LUCREZIA
CV:井口 裕香
A seventeen-year-old girl from the royal family. Her nickname is Luc. Her personality is bright and straightforward, with no hidden intentions. She is also a genius with magic swords.
Since her style of combat resembles a whirlwind of flames, the Queen scolded her for being so reckless while also bestowing upon Luc the title of Vermilion Whirlwind.
Her sense of justice is her own enemy, and she often causes trouble for others. However, she always ends up making everyone happy. She began to part her long hair in two when she was five, ever since her childhood friend Fran started looking after her. She keeps the fact that it had been Fran's hairstyle first a secret.
FRANCESCA
CV:藤村 歩
A student of the knight house Shelta. Her nickname is Fran. A childhood friend to Luc since they were born. However, her attitude began to change in her mid-teens...
Ever since they were set up to fight in a join combat trial at the Nito Towers, she talks to Luc in prickly tones no matter what.
Genius, reticent, passive, and pure. Her personality unfortunately causes those around her to affectionately call her Princess, but she doesn't like being called that because it's embarrassing.
KATERINA
CV:照井 春佳
The younger sister of the Queen, but she cannot get used to the virtuous, elegant world of nobility.
She's not very good at making light conversation with girls her age, nor does she enjoy eating sweet candies in the school dorm. She much prefers talking to old people and shamans from other countries. She has some weird hobbies.
She doesn't know it herself, but she is also quite heroic, willing to throw herself at the bad guys threatening people she meets on her adventures in order to save them. Eventually she nears the truth behind the great incident foretold to be the end of the Queendom...
SARA-ANNIKA
CV:明坂 聡美
A black-haired girl hailing from Niyan, a country made up of many islands, far to the east of the Irance Queendom. Her father is an instructor in the ways of the sword and shamanic practices, and works as the Queen's teacher. She has rare talents as a shaman herself, but she is barely aware of that fact. Because she has difficulty talking to those unlike herself, she was treated by the other female students as almost a mystical being.
She felt lonely on the inside because of this, but when the seven-year-old Katerina treated her as a best friend from the moment they met, without viewing her differently from anyone else, it saved her from that.

its nice cute game
but sadly they didnt give free upgrade for owners for the new version :(
I really only play the story modes/campaigns in games, which is all I've played here. This game's "story mode" is 15 minutes max. Or rather, that's how long you have to beat it.
The gameplay is okay, but has some weird way to use your "weapons" which is not explained to you at all. I had to search the internet to find out how, and would have required me to reconfigure all my controls to make it work effectively, if I cared enough to do so. I expect that if I played this game for more than 10 minutes, the gameplay would become very tiresome and repetitive.
There are some other modes which is really the bulk of the game. Survival mode, challenge mode, stuff like that. I imagine that's how you unlock the other girl you can play as. I wasn't impressed with the gameplay enough to try out any of these other modes, not with a backlog that can fill the Grand Canyon anyway.
Oh, and it took me a while to find this in my steam library, because I made the mistake of looking in the "C's". It is now in the "O's" because someone thought it a good idea to put "Old Edition" before the actual title of the game.
Silly me for expecting a free upgrade to the new edition, whatever that is. Gotta buy the game all over again, and for more money if I want to play that.
Nah, I'll pass.
If you like arcade hack'n'slash with all its modes and whatnot, this might be for you, or I guess really the new edition might be fore you, otherwise, I'd stay away
Dropped support for the old version, wont give a free upgrade to new, old version hardly functions anymore
Support for this version got dropped and they re-released it with DLC attached. No free upgrade or discount for owners of this original so you have to buy the game all over again to get a supported version. Trash dev + publisher don't support them.
For what it's worth, Croixleur Sigma provides an experience with a simple combat system that also contains a good amount of depth. Don't let the aesthetic fool you, there's a good amount of depth put into the combat system that shouldn't go unappreciated.
I can't harp on the negatives of this title too much as it's made by a doujin group, but my main criticisms are the fact that it's too short and lacks content, compared to the newly released and superior Croixleur Sigma release on the Switch and PS4.
It's on sale for less than 3 dollars at the time of this review before it gets pulled from Steam, but I'd honestly pay $8-$15 for the amount of work and polish put into it by this small developer. If you want a relatively mindless hack-and-slash with a cute aesthetic and hot anime girls, I definitely recommend this one.
Two words: Extremely Repetitive.
The screen shots are literally the whole game. You can play two different characters, and they each have their own skill set and attack differently. The game is rather fast paced, however once you learn the basic enemy AI pattern it's not too difficult, which is kind of a good thing because you'll be fighting the same 10 enemies (maybe 15 total including the bosses) for the whole game in a circle arena.
The arena never changes either, it's literally always a circle you run around in. See those screenshots? That is every single level, with a slight paint job. The story is just filler to get you to the next level. Might be better with friends? But even then you'll get bored pretty fast.
A nice cute hack and slash game, with really poor story, but still enjoyable.
Pros:
+ variety of weapons and special attacks is quite high.
+ has race against time, survival and casual game modes, for continuation of entertainment, after finishing the main story.
+ has achievements.
+ in a way offers choices while going thro main story, in a way, as only thing it changes is mob count and dus the exp amount you will get.
+ has three ending options.
Cons:
- monster variety, if you exclude different level mobs and elite/boss mobs, only 3 different mobs which gives little challenge after first few levels, as their pattern and movement is easy to read.
- story is near to non, which is really disappointing
-controls on keyboard, hard to use even as much as 50% of potential combat ability.
Conclusion:
= typical hack and slash, with little story to back it up. In terms of combat, I'd say its qualifying to be a casual hack and slash, worth the money it costs.
Little summary:
> The story is of two girls going through examination in a tower, where they need to fight against monsters and from time to time with each other. During gameplay you unlock multiple different weapons and in total two playable characters. Multiple different stages in high score braking session and story mode. I personally recommend it, as it has its niche, that makes it nice, or is it just me being loli fan. :D
Croixleur Sigma is two things. It's a pretty neat and enjoyable, if shallow, arena action game that you'll probably burn out on if you spend too much time playing. It is also a game where you play as a gay sword magician girl with twin tails. The decision of whether or not to buy this game is in your hands, I am simply relaying the facts.
One of the first single player games to strongly challenge me in a very long time (Fran). For the price you can't beat some great hack n' slash gameplay from Croixleur Sigma.
PLOT: Lucrezia wants to take a bath with Francesca. Franny is all "NO WAY IN HELL" and runs off to a massive tower(paging Dr. Freud). Luc has to fight through a dozen or so floors of goblins, flying eyeballs, knights in shining armor, and huge beasts to drag Fran's sorry butt into the tub.
Okay I forgot the actual plot to this game. I assure you all that there is one and it's kinda-sorta-quasi-serious. But who cares about that nonsense? This is a supplemental-arcade-arena-slashemup. If you have less than 15 minutes to spare you can complete a play-through of this game. Yes, this game is a short one, but it's pretty sweet. There are no crazy mission designs, no escorting, no stealth, nothing but just slashing through hundreds of generic foes and grabbing coins.
Before the game starts you decide on your arsenal. There are 10 weapons per gal and they all have their own special moves. Basically you want a combination of weapons that suit your play-style. Special moves can be chained for more damage, and some are only effective in mid-air, or as anti-air (gotta account for the flying eyes). Don't fuss over your style rating though, this game rewards speed and efficiency above everything else. Yellow enemies drop in a single hit, blues go down in three, and reds take 4+. Once you memorize the basics all you have to worry about is dashing around and mopping everything up.
There are a variety of modes, but variety is a rather strong word when it comes to Croixleur.
Story - Kill Everything As Fast As Possible. Lots of plot and talks about baths.
Time Attack - KEAFAP in 3 minutes
Survival - KEAFA you want. Expect to see huge crowds of enemies.
Challenge - Definitely KEAFAP.
Bonus - This is the epilogue. Luc & Fran team up to bring the hurt on slightly tougher enemies. Don't forget to KEAFAP.
For the most part Croixleur Sigma is a fast-paced and satisfying slasher. The controls are fluid enough and it's fun zipping around shredding everything. However there are some issues that I have with the game.
Certain moves have weak properties. One of the specials Luc can perform is a downward stab that causes a large shockwave. However, that shockwave is mostly for looks and only hits enemies that are practically under Luc. This tends to be the case with a number of special moves. They look like they should hit because you see the flashy trails and pretty lights connect with enemies, but instead they miss completely. It's...well not really that big an issue. I mean, it's not like it's inconsistent or anything. It would be much worse if the moves hit only some of the time.
Anti-cooperative play. When Luc & Fran team up, it spells trouble...for Luc & Fran. You have to give your BFF plenty of breathing space or she will hit you with her regular and special attacks (and vice-versa). This doesn't do any damage, but it will stun you, and can throw your rhythm off as well as waste time. Maybe the developer thought it would be too easy if this wasn't the case. Luc & Fran could just throw those special moves out constantly and be a whirling dervish of destruction. I disagree. Croixleur Sigma plays up the bestest buddies element, but then implements a design-decision that causes real-world friends to fight? That is a definite head-scratcher. Also during the bonus mode the game only ends when player 1 dies. Player 2 can die as many times as they like. This is something I abused for the cheap final battle.
Croixleur Sigma is like I said, a supplemental game. You play this title alongside your "main" game, or when you absolutely must play something, and don't have much time. It's not a deep game though, not even in terms of game-design depth. If Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae complements games like Devil May Cry and Metal Gear Rising, this game is best played alongside Dynasty Warriors. When you want a dumb 5-minute slashathon, but don't want to run around huge maps and listen to a bunch of talk about Three Kingdoms and whatever whatever, then play this game.
This game makes no attempts to hide what it is: a series of rooms where you beat up monsters. The combo system is a bit shallow until you start unlocking weapons to round out your repertoire. Even with a weapon to give you a launcher or a dashing attack, your base combo never changes much.
Most of your enjoyment will come from what you can get out of score chasing the highest combo by abusing the mechanics as far as you can, such as chaining combos together by stringing them together with dash cancels and AoE sweeps. But for a game that promises just a great action-fighting experience, I believe it delivers.
This is a hack n slash I received through a humble bundle i purchased a while ago. I would say that the story is extremely thin, the game can be beat in a few hours, and the levels/environments don't really change much. Its fun to play if you just want to klil some time, but its not a game that I am looking forward to hopping on as soon as i get home from work. If you can get it for like 3 dollars I'd say its worth.
+ Various modes of play to explore, though nothing particularly innovative
+ Includes a collection of challenges to complete, and bonuses to unlock
+ The system for unlocking weapons makes for great combos that are fun to use
+ Time attack and survival modes help to buff up replay value
+ Fluid, intuitive combat system
- Unplayable without a controller; the controller setup, too, was an absolute nightmare (I spent over an hour on help forums to finally get the game to recognize my controller past the keybinding setup screen)
- Even for an indie game, the graphics were very, very poor for a game in 2014
- Story mode is incredibly short (~10-15 minutes), placing heavy emphasis on the few other gamemodes for (somewhat) forced replayability
- Plot was generic and uninspired; the game's narrative took a complete back-seat to the gameplay, and felt almost "painted on"

The question we must ask when buying a game like this is how much value are we getting for our money? The answer to that is, a 10 minute Story mode. It will than take about 3 minutes to complete all the "challenges" and than another 3 minutes to do a run through Score Attack mode. After that all there is to do is play Survival Mode over and over again and there really isn't much fun in that.
There is hardly much of a game here and for the full price of $8 this is pretty pathetic. You can experience the game in it's entirety in less than 20 minutes. About 3 standard enemy types and 3 boss types, all of which can be killed individually in less than 5 seconds. This is probably the easiest arena fighter i've played before.
Oh and one more thing, Local Co-op? I don't think so. The current steam version does not contain the required Setup.exe to set the controls for Player 2, so without that you cannot play Co-op. If you manage to track down that file (which I did) you can experience Survival Mode and Score Attack mode with another player, as they walk off the screen or kill you with their special attacks.
You are much better off buying any other game, as there are a lot of better action games for the same price or less. Hell there are even tons of better free games. Don't waste your money on this. I would say time but even if you buy it, you won't be spending much time with it anyway.
It's unfortunate though, the combat system is solid and the assets are nice, there could've been a fun game here if it tried but with such an insultingly small amount of content, this is shorter than most demo's.
I bought this game on a whim when it was on sale because I'm a gigantic weeaboo fagget
My penor was pleased.
Skipping straight to the story:
You start as Lucrezia Visconti, who has a typical anime character design except her twintails seem to be gradient coloured and she's not a tsundere (HOLY SHIET!), in some weird ass tower that I forgot the name of (if it ever had one) that she has to complete to become the strongest knight or something.
THE CLOCK IS TICKING AND YOU MUST REACH THE TOP OF THE TOWER TO BECOME THE VERY BEST. How do you do that? Of course you kill goblins, flying eyes, huge demons, paladins and DRAGONS a la fast paced Hack 'n' Slash gameplay with your multitude of weapons that you acquire from progressing in said tower.
Jokes on you, the story doesn't matter at all in this game, it's the gameplay.
Just like any other hack and slash game you must whack mobs as fast as you can (or as stylishly possible if you think you're in Devil May Cry) and rack up points while you avoid dying. It's quick and it's fun.
Controls are simple, you have an attack button, a jump button, dash and an invicibility special. They all do exactly what it says on the tin. There are no variations to basic attacks but the weapons you obtain all have different skills that you can combine in your 4 weapon slots to create cool and/or devastating combos.
Pretty OK replay value thanks to various weapons in other areas not visited before, challenges, a score attack mode and a survival mode. Controller is recommended.
tl;dr lesbian swordswomen racing to the top of a tower with fast paced combat that's both kawaii and kakkoi
10/10 would recommend to any bored weeaboo or hack and slash player, heck, any bored player
I get a lot of enjoyment out of this game. I would say that you should be very aware that it is a simple game, and if you expect extensive combos or anything such as that, you will be disappointed. Personally, I consider the game to be a nice way to kill some time. While some may not like that it is incredibly short, the appeal is that it does not require significant investment of time if you want to play. I found the story to be.....the story....I doubt it was ever meant to be the primary focus of the game. I would recommend this if you like trying to beat scores, and if you enjoy simple combat based on reflex and timing.
I get some significant screen tearing most of the time, but I have not personally experienced anything else in terms of issues; while annoying, I have not found that the tearing makes the game unplayable.
its a Hack & Slash, if you like them, and you like cute anime girls, its a win.
<3
i beat the story pretty fast, but when i tried the survival mode, i maybe lasted 10 min. its so intense and fun!! it has a high replay value for the time attack mode, and survival... XD and the story is adorable between the two girls.
def worth a grab on sale, or if you have the money snag it up not on sale. <3
Waste of my $4. The setting is cool, but it contains no plot progression, the monsters only become tankier instead of having unique&difficult to dodge attacks, and the boss is so easy to beat a 1 year old can beat it probably by bashing random keys.
It would have probably been a 10/10 game if it had a larger variation of monster types and better plot progression. Unfortunately, this isn't the case, so it deserves only a 6/10 imo.
Croixleur Sigma is an action game in the lines of Devil May Cry, simplified in a lot of aspects, but still presenting a lot of depth. It's the sort of game that's easy to learn and hard to master, offering a nice difficulty curve.
You face various sets of enemies coming in continuous waves in a circular arena, and the draw here is to become more efficient at speedily dispatching them. You're transferred to consecutive arenas with different sets of enemies and increasing difficulty, until getting to the last one, where you'll face the last boss.
There's a 15 minute time limit to go through these arenas and finish the main story. Each playthrough is short, so the experience never becomes repetitive or bothersome. This pacing makes sure that the game doesn't overstay its welcome. Surpassing your previous records is the aim every time you take the challenge again.
There are also a few extra game modes and various weapons (and a character) to unlock, to help keep the experience fresh. This game offers a surprisingly concise package in the sense that, if you're a completionist, the chalenge'll increase in such a smooth manner that you'll achieve mastery of the game precisely at the time where it runs out of content. It was a satisfying experience that deserved a hearty recommendation.
Croixleur Sigma is a great fast-paced hack and slash dungeon crawler game. With the best of two worlds; The anime-Moe style with hack and slash spellcasting action (Which has a slight distinction with Devil May Cry). My only gripe is the story is way too short (like 5-10 minutes each character story). But the other modes such as Survival (My Favourite), or time Attack Attack (Point) mode adds more playability in the game.
If you love hack and slash dungeon crawlers or a fan of the anime style genre this game is a must. I give this game a 8.2/10. Now only if the price was 2 bucks lower then I would've given an 9
Croixleur Sigma is an arcade hack n slash featuring two adorable main characters named Lucrezia and Francesca.
I would strongly recommend a controller for this game. And locking the game to 60 fps in the configuration tool to avoid breaking the game completely.(Very high fps speeds the game up, making it impossible to play.)
Although the game is very short it has a ton of replay value with all the different game modes, which are: Story Mode, Arcade Mode, Score Attack, Survival, 30 different challenges and an extra Bonus Mode that unlocks after you complete the Story Mode under a certain time with each character.
The main focus of this game is to kill every enemy in each of the levels until you advance to the next level, while doing it as fast and efficiently as possible to get the best time possible. Every level also increases the difficulty slightly with tougher monsters, and every 5 levels they throw a boss creature into the mix as well.
Different modes such as Score Attack works a little differently, you get 3 minutes to achieve the highest score possible.
Survival is exactly what you would expect, survive for as long as possible and kill as many enemies as you can.
Arcade Mode gives you the option to play through the Story Mode levels without any story scenes for nonstop killing.
And finally Bonus Mode, a continuation of the story with more levels and tougher enemies.
While playing through Story Mode you will unlock more weapons, each with different stats and special attacks. Think of each weapon as a different move, you can hold up to 4 weapons at a time to build any combo you would like. Oh and the more you use a weapon the higher level it becomes!
The graphics may not be the most impressive but I think it fits the game very well. The gameplay however is amazing, it made me want to get better and improve after every time I fell in battle and lost some unnecessary time. While the soundtrack did not blow me away I think it accompanies the gameplay really well.
I had a lot of fun trying to complete all the achievements, it added many extra hours to the game as well as giving me some goals to achieve while playing.
If you are in it only for the story (which is not much) then this game is probably not for you. However, if you are looking to complete most of the achievements in the game and wondering how long it would take, expect around 12 hours. That is how long it took me to finish everything.
It's a pretty solid game, so if it looks interesting to you I would definitely recommend picking it up!
Devil May Kawaii?
Croixleur Sigma, aside from being really hard to pronounce, is a fun hack 'n' slash style game in the vein of Devil May Cry. You can take your time going up the tower and get an ending, but to really get the whole story you have to do it quick and in one life. All the challenge maps and a never-ending mode give this weird little treasure a ton of replayability. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to slay monsters even quicker. See you at the top.
