\"\"<\/a>Five sisters with magical powers are prophesied to work together to defeat an evil being.\u00a0 Only problem is, the sisters hate one another.\u00a0 And instead of working together, they\u2019re fighting each other over the love of a man!\u00a0 Sounds like a pretty crazy story for a \u2018bullet hell\u2019 2-D shooter, but that\u2019s what this is!\u00a0 It was available earlier this year on Switch and PS4, but is now on Xbox One as well.\u00a0 But I\u2019m reviewing it on Switch.<\/p>\n

You pick one of the five sisters to play as, each one with their own unique shot pattern, close range attack, and limited screen clearing bombs.\u00a0 None of the characters really stood out to me, but the one lady wearing green had a neat homing shot.\u00a0 As a \u2018bullet hell\u2019 shooter, you\u2019ll be avoiding screens full of projectiles mostly.\u00a0 Kind of reminds me of flowery firework patterns.\u00a0 If you get close to a bullet or enemy, your shots will greatly increase in power, so you\u2019ll want to do that often.\u00a0 Sometimes you can pick up a flying fairy to double your points for a while.<\/p>\n

One neat thing about the stages is that since you\u2019re walking instead of flying, you have to deal with terrain obstacles as well. \u00a0Some are just there to block your path and bullets, while some stages have slippery floors, wind, or dark areas where you must shoot lanterns to light the way.\u00a0 There are five stages in total, and you must fight one of the other sisters at the end of each one, with your love at the end.\u00a0 But there is a surprise twist!<\/p>\n

The game has a few small problems.\u00a0 It\u2019s short at only five stages, and I do wish there was a two player option.\u00a0 You can also turn the screen sideways on the Switch to get a full screen effect, but you can\u2019t change the directional controls so that seems kind of useless.\u00a0 But otherwise this is one of the more playable \u2018bullet hell\u2019 shooters I\u2019ve come across, and I like the lighthearted feel and peppy music.\u00a0 Plus you can select your difficulty, so even I can manage it.\u00a0 The game was made by Alfa Systems, who is best known for the Castle Shikigami shooter series.\u00a0 Alfa hasn\u2019t made a new game in about ten years.\u00a0 I have to wonder what these video game companies do in between long stretches like that!<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sisters Royale is rated T for Teen with ESRB descriptors of Fantasy Violence and Suggestive Themes.\u00a0 You do shoot pretty much anything that moves, but defeated enemies just explode or disappear into sparkles when defeated.\u00a0 Some of the sisters wear revealing outfits, but most of the sexual themes are in the text only.\u00a0 Because of the high difficulty involved, I\u2019d say it\u2019s best for older gamers anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
