Gamers who crave juicy, good old RPGs with a unique battle system should definitely keep an eye on Crystals Of Irm. Our game will grace PC, PlayStation 4, 5, XBOX One, Series S|X and Nintendo Switch later this year. To build up some hype among our fellow gamers, the release window reveal is backed by a flawless trailer and a signature Deck13 Spotlight move – Mark your calendars for ***BER 2026!
Deck13 Spotlight and developer David Schütze are thrilled to invite all players to the beautiful world of Crystals Of Irm later this year! Your party of three brave heroes follows the archetypes known from beloved classic retro RPGs: fighter, mage, and ranger. They will test their might by exploring dangerous dungeons and traversing the vast lands of Irm with its cities, villages, and towns (in first-person 3D!) full of citizens awaiting your assistance. A complex combat system makes the gameplay challenging but never unfair.
In Crystals Of Irm, you will lead a party of heroes – proud representatives of three unique guilds, each embracing a different combat style, but sharing the same quest: to restore the long-lost Crystals that must be united once again. But it’s no easy task. Legends speak of three horrifying dungeons where the Crystals were mysteriously hidden. Many before our heroes have succumbed on this glorious mission. Will you join them, or will you bathe in glory? Do not forget that the world of Irm is huge and unforgiving. You have a long way to go before you even touch the entrance to those horrific places…
May the Crystals shine for you, travelers!
But brave heroes also need some time to rest. Set up camp and gather your party around a hot pot of delicious stew. Fish in the lovely ponds around Irm, and enjoy vibrant, one-of-a-kind cities featuring unique characters in every single one.
Crystals Of Irm will put a smile on the face of every single retro RPG fan with its massive overworld map and first-person dungeon-crawling elements. The combat system adds some much-needed freshness to the genre with one-of-a-kind, movement-based grid battles. Suddenly, from classic systems, you will be pulled straight into modern, fast-paced battles, where movement is key to casting spells or unleashing powerful attacks. On top of that, just like in a proper bullet hell, your agility will be tested because the key to survival is dodging enemy attack sequences.
Sounds good? We hope so! Coming to Cologne in August? Who isn’t! Check out our polished demo at the Indie Arena Booth. You can enjoy the game in both English and German.
Crystals Of Irm will let you soak up the pure nostalgia of well-known hits like Ultima, but with a modern vibe. Arriving later this ***BER on PlayStation 4, 5, Xbox One, Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and on PC via Steam and GOG.
