''Crystal Story'' is a series of flash games created by Emmanuel Salva Cruz. The gameplay is reminiscent of old-school role-playing games -- you control a party of four and fight monsters in a turn-based style. The story follows the members of Mercenary Inc. and their adventures.
In the first ''Crystal Story'', the group is approached by a man named Hiro with a rather self-centered task -- find and capture the witch Rita, and allow him to take all the credit for it. Excited that they merely got a job, the party heads out to Evil Cave to carry it out.
In ''Crystal Story II'', a dragon falls from the sky like a meteor. A girl spots him, and when they meet, she learns that he has a task to carry out -- find the Oracle to avert an impending disaster. They set off, and soon uncover a more sinister plot at hand.
''Crystal Story'' can be played [[http://www.kongregate.com/games/lan14n/crystal-story here]]. ''Crystal Story II'' can be played [[http://www.kongregate.com/games/lan14n/crystal-story-ii here]].

!!The ''Crystal Story'' games provide examples of:
* BloodKnight: Phoebe in the first game. Nearly everything she says involves smashing something or wanting to smash something.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Lina in the second game sometimes says "This game needs a harder difficulty!" as a victory line.
* CharacterCustomization: You have a great amount of control as to what roles you want each character to play. There are some restrictions, like some characters only have access to some of the trees or their first class is pre-selected, but otherwise you have multiple choices as to who you want to be the physical attacker, magic user, and so on.
* ClassAndLevelSystem: Each tree is named after an archetypal character class, like Fighter, Rogue, and Mage. Multiclassing is possible in the first game, and required in the second game.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: In the first game, weapons that are geared towards magic have blue text, while those geared towards physical have red text.
* GirlishPigtails: Mari in ''Crystal Story II''.
* HelloInsertNameHere: In the second game, you can change the party members' names.
* OneLetterName: The default name of the main character in the second game is "D".
* OneStatToRuleThemAll: Speed in the second game. Unlike in the first game, where it just determines turn order, in the sequel it determines how often you attack. It can reach a point where your characters can attack two or three times before your enemies can act.
* SkillScoresAndPerks: Learning new abilities works this way. In the first game, each character has access to three skill trees, and you invest ability points in them. After certain amounts of points spent, you gain new abilities. In the second game, this expands to increasing stats as well.
