There are games that go unnoticed in the store until someone decides to give them a chance. That’s the case of Crisol: Theatre of Idols, one of those surprises that doesn’t make too much noise, but when you try it, you realize there’s something special behind it.

At Xbox Generation, we’ve already analyzed it in depth and given it a 85 out of 100, highlighting its daring proposal, atmosphere, and a combat system that forces you to think about every shot.

Crisol: Theatre of Idols, a mix of Bioshock and Resident Evil with a Spanish twist

Developed under the Blumhouse Games label, Crisol: Theatre of Idols offers an experience that recalls a fusion of Bioshock and Resident Evil Village, set in a dark and alternate version of Spain.

• Combat is one of its main attractions: guns are reloaded with your own blood, introducing a system of constant risk and reward, as each bullet consumed implies sacrificing health. It’s not just about shooting, but about deciding when it’s worth it.

This is complemented by mannequin-like enemies, symbolically charged scenarios, multiple puzzles, and a map that facilitates exploration without losing the sense of tension. The estimated duration is around 12-14 hours, offering a compact but intense experience.

Additionally, its current price (18 euros) makes it a very attractive option for those looking for a well-constructed dose of horror before the arrival of Resident Evil Requiem. If you like proposals with personality and mechanics that force you to measure every move, this is one of those titles that deserves attention.
