Kohtarou Kuga, Gennojo Hyuga, Roger Sasuke and two more familiar faces are joined by five new heroes in Arc Systems' latest edition of Shikigami no Shiro. One of the new characters is named Reika Kirishima, a 17 year-old with green hair who sort of looks like the Japanese actress whom the designers apparently named her after.Following the formula of previous release in the Shikigami series, the latest game features the "Tension Bonus System" which is a score multiplier that's triggered by way of close proximity to enemy bullets. Get grazed by buckshot and marvel as your points are increased by up to 8X depending on how skillful you are at deftly maneuvering and getting buzzed by oncoming fire. Near misses will also power up your weapon systems with a brief jolt. The Tension System wrinkles the gameplay in such a way as to behoove one to avoid but also draw towards bullets. Quite a conundrum. New to Shikigami III is the "Hi-Tension System" where unleashing a bomb triggers a temporary 8X multiplier.
In addition to the standard game option, players may enjoy the Dramatic Change Mode, the Boss Attack Mode, and a Practice Mode. There's also an Art Gallery, a Story Recollect section, and a Juke Box option to explore.
