Rosenkreuzstilette

Rosenkreuzstilette is a mega m*n clone game where Spiritia the protagonist of the game must stop her friends and the evil Graf Michael Sepperin in order to save the holy empire and the orthodox church. while the classic mega m*n franchise is the main imspiration behind the game other games like the mega m*n x and castl*vania franchises are used as inspiration as well like in enemy designs and locals. the graphics of the game is very good as it gives the various locals some pretty visuals and the various stages are animated as well. the character sprites are good as far as small chibi sprites go. the music in the game is fully of quality and they all fit nicely in the game. my favorite music track in the game is Luste Teuber's stage music, it is just awesome. the sound in the game as in the various sound effects and voice work is also good and I like that the characters says a line before the match begins and let out hurt noices when damaged, kind of like in mega m*n x4. the game controls well as it should so the player does not have to worry about any mishaps due to bad controls. the gameplay is standard mega m*n fun so if you played any of the nes mega m*n titles or the 9th and 10th version then you'll be right at home. the challenge level of the game is that it can get hard in certain places in the game with Freudia and Trauare being the two tough bosses out of the eight initial bosses before tracking through the last half of the game. also some of the stages will have some surprises. when you beat the game get a code that lets you play the game as Grolla who has to depend on up close which makes the game harder and she takes more damage from attacks than Spiritia. two other notes the game does not let you revisit areas beaten and the game uses a password system which means weapons obtained and bosses defeated will be saved but cross tanks and lives collected will not be saved. overall the game is an instant buy if you like mega m*n style games.

Rosenkreuzstilette is a game developed by erka:es that follows the same concept of M*ga Man 4,5,6 (Two forress stages and 8 bosses) and also throws a lot of references of the classic and X series along with other references most notably from Castl*vania.

Gameplay : Being a M*ga Man clone, Rosenkreuzstilette controls feel just the same. There are two modes you can choose: Story Mode and Arcade Mode. Story Mode shows conversation between the characters before and after a boss fight while Arcade is just the gameplay without text. Rosenkreuzstilette just like M*ga Man has a password system to save the game but fortress stages must be beaten in one setting since there is no password for them. The game is decently long and not too difficult if you use the boss weakness with Spiritia however there is another character in the game. Once you complete the game, there is a code that allows you to play as Grolla in this mode, you take double damage and obtain nothing from bosses which makes a pretty difficult mode. Armed with just her sword, she controls very similarly to Zero from the M*ga Man X series with the ability to dash and wall-jump. Finally, there is a replay option and it can be uploaded online for other people to see.

Story:
Spiritia: The people of RKS decided to start a war on the order of Michael Sepperin, the leader of the Organisation. RKS reclaim their independence against the Empire. Spiritia however doesn't agree and tries to stop her friends from all this madness.

Grolla: It is like Spiritia but the difference is that Grolla found out what Iris, the daughter of Michael was really up to and decided to kill her in order to stop the rebellion from happening.

Overall, Rosenkreuzstilette is a quality doujin clone of the M*ga Man series. I heavily recommend that you download it. Especially, for old school M*ga Man fans who want to play in a similar way of the classic series.

Rosenkreuzstilette for me gets an 8,5 out of 10.
