    A fun little bullet hell that has a ton of replay value and a charming visual appeal. Quite an approachable entry for those daunted by other shoot ‘em ups with a scoring system that rewards skill.

    Sisters Royale is a fun and amusing bullet hell title that offers up some solid arcade action, but little else. The specific anime styling will either draw you in or put you off (you know what I mean), but the light-hearted tale will likely win over even the most prudish players. Some online leader boards or alternate modes wouldn’t have gone amiss, but even so I still think Sisters Royale is worth a look if you’re into, or curious about, the bullet hell genre.

    It is a game for a specific audience that likes to play alone or in company and enjoy this type of mechanics as well as its particular aesthetics.

    Sisters Royale offers a decent challenge with its multiple difficulties, but a very short runtime, no unlockables and lack of any progression makes it hard to recommend other than to die hard shmup fans like myself. You’re encouraged to chase for those high scores, yet there’s no online leaderboards to strive towards or show off with. Sisters Royale is a short lived experience that was fun for a couple hours, but that’s about it, even after seeing each sister’s story to conclusion.

    This is as average as shmups get, and the whole set-up and premise is far too silly to the point where it blurs the line of being a parody of itself.

    If you’re a hardcore shoot ’em up fan and are desperate for something new to play, Sisters Royale: Five Sisters Under Fire might scratch that itch. For a little while, anyway. Its gameplay is fine, but it doesn’t attempt to further the genre or do anything new in any way. Sure, it packs in a story, but its groanworthy quality perhaps detracts from the overall experience somewhat. It’s fun enough while it lasts, but there are plenty of other shmups out there that offer a much better experience than Sisters Royale, so we recommend you go for one of those instead.

    Sisters Royale : I'm assuming that everyone is a little bit familiar with the shoot 'em up game genre. The games that you are keep shootingSisters Royale : I'm assuming that everyone is a little bit familiar with the shoot 'em up game genre. The games that you are keep shooting and shooting until end of the level, this game is that game combined with anime style and kawaii girls I'm so confused. I myself not really big fan of this game since I'm more addicted to original shmup games but the upgrades your getting and the bosses you got to kill is pretty interesting on Sister's Royale. In Sisters Royale, we’re treated to five different, stereotypical tropes in these characters, and each has their own take and branching ideology moving forward. You'll get the story right after you start to play so I don't wanna give spoilers but let's pro and cons. So the game has smooth visual performance which makes it easier to play less tiring for your eyes. Selma's swords are fun and unique. Comprehensive user interface with screen rotation and custom controls. But on the other hand the graphics look like a game from a Playstation one game and controls are laggy which makes aiming quite frustrating. it's really hard to aim to where you want until you get used to the controls. Couple more tiny issues but this'll be all for now we will follow the further updates and see if any patches or DLC come to fruition in the future.… Expand
