Rosenkreuzstilette is an action-platformer game in which you step into the shoes of Spiritia Rosenberg, a virtuous young woman caught on the wrong side of a revolution instigated by her closest friends. Each of the game's seventeen stages is filled with treacherous terrain and swarms of enemies ready to make quick work of our plucky young heroine. Guide Spiritia safely to the boss at the end of each stage and use all of the abilities at your disposal to knock some sense into them.


Upon defeating a boss for the first time, Spiritia may acquire a new magical ability or two. There are plenty of unique abilities scattered throughout the game, and some of them can make particularly troublesome areas much easier to navigate. Each boss is especially vulnerable to certain abilities, so learning to pinpoint and exploit these weaknesses is bound to make defeating them a lot less painful (for you, not them).


Having recently completed a six-month-long teaching assignment for the Holy Empire, Spiritia Rosenberg was anxious to return home to her friends and get some well-deserved rest.


Unfortunately, her homecoming would not be the warm welcome she had expected. As Spiritia returned to the Imperial Training Grounds, a monstrous dragon appeared and whisked away her student Iris, the daughter of the esteemed Count Michael Zeppelin. Moments later, flames engulfed the training grounds and its surroundings, ruthlessly consuming everything in their wake. With no time to lose, Spiritia and her fairy companion Lilli rushed into the burning forest in pursuit.

Making her way through the roaring flames, Spiritia was overjoyed to find her best friend, the cool and collected Freudia Neuwahl, already on the scene. However, her joy quickly turned to horror as she learned the identity of the arsonists; her own organization of magicians, Rosenkreuzstilette, with Freudia herself leading the assault.

Freudia informed Spiritia of the unit's decision to rise against the injustices fostered by the Empire, inviting her to rejoin their comrades as they declared war on mankind. Not one to tolerate the suffering of innocents, Spiritia refused - and vowed to stop her comrades from making a senseless and deadly mistake.

Join Spiritia in her quest to stop Rosenkreuzstilette, a company of rogue magicians led by Count Zeppelin himself. A squad composed entirely of Spiritia's dearest friends...

Think of replays as video recordings of your game sessions that play within the game itself. If you are having trouble with a particular stage or boss, studying a replay can help you recognize different ways of approaching a situation and allow you to figure out enemy attack patterns. You can also use replays to share particularly impressive playthroughs with your friends or to point out the locations of the many secrets hidden throughout the world of Rosenkreuzstilette.

To save a replay, select “Save Replay & Quit” from the Password Screen that appears after a Game Over or completing a stage. Alternatively, you can press the Pause button and select “Save Replay & Quit” from the Pause Menu to save a replay at any time. Selecting this option will end the current game and display the Save Replay Menu. This menu will appear automatically after you have completed the final stage, allowing you to save a replay of the entire game. Select an empty slot and you will be prompted to enter a name of up to 8 characters long. Once you have entered your name, select “Save” and your replay will be saved for posterity.
Replay files are saved to the game's "replay" subfolder and are automatically named in sequential order ("rks001.rpy", "rks002.rpy", "rks003.rpy", and so on).

Rosenkreuzstilette reviews and comments

Translated by
Microsoft from Deutsch
My Conclusion of the Game is below, if the detailed Text here is too long, and you roughly want to have the Strengths and Weaknesses of the Game listed. Plot "Rose Cross Style" or "RKS" FOR short, is the Association of Magicians who serve the Kingdom. But one Day the Kingdom is under attack and it turns out RKS are the Aggressors. Spiritia Rosenberg-himself a Member of RKS-cannot believe this and decides to stop RKS on his own, as well as to take its Leader to Task. In itself, the Plot is light fare, which is also due to the relatively simple Nature of the Game. It is not bad, but it is also not essential. In the End, there's a little Twist, but it doesn't really rip you off the Stool. But it is quite recognizable as a Tribute to Mega Man 4. However, If you don't Feel like messing with Things like a Story, you can also play arcade mode, where all Dialogues are skipped. Gameplay Rose Cross Style is a Mega Man clone. After the optional Prologue level, you get into the Level Selection screen, in which you can see an eight Bosses whose Level you can complete in any Order. As befit all Levels are themed. At the End of each Level, you face a Boss, a Member of RKS. Once defeated, it is given its Special Ability. Each Boss is vulnerable to someone else's Special Ability. The Degree of difficulty varies, but in principle it is quite high. You will fail a few Times until you have mastered a Level. In This respect, being a Veteran of the Mega Man franchise can't hurt. Atmosphere Rose Cross style presents itself in a chic anime look, at least as far as the Characters are concerned. The Levels are elaborate and detailed, mainly based on Gothic Architecture. The Soundtrack is another great Strength of the Game, because it sounds fantastic and is still versatile. Depending on the Situation, it creates a Feeling of Lightheartedness, Tension or the End Time mood. There are Also countless Allusions to other Video Game series, mainly Mega Man, but others are also represented, such as Castlevania or Bomberman. Some are obvious, others a little more subtle. And as a Local, the German Terms, of which there are a Lot in the Game, made me smile. Verdict/TL; DR Fans of the Mega Man range and Anime will love Rose cross styles. Plot and Gameplay are strongly reminiscent of the blue Bomber's Adventures and are presented in pretty anime style. A fantastic and versatile Soundtrack knows how to stage every Situation accordingly. In this Respect, I can only recommend Rose Cross style from the above target Group.
