[…]

crystal defenders (android)

i don’t purchase many apps/games on android unless they’re fairly cheap. so that makes me a fairly typical android user. i made an exception to buy the square-enix title crystal defenders not because i was excited about the title, but more so because square-enix was attached to it. by purchasing it i was hoping to […]
