TriggerHeart Exelica Enhanced

TriggerHeart Exelica Enhanced is a shooter in which you control a character and track your score, lives, bombs and collected items. Being hit by a bullet costs one life; if you are hit with no lives remaining, the game ends. Collecting items adds to your total points for the level, which affects both your score after the level and the difficulty of the boss fight. Power-ups increase firepower by one, score items add to your score, and bomb items restore bombs, up to a maximum of six.

Playable characters

Alongside Exelica and Cruelica, you can play as Faintia, who has been redesigned for Enhanced. Her special laser supports sustained attacks, and her attack style differs slightly from those of Exelica and Cruelica.

Game modes

Arcade mode adds Faintia’s short story and ending. Its scoring differs from the arcade mode of Trigger Heart Exelica: using an Anchor Shoot to destroy an enemy no longer changes the score multiplier.

Enhanced story mode presents a story through approximately 70 still illustrations with full voice. The illustrations are high-resolution. The game also includes a fully animated opening movie produced by P.A.WORKS, with the theme song “GRAVITY ERROR,” sung by Ayane.

Rankings and training

Steam-specific online rankings include a separate ranking for Faintia. The game also has a training mode and supports vertical-screen play in arcade mode only.
