Finsternis Kreuz

Finsternis Kreuz is a horizontal-scrolling action game in which Alexandra, a girl who can create swords from thin air, fights vampires. Her brother Lucius, a member of the vampire-subjugation corps, disappeared on the battlefield, leaving behind a sword. Alexandra takes up the fight to search for him, using the sword’s ability to create weapons through her “emptiness sword style.”

Combat and upgrades

Combat uses two main attack buttons. You can repeatedly press an attack button to move and attack, and absorb power by directing attacks at enemies and bullets. This strengthens the player; maintaining the reinforced dual-wielding form lets you drain enemies. After completing a stage, you can aim for an S rank on every stage.

The vampire war

Vampires, once known only through tradition, suddenly appear and attack humanity. Ordinary attacks cannot defeat them, and the vampires also command beasts they have created. Lucius crafts a devil sword from a vampire’s tusk to protect his friends and family. It can take energy from a partner and embody that partner’s abilities, giving humanity a chance against the vampires. Lucius disappears during the fighting, leaving the sword behind for Alexandra.
