An English fan translation patch (primarily compatible with v1.05c) is available here. It also has a small, but growing English-speaking community. While not terribly complicated, it features cutscenes and boss dialogue that establishes an original fantasy setting with defined personalities for the cast that's more than just an excuse to shoot lemons at enemies, though Arcade Mode will skip these if the player prefers a more traditional playthrough. The plot is also surprisingly fleshed out for the genre. The game is notable for having sufficiently original art and music to distinguish itself from other Mega Man clones, as well as toning down the Nintendo Hard difficulty typically associated with them. Rosenkreuzstilette (meaning "Rose Cross Stilettos", alternatively translated as "Blades of the Rose Cross" by the fan translation) is a doujin platformer made by that is heavily inspired by the classic Mega Man series, with the graphical and gameplay improvements from the Mega Man X and Mega Man Zero series, with gothic music and backgrounds influenced by Castlevania and Fate/stay night thrown in for a good measure. Spiritia, aided by Lilli, takes it upon herself to quell the rebellion alone, rescue Iris, and restore peace. She then witnesses Iris being kidnapped by the dragon Talos and sees the Black Forest burned down, and is shocked when her closest friend and fellow Magus, Freudia Neuwahl, told her that Micheal ordered both acts. Spiritia Rosenberg, a member of RKS who was away when the order was issued, returns home with her fairy friend Lilli to the Imperial Training Hall and meets up with Iris, the Count's daughter. In time, history repeats itself, as the Commander of RKS, Count Michael Zeppelin, orders a strike against the Empire, fearing that the persecution of Magi is beginning again.
His dream, however, was achieved, as the Empire accepted Magi as a new branch of their military, called Rosenkreuzstilette, or RKS for short.īut tensions between humans and Magi still remained. The battle, which would later be called the Holy War, was long and epic, and cost Rosenkreuz his life. One man, a Magus by the name of Rosenkreuz, led eight disciples into a battle for their freedom and rights. In the past, the Holy Empire and Orthodox Church persecuted magic-users, or Magi, wherever they went.
