Gaist Crusher Rundown, e-CAPCOM Exclusives & More!

Gaist Crusher is a customization arms action game developed by Treasure and released through CAPCOM.


Gaists
Gaists are the powerful spirits that take form in Gaist Crushers. These elemental giants can be combined with each other to great stronger versions of themselves as well.


Warriors
Gaist Crushers features an array of characters but its focus are on the three main warriors who are all members of the same operative- GCG or Gaist Crusher Galleon.

From L to R, these are the heroes Rekka, Hayato, and Kurama all in their GaiGear.


Gaimedals
Fighting is based on the use of Gaimedals, medals made from a mysterious and legendary metal that showed up on earth at some unknown point in time. These medals hold the spirits of Gaists and assist the warriors in battle.


Each Gaimedal is based on a mythical creature with elemental power. Two Gaists can be blended together to release a powerful entity called a Soul Gaist that assists each warrior in battle. Capcom is releasing sets of Gaimedals- you'll get both an unfold-able Gaist and a base that represents another Gaist. When combined they provide a more powerful version of each Gaist.


Below are each of the announced Gaimedals sets and their individual sales pages via E-CAPCOM.


Gaist Crusher Creation Gaimedals
Flame Fenrir x Million Mannen

Wind Garuda x Onmyou Yatagarasu

Gaia Orochi x Raimaster Raijin

Blizzard Unicorn x Bloody Ogre

Lightning Dragoon x Lord Baron

GM-07: Baron (Wind)
Amaterasu (Goddess of the Sun/Universe) Descent


Susanoo (God of the Sea/Storms) Descent


Tsukuyomi (God of the Moon) Descent


Izanagi (God of Creation/Death) Descent

GaiGear
GaiGear is the 'final form' of sorts for the GaiMedals- it becomes actual armor for each warrior and allows them to fight in hand-to-hand combat with the power of their GaiMedals.


Release Exclusives
The game is being released as an individual title and as a two different special sets called the GaiPhone Set via E-CAPCOM.


Along with your copy of the game, you'll receive the GaiPhone Cover for you 3DS and a Dark Dullahan GaiMedal. This item plays right into the game, as you can collect various GaiMedals and use them in-game on your warriors.


You will also get a special point card featuring heroines Hisui, Sango, and Kohaku that if you scan it with your 3DS, you'll receive 3,000 Points in game!


Lastly, they give you a hand towel from the in game shop, Shiromeshi-ya!

Not all character plots have been revealed yet. However, some clues have appeared in trailers. Akechi seems to be suffering some sort of identity crisis. (This may explain why Tenkai is playable but Akechi is not) Kanbei may be trying to reunite with Mataemon Goto, While Ieyasu seems to be questioning his reasons for joining the Toyotomi. Much like in the anime, Keiji appears to be seeking out Toyotomi (going as far as crying) The bond between Ieyasu and Motochika (The one which Motochika swears Ieyasu broke in Sengoku BASARA 3) is formed.
