CRYMELIGHT: PS5 and Switch 2 release, price, gameplay and PC delay

CRYMELIGHT takes the motifs of Alice in Wonderland and transforms them into a dark roguelite action RPG. The game has been available on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 since November 4 and 5, 2026, depending on the region: the French PlayStation Store lists November 4, while FURYU announced November 5 at midnight in Japan (JST). The PC release, planned for Steam, was delayed at the last minute: the publisher says a new date will be announced after platform verification is complete.

Developed by Japanese studio FURYU and published in the West by Clouded Leopard Entertainment, the game focuses on an amnesiac heroine, arena battles and progression built around skill cards. Its visual world is immediately recognizable. The question is whether its gameplay system offers enough variety to make players want to start over after every defeat.

CRYMELIGHT: release date and platforms

CRYMELIGHT has been available on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 since early November 2026, with dates listed as November 4 and 5 depending on the stores and regions. The PC version planned for Steam was delayed because its pre-launch verification was not complete. The publisher has not yet announced a new date. To make up for the wait, it increased the Steam launch discount from 10% to 20%; this reduction will apply at the future launch and is not active yet.

An Alice trapped in an unwelcoming Wonderland

The story places Alice in a Wonderland described as a prison for the souls of the dead. She awakens without her memories and receives her name from the White Rabbit. In the hope of regaining her freedom, she must face the Queen. Mary accompanies her on this journey, amid characters and locations inspired by the tale but distorted by darker themes: regrets, sins and painful memories.

The game therefore promises a story that is as interested in its characters and their pasts as it is in progressing through the levels. Early reviews often praise its visual identity and atmosphere, although opinions are more divided on the pace of the combat and the variety between runs.

Roguelite combat built around a card game

CRYMELIGHT is a solo action game with a roguelite structure. Its central system is based on five skill cards: their combinations influence the attacks and effects available. At the end of each stage, players choose one card from three options in order to evolve their build for what follows.

The Wonder Dimension is an area that unfolds as battles progress after enemies have been defeated. It serves to enhance the action and support combos. In the event of defeat, the run's progress resets and the selected cards are lost, while some longer-term progression elements remain. This loop is intended to encourage players to try different combinations and gain a better understanding of each encounter.

On paper, the combination of real-time action and card choices can produce different playstyles from one attempt to the next. It is also the aspect to keep an eye on: if upgrades and enemies do not change enough, repetition could take over before the progression becomes satisfying.

A distinctive world, but divisive variety

The official screenshots show a striking contrast between the bright battles and the distorted fairytale settings. The art direction gives CRYMELIGHT a distinct personality among the month's action games. The interactions between the characters and the references to Alice may also help the game establish a tone of its own.

However, the first published reviews are not unanimous. Final Weapon notably criticizes the repetition and combat balance while appreciating the dark story. Other reactions place more emphasis on the visual style and characters. These impressions come from external outlets and do not constitute a Game.fr review; above all, they suggest that the game's appeal will depend on each player's tolerance for its roguelite loop.

Price, editions, languages and demo: useful information

The official pages consulted do not indicate any difference in story content between PS5 and Switch 2. On the French PlayStation Store, the listed price is €19.99 for the Standard Edition and €39.99 for the Deluxe Edition, subject to change. The British Nintendo page indicates a download size of approximately 6.4 GB and lists English and Japanese; check your region's eShop for the available languages.

The official Steam demo remains accessible until the full release. No definitive Steam download size has been announced, and the official sources consulted do not specify any performance or resolution differences between PS5 and Switch 2; it is better to wait for direct comparisons before choosing based on that criterion.

Is CRYMELIGHT worth checking out?

CRYMELIGHT has two features that set it apart: a dark reinterpretation of Alice in Wonderland and progression built around card combinations. Players drawn to stylized action RPGs and runs they can restart will find a game worth watching here. However, criticism of the repetition suggests tempering expectations regarding the depth and variety of the combat.

The PS5 and Switch 2 release is now available. As for the PC version, players will have to wait for the new Steam date. If you play on console, the opening hours will primarily reveal whether the combat, progression and story balance each other well enough to sustain the entire adventure.
