Introduction
Moero Crystal is a role-playing video game developed by Compile Heart for the PlayStation Vita. It is part of the Genkai Tokki series and the sequel to Moe Chronicle. The game was released in Japan in 2015 and in North America and Europe in 2016.
Gameplay
Moero Crystal is a turn-based tactical RPG in which the player controls a party of up to five characters. The player explores dungeons, fights monsters, and collects items. The game’s combat system is simple to learn but difficult to master. Players must carefully consider the strengths and weaknesses of their characters and enemies, as well as the positioning of their units on the battlefield.
One of the unique features of Moero Crystal is its “scratching” mechanic. When the player defeats a monster girl, they can use the Vita’s touchscreen to “scratch” her. This will increase her好感度(好感度) and make her more likely to join the player’s party. Players can also use items to increase a monster girl’s好感度.
