Various attack methods
There are three types of attacks in the game: normal attack, Shikigami attack and special attack.
Normal attack (shooting)
A fast-fired attack.Since you can attack a large range, you can ensure your safety by focusing on attacks.
In addition, when the tension reward system reaches maximum, the normal attack will become a high tension attack, and the shooting speed and power will be increased.
Shikigami Attack
The character moves slowly during the attack, but this attack will automatically collect the dropped gold coins.
Special Attacks
That is, bombs.You can use all the bombs you have and the character will become invincible when used.
Tension reward system
The unique system of "Shiji Castle" is often called T.B.S.
When you destroy an enemy, you will receive a reward if the enemy or enemy bullets approach your character's center (hit judgment).
The closer you hit the enemy bullet, the more rewards you get, you can get up to 8 times the rewards.The points obtained through normal attacks will increase, and the number of gold coins obtained through Shikigami attacks will increase significantly.
High tension MAX system
New features to satisfy your endless passion for shooting games!
The system consumes a special attack to activate, and the character will have a brief invincibility state when activated.
A red metering bar will be displayed at the top of the screen for a certain period of time until the metering bar is consumed.During this time, "T.B.S. judged that it will always remain at 8 times (≈ always in high tension shooting state)" and "the number of gold coins that appear will increase by 1.5 times".
