What is Crystals of Arborea?
Set on the island kingdom of Arborea, the last refuge after a cataclysmic flood, players uncover a world where the deity Mogroth spreads chaos among orcs and black elves. The four elemental crystals—earth, fire, water, and air—stand as the only barrier against total subjugation, and the hero must master them to restore balance. Developed and published by Silmarils in 1990, this single‑player RPG blends turn‑based combat, isometric exploration, and puzzle‑solving within a richly mythic fantasy setting. Its retro pixel art and branching narrative offer multiple endings, rewarding players who delve deep into its lore.
