Cristalis 1.09 (beta): Crystal Defenders Recomp, an unofficial native PC port of Crystal Defenders
(Xbox 360, Xbox Live Arcade) by static recompilation.

New in 1.09: DarkLauncher 2.15. The music behind the menus no longer cuts out at every move,
and the preview keeps its pace. A 1.07 or 1.08 offers this version by itself: start your game, and
choose "Update" in Settings, Internet.

Since 1.07: your saves are in the game's saves folder, and the launcher tells you when a newer
version is out and installs it when you choose "Update" (it checks the file's size and SHA-256
against GitHub's first; your saves, screenshots, settings and game data are kept). The look is one
request to GitHub at each start; turn it off in Settings, Internet. Copies before 1.07 cannot update
themselves: install this one by hand once.

You need your own copy of the game: the CRYSTAL DEFENDERS (or 58410989) folder from your
console. These programs contain no game assets (pictures, sounds, music, texts): they are read
from your copy, which is checked on installation. Crystal Defenders belongs to Square Enix; this
project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Square Enix.

Downloads

  • Windows 10/11, 64-bit: Cristalis-Setup.exe. Put your CRYSTAL DEFENDERS folder next to it
    and run it. Already installed? Run it again: it installs over your copy and keeps your things.
  • Linux x86-64 (experimental): Cristalis-linux-x86_64.tar.gz. Unpack it, copy your folder into
    it, run crystal_defenders.sh.
    So far it has only been run under WSL (Linux running inside Windows), never on a real Linux PC
    or a Steam Deck; DarkLauncher's Linux side (window, menus, sound, controllers) is just as new.

Download them only from this page.

What it has

  • The game on DarkLauncher 2.15 (open source, MIT): settings screen, pause menu, seven languages,
    keyboard, Xbox and PlayStation 4/5 controllers with vibration, achievements, screenshots,
    accessibility options, updates.
  • The game's six languages; internal resolution up to 3840 × 2160; HDR (Windows).
  • A crash report that says where the game was ("W1, Stage 2, Wave 5").

It is a beta: played by few people so far; real controllers, real Linux PCs and the Steam Deck
have not been tried yet. Everything else: README,
CHANGELOG.
