Unsurprisingly, upgrading to a new gen GPU fixes the crashes. Still, would not recommend the game to anyone with a 10xx series or lower Nvidia GPU until there's a proper fix available.

The game itself is great and a lot of fun, but until there's a fix for the DXGI 1168 crashes I can't recommend this game if you're on low or medium spec hardware.

Great game with solid mechanics. Get ready to spend a lot of time getting destroyed by other players until you learn the ropes.

Croixleur Sigma is an arcade hack n slash featuring two adorable main characters named Lucrezia and Francesca.

I would strongly recommend a controller for this game. And locking the game to 60 fps in the configuration tool to avoid breaking the game completely.(Very high fps speeds the game up, making it impossible to play.)

Although the game is very short it has a ton of replay value with all the different game modes, which are: Story Mode, Arcade Mode, Score Attack, Survival, 30 different challenges and an extra Bonus Mode that unlocks after you complete the Story Mode under a certain time with each character.

The main focus of this game is to kill every enemy in each of the levels until you advance to the next level, while doing it as fast and efficiently as possible to get the best time possible. Every level also increases the difficulty slightly with tougher monsters, and every 5 levels they throw a boss creature into the mix as well.

Different modes such as Score Attack works a little differently, you get 3 minutes to achieve the highest score possible.
Survival is exactly what you would expect, survive for as long as possible and kill as many enemies as you can.
Arcade Mode gives you the option to play through the Story Mode levels without any story scenes for nonstop killing.
And finally Bonus Mode, a continuation of the story with more levels and tougher enemies.

While playing through Story Mode you will unlock more weapons, each with different stats and special attacks. Think of each weapon as a different move, you can hold up to 4 weapons at a time to build any combo you would like. Oh and the more you use a weapon the higher level it becomes!

The graphics may not be the most impressive but I think it fits the game very well. The gameplay however is amazing, it made me want to get better and improve after every time I fell in battle and lost some unnecessary time. While the soundtrack did not blow me away I think it accompanies the gameplay really well.
I had a lot of fun trying to complete all the achievements, it added many extra hours to the game as well as giving me some goals to achieve while playing.

If you are in it only for the story (which is not much) then this game is probably not for you. However, if you are looking to complete most of the achievements in the game and wondering how long it would take, expect around 12 hours. That is how long it took me to finish everything.

It's a pretty solid game, so if it looks interesting to you I would definitely recommend picking it up!

If you enjoy Metroidvania games then this is definitely for you, the game is really fun to play!

Story is alright, nothing mind blowing but it kept me interested. I personally had the most fun trying to figure out all the different boss patterns, and it feels pretty satisfying when you do finally manage to kill one of them after a certain number of retries.
Don't expect the higher difficulties in this game to be easy, they are actually quite tough(which is a good thing!)

I got used to the default controls fairly quick and ran into no issues with them. That said if you don't like them both keyboard and gamepad is fully rebindable. (Worth noting that I played through the game with a wired Xbox 360 controller.)

I did run into one minor bug at one point during a cutscene before a boss battle took place and had to reset to my last save (there is always a save shrine near the boss area so it wasn't a big deal.) But other than that I experienced no other bugs whatsoever.

The soundtrack for this game is really good, my favorite has to be the music that plays during the Frozen Crypts level, it's sooo good.

Overall, good game, good soundtrack, solid controls and tons of fun!

After completing literally everything this game has to offer, Hard difficulty,Hardcore Mode, Über Hardcore Mode, Time Attack, Score Attack and all Achievements I can safely say that this is a really fun platformer.

This is a stand-alone expansion / DLC that adds 7 levels and does not require the base game to be able to play.

I would really recommend starting off on hard difficulty, normal mode just makes the levels so much easier that it's barely a challenge. Completing hard difficulty took me around 3-4 hours the first time playing, so the game is fairly short if you don't give all the other game modes a try (took me around 15~ hours to complete the game 100%)

The controls are solid for this game, I didn't mess up once because of bad controls or anything like that, Giana moved where I wanted her to, worth noting that I used an Xbox 360 controller to play through the game, can't say how the keyboard controls are as I didn't try them.

Now the soundtrack for this game, and the base game is fantastic. The Cute / Punk version of every song blends together perfectly when you switch between the two different versions of Giana.

This is NOT an easy game, you're gonna have to restart over and over again, be prepared.

This game is a lot of fun, for a guy like me who grew up with a lot of RPGs this is a perfect match.

I really liked the turn based combat, even if you can't choose what spells or abilities to use exactly, it's more like guiding them on what type of abilities to use. I never felt that I lost a battle due to it anyway.

The story is alright, I had some doubts at first but as it developed a bit it drew me back in, and I'd say it's pretty decent. The game also have a pretty good soundtrack to listen to, especially later in the game.

You can expect roughly around 100 hours of fun in this game if you complete most of the side quests, and even more if you decide to upgrade every weapon for your squads.

A very fun and enjoyable game for turn based RPG fans.

This is a fun little game about running an item shop and rip off your customers.

The gameplay is a lot of fun, and when you aren't trying to sell everything in town at the highest price, you can if you so choose go to a dungeons and loot more stuff to sell.

The game also has some pretty good replay value with New Game+, Survival Mode, or to simply continue on your save after the game is complete. And if you really want to, you could complete the item encyclopedia.

Overall a very fun and interesting game, if you even have the slightest urge to play it I would recommend it.

This game is brutal at times, a really tough platformer with a bit of combat that actually is quite enjoyable in small doses.
The controls for this game are really tight, I used a 360 controller and didn't run into any issues at all during my time playing - the character moved like I told her to. I didn't try it with a keyboard at all so I can't say anything about that.

The only complaint I have is that wall jumping was tricky to master, more specifically dropping from a wall instead of jumping makes you unable to double jump afterwards. But after a few hours of practice I got used to it and it didn't bother me so much anymore.

Overall I'd say that if you enjoy tough platformers then this one won't disappoint.
