The high speed, hack and slash arcade action game Croixleur Sigma is out on Steam today.
Croixleur Sigma is similar to Devil May Cry’s Bloody Palace and also reminds me of the cult-classic Bayonetta. You play as Lucrezia Visconti, and Francesca Storaro in co-op and their task is to battle their way to the top of a tower through floors of monsters in a ritual known as ‘the Adjuvant Trial’.

You start your journey in the lowest level against weak enemies which can be destroyed in one or two hits. As you progress through the floors you encounter stronger enemies and bosses. Along the way you find new swords which give more damage and special abilities. Attacks and specials can be combined for some devastating chains and working them out is just as fun as using them!
I spent a bit of time with the game and enjoyed it a lot. The design of the game works well as quick five minute blow out or a longer more strategic game where you can sit down and master your attacks. As well as the story mode there are Score Attack, Survival, Challenge, and Bonus modes. Here are some of the features:
- 5 modes of blistering pace 60 FPS hack-&-slash arcade action!
- 2 playable characters – play as either Lucrezia Visconti or Francesca Storaro!
- Take on the Adjuvant Trial in Story Mode with separate stories and multiple endings for both characters!
- Test your mettle and hone your skills in Score Attack, Survival, Challenge, and Bonus modes!
- A well-featured combo system including move canceling, attack collisions, invincible dashing and action locks!
- 20 weapons to collect, each with a unique special attack! Pick the load-out that suits your fighting style and the battle ahead!
- 42 in-game achievements, Steam Trading Cards, and online leaderboards!
- Local 2 player co-op! Take on the monster hordes with a friend in Dramatic Battle mode!
