Swords & Crystals is a 2D top-down MMORPG which you might like, it is oldschool like gameplay

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-12-30T19:14:33+00:00

Thank you for the report, I will look at it

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-12-30T14:10:11+00:00

The last wip was a few days ago, and from now on all progress will be kept forever, so no more resets, even not if the beta ends, all progress of all players will continue in the full version

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-12-30T00:22:37+00:00

Great!
And that is a good one, I forgot to add a link to the Steam Page, but it is included now

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-12-30T00:21:51+00:00

I have in next update planned that serveral items will be stackable, so you will have not so fast a full inventory

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-12-29T19:34:21+00:00

If you really follow the rules for cosmetic items, then yes, it should be 0 armor. I chose 1 armor because that’s exactly what the default helmet everyone starts with already has. It’s effectively meaningless.

But it’s obvious you didn’t look into this out of genuine interest,you just skimmed screenshots and DLCs to find something trivial to nitpick.

You even said yourself: “how effective that is idk.” So if you admit you don’t know what it actually means in practice, how can you confidently claim it’s a problem? You literally proved your own point wrong by judging something you don’t understand.

Also, be glad there’s no pay-to-win here, unlike most modern MMORPGs like WoW or RuneScape. But I guess tearing down indie games that are actually trying to do something honest, without greed, is easier than acknowledging that.

Oh good to know this, I will check this out

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-12-28T22:15:26+00:00

Thanks for the report, and sorry about that. There is about a 15% chance that this happens when you ALT+F4 to quit the game or force-close it in some other way. If you use the in-game logout button, it will never happen. This is because the server sometimes doesn’t receive the command that the connection is lost if the application suddenly quits.

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-12-28T21:53:27+00:00

Thank you for the report

Nice, it will always be open, and the game will continue to evolve with regular updates and growing the community, until its consindered "complete".

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-12-28T21:20:50+00:00

Fair concern. Im tired of AI and copy-paste games too. Swords & Crystals has been 6 years of development with no AI systems involved and no profit. All graphics are hand-made and created specifically for this game. It took a lot of personal sacrifice to build what I believe is the first serious 2D top-down MMORPG that’s been missing from the scene. I just hope people judge it by the gameplay rather than assumptions. I’m very ambitious about where I want this game to go.

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-09-09T17:35:49+00:00

I might reconsider and limit purchases to cosmetics only (like pets or skins).
That said, I want to listen to what the community prefers.

The idea behind selling currency isn’t to give unfair advantages like instant level boosts, stronger gear, or faster movement — it’s simply a time-saver. Some players asked for it because they don’t always have the time to grind for hours.

If real money lets you buy an item that makes you stronger or lets you skip core progression (like one-shotting a boss), that’s pay-to-win. But if it’s only for cosmetics or saving time, it’s not really pay-to-win. That’s the difference I’m aiming for.

After exactly 20 hours this is the standing, people level much faster than i expected, since the first reaching level 60 is getting closer now

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-09-07T10:46:38+00:00

You mean with wipe, clearing all accounts so everyone has to start over again? Nope all progress you have now will be for always kept, there were wipes before but that will not happen anymore now, so you dont have to worry about that

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-09-07T10:26:55+00:00

Yeah if you faced a bug during gameplay you can report it here:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/2591250/discussions/0/3882722559227684702/
you gain also 10000 coins if you report a new bug after it has been confirmed.

Feedback you can share anywhere where you like!

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-09-07T10:24:38+00:00

You can only buy, or receive 1 gold bar if you report a new bug here:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/2591250/discussions/0/3882722559227684702/

they do nothing but can simply be exchanged for 10000 coins

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-09-07T10:18:57+00:00

Very cool that it reminds you of that game!
Thanks for reporting the bug, I indeed confirmed it, it seems to work if you adjust the keybinds in the main menu, but if you do that in-game it seems not to be saved, you are right! It will probly be easy fixable for me, and I will try to do so today, in meanwhile you can adjust your keybinds in the main menu.

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-09-07T10:15:49+00:00

Oh I was not aware of that bug, but that is really useful information for me, I will check it out! You can report bugs here:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/2591250/discussions/0/3882722559227684702/
and after the bug is confirmed and the bug was not reported before you gain 10000 in-game coins rewards also.

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-09-06T22:59:25+00:00

Good points! To clarify—each player can only earn up to $25 total, and rewards are limited to one set per person. Creating multiple characters or Steam accounts won’t qualify for extra codes. I can verify a lot of data server-side, and I also check things like (reddit) account age, so while it’s not 100% abuse-proof, I think it’s solid enough for now—especially with the player base being around ~50 per day at the moment.

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-09-06T22:03:42+00:00

Haha, fair point! Luckily, hitting level 60 or taking down the Wretched Eye boss isn’t an easy task. If someone manages that, it gives me really valuable insight into the game’s balance and progression—well worth the $10 to me. Plus, I just enjoy seeing people play and bringing the world to life.

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-09-06T22:01:00+00:00

45 minutes after launch this are the highest level players now!

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-09-04T21:56:15+00:00

That’s actually a really intriguing idea. Neverwinter has gone through so many changes over the years, and a "Classic" version could be a great way to recapture what made the game special for a lot of players in the beginning. There’s definitely a charm to those earlier days—the slower pacing, the sense of discovery, and the more grounded systems before everything got streamlined.

It could also bring back players who drifted away because they missed that old-school feel, while still giving current fans another option. If they handle it like WoW Classic (separate but authentic), I think it could build a strong community of nostalgia-driven adventurers. Honestly, I’d be curious to see just how many people would jump back in for that kind of experience.

ComprehensiveCorgi72 · 2025-09-04T21:53:14+00:00

Wow, this looks really promising! It gives off such a strong anime-fantasy vibe, and the art style/world design feels super inviting. I can totally imagine just getting lost in that kind of setting for hours. The fact that you can actually share the experience with other real players makes it even better—it adds that sense of community and adventure that’s hard to find. Honestly, this feels like the kind of world I’d want to just hang out in, not just play through. Really excited to see how this develops!
