Crystal Defenders is a very original game for the Xbox Arcade scene and is a real challenge to play.
The tactical pace of events will ensure you won't feel ripped off, making this an inoffensive enough waste of time for fans of the genre or the Final Fantasy series. [Issue#45, p.101]
Square Enix's Crystal Defenders is just a correct game and one of the weak tower defense-style games of the last months. Challenging, but not specially deep; fun, but too short. For people who have never played a game like this, it can be a nice option, but definitely not for the hardcore gamers who are waiting for a new Ninja Town.
Yes, people, it finally happened - a phone game's been ported to Xbox Live Arcade! [June 2009, p.79]
Regardless of the decent strategic elements that Crystal Defenders offers, the fact that there is no story, any sort of progression or reward makes this a hard game to recommend to anyone. With so many other quality tower defense games available, you would have assumed something set in the Final Fantasy universe would have given gamers a better experience rather than something so completely basic.
A good game in its original form, but a port so shoddy can't be encouraged. [June 2009, p.95]
Not only a poorly disguised mobile game but one of the shallowest Tower Defence strategy games ever.
