About This Game

In 2006, a "twisted castle" suddenly appeared in the sky above Tokyo. A variety of stories unfolded around the god-hunting armaments housed in this gigantic castle. Now, the second installment of the dramatic shooter that gained popularity in the arcades is on Steam with +α elements!

Game Overview

Players choose one of seven (+1?) characters, each with different unique abilities, and use their shots, special Shikigami attack, and bombs to destroy the enemy. The unique backgrounds of each character is intricately intertwined, creating an engaging and multifaceted story.


.

In between each of the 5 stages, different demos (stories) will be played for each character, and when playing with two players, a completely different story will unfold depending on the combination of characters used, all of which are fully voiced by Japanese voice actors.

New Features

New Entry Mode
Revamped enemy placement in all stages, lots of changes that will surprise even the most experienced players!



Brand New Translation
We know everyone has been waiting for this!



Dramatic Change Mode
Operates with 1P switching between characters, and you get the same demo as when played two player!



  • Enjoy the storyline with the different personalities of each of the seven (+1?) main characters!
  • Fight using three types of attack methods: normal attack, shikigami attack, and special attack
