Even though the actual gameplay of CRYMACHINA was a bit underwhelming at times, we thoroughly enjoyed the story that unfolded here...While the battles can still be rather tough, you can simply swap to the Casual Mode setting if you just want to delve into the game’s story content. If you’re looking for an intense and action-packed RPG, you’ll probably end up disappointed, however.

Critic reviews
- CRYMACHINA is a sufficiently entertaining romp that’s worth a go. Sure, combat may not be comparable to other polished ARPGs, but it’s still so damn satisfying. I also eventually adapted to the poor dodging mechanic, though a patch or two would help to elevate it.
- 8.0The general quality improvement in this game, over past entries, is mind-blowing for how solid everything is. The dark parts of the story mixed with heavy sci-fi elements are a welcome reprieve in a generally dry genre as of late.
- 7.3Despite its flaws, CryMachina’s ambition and unique blend of genres warrant attention. With improvements to combat variety, level design, and accessibility features, the game has the potential to fulfill its promise and deliver a truly immersive and satisfying experience.
- 8.0An outstanding achievement in terms narrative, sound, world, and character design, Crymachina is a fitting representative of "video games as art". Yet Furyu's recent creation also excels in gameplay thanks to a very fast-paced control scheme, and the right level of challenge that makes it deliciously addictive.
- 7.0Can machines even cry? If you’re into the whole mechanical girls fighting robots and trying to save humanity thing, then there might be something here for you.
