In the action-packed RPG CRYMACHINA, mechanical girls fight for survival and their ultimate evolution into becoming “Real Humans,” where the question of what constitutes being one arises and is the main act of the show. With splendid and well-detailed graphics and animations, this pay-to-play adventure plunges you into a combat-heavy yet poignant tale that asks what it takes to be human.

CRYMACHINA’s tale follows three main characters, each with their unique journey, as they engage in rapid-fire combat filled with diverse, customizable weapons and strategies. This stirring narrative, woven for and by synthetic beings, is guaranteed to tug at your heartstrings.

Become a ‘Real Human’

CRYMACHINA’s story starts off in the modern era, where a perplexing disease grips humanity. On the edge of death, a young girl, Lebel Distel, hears a cryptic voice saying, “You have been chosen.” After a brief period of absolute darkness, Leben awakens in a dreary, post-apocalyptic world, where she is greeted by an android whose name is Enoa. She gets acquainted with Eden and its objective of resurrecting humanity through creating “Real Humans.”

At the heart of this game, players must navigate between the intense battlegrounds of Eden and the tranquil refuge of the Imitation Garden. Within Eden, players face off against mechanical adversaries in adrenaline-fueled battles. These skirmishes test not only their combat skills but also their strategic prowess. Every battle brings with it a wave of catharsis and each victory peels back a layer of the dark mysteries that shroud this post-apocalyptic world.

Meanwhile, the serene sanctuary of the Imitation Garden serves as a stark contrast to the chaos of Eden, providing a much-needed respite from the heat of battle. Here, players can unwind and recharge, as well as customize their weapons to prepare for upcoming battles. It also provides opportunities for poignant, often heartwarming interactions between the characters. However, while overall interesting, it has steep system requirements for its 4K graphics.

Worth it despite the demanding setup requirements

Set against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic world, CRYMACHINA is a compelling blend of intense, strategy-laden combat and emotionally driven character interactions. The game pushes the boundary of what it means to be human, narrating a poignant tale of survival and evolution through its unique characters. Despite its demanding system requirements for 4K graphics, the game’s gripping narrative and satisfying combat mechanics make it well worth the investment.
