Sisters Royale: Five Sisters Under Fire

I personally didn't care for the generic chibi characters, the halfbaked cube mini-bosses, the dialogue, the music, or the story, though I've tried to look past that. But I kept walking too far into bullets, but that could be from having a monitor above 60 fps while the game logic is tied to 60. Trying to tap the d-pad gently was still more finicky than it should have been for a bullet hell game. Perhaps the bullet patterns are fine, but I can't put up with feeling so little control any longer. I also hate everything the setting, characters' personalities, and the visual aesthetic too much to want to replay the game long enough to get good. It is nice that there are 5 different characters to choose from, but I am not feeling this game.

全実績解除までプレイ済み、参考までにプレイ時間は25時間ほど。 STGとしての難易度は高くはないとはいわれているが、普段からSTGをプレイする層から見てなのでそうでない層には実績ハードルは高め。 実績は考えずクリアだけしたいなら、コンティニュー制限がなくその場スタートなので問題なくクリアできます。 第一印象ではエンジョイ勢は楽しめないな、なんか敵固くて爽快じゃないしという感想でした。 よく引き合いに出される「式神の城」は2，3回プレイしたことがある程度なのでシステムもよくわかってなかったです。 するめのようなゲームなのでやりこんでいけば面白くなるでしょう、最初はするめかと思ったらゴム噛んでたくらい薄味なのでペッってなるわけですが。 ショットは2種キャラごとにユニーク、通常ショットと[strike]式神[/strike]召喚ショットがある。 適当にやると爽快感がない、パワーアップなどがなく火力を上げるためにはテンションボーナスシステムが採用されている、敵や弾に近づく「かすり」が必要なシステム。 通常火力が弱い&稼ぎ要素もあるので積極的にかすりを狙うのが基本、よってエンジョイ勢は被弾が増える、また当たり判定が少し大きいため嘘避けもあまり期待できない、これは当たり判定のサイズまでも2001年頃の式神の城を流用しているのではないだろうか？ ボス戦の前にストーリー的な掛け合いがあるが面白くは感じられなかった、むしろテンポを悪くしているだけに見えた、ボイスもないので最初からオプションでカットしてもいいくらい薄い。 ステージギミックで氷に足を取られ操作不能に近くなったり、風にあおられるのは面白いと思いが、難易度で緩和があってもよかった。 最初氷に足取られたときバグでコントローラ効かなくなったかと思いました。 ボムは無敵効果あり即時発動なので緊急回避としては有用、しかし攻撃判定が即時発動でなくラグがある、撃ち漏らしがでるので爽快感ダウン。 実績狙いやハード難易度では決めボムが必要な場面もあり、STGはやはり覚えゲーとなる。 オプションにマニアック設定があり敵弾のサイズや速度の調整、かすり距離などが変更できるが最初は解放されていない…いやなんでだよ、弾に近づいたらスローになるとか最初からほしいよエンジョイ！ 条件を満たすとじわじわ解放される、おそらくキャラや難易度ごとのクリアで解放と思われる、ある程度やりこんだ猛者にのみ許されるようだ、そして実績はマニアックオプションが一つでも設定されていると解除されない。 いくつかは使用不可でいいと思うが、ある程度は緩和した状態でも実績解除できるとよかった、ノーコンクリアとか敵をすべて倒すとかマニアックオプションを開放さえすればできるかもっていう希望が無い。 ボスの攻撃パターンが似たり寄ったりでうーん…なところもありますがSTGやりこみ勢なら稼ぎパターン考えたりで楽しむ余地はありです。 STGを好んでプレイする層や式神の城をやりこんでいた方にはお勧めかな。 そうでない層にはお勧めしがたい、同価格帯のインディーSTGをあさるとプレイフィールのもっと良いものがたくさんあります。 とはいえセールで安く（160円）買えたので気になる方はぜひ。

When I first purchased this game, I was very new to shmups in general, having only real experience with Touhou. I was surprised to see so many recommendations for this title considering it seems to do pretty much everything I've now been taught is terrible within the genre: momentum based stage gimmicks, visual obscuration, do-nothing enemies that come in predictable blobs, uninspired scenery and samey music, etc. etc... All of that not mentioning the technical side of things, which is for some reason a rule in shmups, where rebinding the controls or even getting the game to recognize your controller properly is a feat in and of itself. For some reason the 'skip cutscene' key is also hidden and not able to be rebound, so have fun hunting around for that. Aside from the cast of the characters and their portraits being somewhat interesting, the story is as meaningless as you'd expect it to be, and none of the bosses stand out in terms of mechanics or patterns. I will say that the grazing mechanic which powers up your shots when you're close to a bullet is cool, but it's not enough on its own to redeem what is otherwise a lukewarm flop of a game. Gave it more than a few tries, but it just doesn't hold up to other stand-outs in the genre.

It's a good quick game. It's not particularly hard compared to other bullet hells but nothing really stands out as a unique feature. I would recommend it on sale.

На 2-3 часа и надоедает. За 50р. ок.

it's uh... it's alright. goes on sale for three dollars and that's about as much as i'd recommend it for. it's not as interesting as castle of shikigami but it's functional and there's some okay jokes.

I'm a shmup beginner and not enjoying this one. So, long story short, PICK THIS UP IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING IS TRUE: 1) you already played its spiritual predecessors, Castle Shikigami, to death. Castle Shikigami 2, a classic, is easily available on Steam or on PS2/GameCube if you prefer to play an older version. 2) You somehow love the aesthetic (more power to ya) 3) You are hardcore into shmups and need something quality to play I originally got Sisters Royale because I thought the game would be more accessible and lighthearted, but idk, I'm not a fan of the visuals at all. The harem anime thing is funny but not my style either. Music is good, score system is fun and "juicy," but idk everything just looks so bland and cheap. I've played sparse shmups but this game is kind of just an eyesore with its saturated colors. Idk if it's just me, but I also felt like my character's hit box didn't have that razor sharp clarity it does in the Shikigami series Also as a bonus I wanted to play this on my old potato laptop and it struggled, where older shmups seemed to run just fine. Kind of disappointing

Capolavoro totale. Non manca di nessuno di quei piccoli dettagli che un gioco ARCADE DEVE avere. Inoltre: Grafica pulita, gameplay ordinato, fisica presente. Anche le classifiche sono fatte bene. Perfetto. Total masterpiece. It lacks none of those little details that an ARCADE game MUST have. Also: Clean graphics, tidy gameplay, present physics. Leaderboards are also well done. Perfect.
