Overview
About this game
"Castle of Shikigami III" is a PC port of the third game in the Shikigami Castle series, which first hit arcades in 2006.
Game Overview
A culmination of character shooting games set in a unique worldview!
A wide variety of newly added playable characters!
Supports online rankings and various achievements!
Controls
Control the character with an 8-way lever and 2 buttons (shot, bomb).
Character Selection
Players select one of several characters with different normal attacks, shikigami attacks, special attacks, and movement speeds.
You can also choose between the first and second types of attack, which have different performance for each character, allowing for a variety of attack methods.
You can also play with two players. (Supports remote play together! Challenge with shikigami users from around the world!)
Each character has their own backstory, and a story demo is inserted immediately after starting play and before and after the start of the stage.
In addition, when playing with two players, the story and scenario change depending on the combination of characters selected.
Various Attacks
There are three types of attacks: normal attacks, shikigami attacks, and special attacks.
Normal Attacks (Shots)
A rapid-firing attack. Since it can attack a relatively wide area, you can ensure your own safety by focusing on this in battle.
Also, when the Tension Bonus System is at its maximum, it becomes a high tension attack, and the firing speed and power increase.
Shikigami Attack
In exchange for a slower movement speed during the attack, this attack automatically collects the coins that appear.
Special Attack
A so-called bomb. You can use as many bullets as you have, and your ship becomes invincible while using it.
Tension Bonus System
A system unique to "Castle of Shikigami," commonly known as T.B.S.
You can get a bonus if you destroy an enemy when the enemy or enemy bullet is close to the center of your ship (hit detection).
The closer the hit detection is to the enemy bullet, etc., the more bonus you can get, up to a maximum of 8 times. The points you get with a normal attack increase, and the number of coins that appear increases even more with a Shikigami attack.
High Tension MAX System
Equipped with a new function that satisfies your insatiable passion for shooting games!
A system that consumes one special attack to activate. There is a short period of invincibility when activated. A red gauge will be displayed at the top edge of the screen for a certain period of time, and until it runs out, "T.B.S. judgment will always be 8 times (≒ always in a high-tension shot state)" and "the amount of coins appearing will be 1.5 times."
