Sisters Royale: Five Sisters Under Fire Review (what a day)
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
