcity.

Gamevaro tracks Tricolore Crise for Sega Dreamcast with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Tricolore Crise to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This DC release dates back to 2000.

Market insights

Tricolore Crise has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
