'''''Crescent Pale Mist''''' is a [[2½D|2.5D]] hack-and-slash, platforming game by [[Doujin]] developer ClassiC Shikoukairu that's noted for its fierce hack-and-slash gameplay, quality visuals, and for being [[Nintendo Hard|really hard]]. Hopefully things won't become as brutal once the player learns to utilize Yunou's abilities she's got up her detached sleeves.
Players play the role of Yunou, a magician who is capable of using a deadly and forbidden form of magic known as Pale Mist, and sets out to seek the source of the Pale Mist that's seeping throughout the country of [[Magical Land|Gasyukal]] and put an end to it. Although it's a quest that's easier said than done considering the many dangerous monsters and her former comrades she will confront along the way.
Line 7:
Unlike most doujin action-platformers, the player is not limited to a single 2D plane as Yunou can jump from one plane to another and traverse to other areas (although there are times where you can't go back at all). Yunou dispatch foes with her "[[Razor Wind|blade]]" for close-ranged attacks, cast powerful magic like Rowanveld, and she carries a [[Bottomless Magazines|bottomless supply]] of [[Knife Nut|throwing knives]] for good measure. Along the way, Yunou can find items and artifacts scattered throughout Gasyukal to enhance her abilites, provide hints towards her treasure-hunting, and unlock extra difficulties and other features.
The game was first released in Japan for Windows PC on March 30th, 2006. Rockin' Android later obtained publishing rights to localize the game in English and it was released as a downloadable game for [[

{{tropelist}}
* [[One Hundred Percent Completion]]: With all those lost items and artifacts laying around scattered all over to help Yunou tackle some of the game's biggest adversaries, it'll be your sacred right to find them all.
* [[2½D]]: Yunou can jump between different parallels to explore different areas. The reason for the developer making ''Crescent Pale Mist'' a 2.5D game oppose a 2D one felt that a straight 2D game would restrict the heroine's agility.
Line 20 ⟶ 18:
* [[An Ice Person]]: Narju uses ice-elemental magic.
* [[The Archmage]]: Kurow, as he's hellbent on unlock the secrets The Forbidden, even it means sacrificing the country's inhabitants to do so.
* [[Art Shift]], [[Animesque]]: The character art was originally given a traditional hand-drawn artstyle in the original PC version. Keiko Sakurai, the art director and the artist who handled the character art of Rockin' Android's English [[
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: Three of the game's boss will make Yunou look like an ant in comparison.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Narju. She harbors great jealousy and hatred against Yunou and her ability to control Pale Mist, and she would go through great lengths to personally see Yunou killed. {{spoiler|She even sacrificed Elshiria and free Gasyukal from it's imprisonment in an attempt to kill her.}}
Line 44 ⟶ 42:
* [[Enhanced Remake]]: Not 100% though in Rockin' Android's PlayStation 3 version. The "[[High Definition]]" visuals are only 480p, with some texture and lighting adjustments, fancy new fonts and the manga-style character art. The in-game sprites are left unchanged and doesn't really match up with the manga-styled character art.
* [[Fan Translation]]: And a very rough one handled by MoogleWarrior, with mistranslations and misused terms no less (i.e. ''Royal Blade'' instead of ''Rowanveld'') due to the lack of understanding the psuedo-German language used in the game. He originally had planned a revised English patch for the PC version of the game, but the updated patch was immediately scraped once Rockin' Android acquired publishing rights to localize the game.
* [[Final Boss, New Dimension]]: Averted {{spoiler|in Chapter 6 due to Narju, being the [[Amazing Technicolor Battlefield]] attendant that she is, takes you to another dimension just before game's final boss.}}
* [[Flash Step]]: Yonou can use the Pale Mist in conjunction with her daggers to instantly warp to where ever the dagger hits.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Yunou, although equipping items can also make her into a [[Glass Cannon]] or maybe even a [[Lightning Bruiser]].
Line 91 ⟶ 89:
* [[Turns Red]]: Guaranteed to happen during a boss fight.
* [[Warmup Boss]]: Vizet and her familiar.
** [["Wake
* [[Wizard Beard]]: Kurow.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Narju, even more so in the PlayStation 3 version after Keiko's anime treatment.
