Introducing Rosenkreuzstilette F[sterblich]


Today, WOMI updated the [erka:es] devblog with a rather interesting download just below this charming picture of Freudia. If you have RKSF installed on your computer but want an extra challenge, download the .exe located just below the picture and place it in the same location as the main Freudenstachel files. It's the same old Freudenstachel, but now you start only with 1HP. Make any mistake and you're virtually done for. Couldn't get any more detailed than that. Life pellets, capsules, and Cross Tanks are eliminated, but in contrast, 1UPs are more common, and checkpoints are more plentiful. EDIT: Turns out there aren't any changes to the checkpoint system, they're all identical to the standard RKSF.

Oh, and there's a Weißsilber mode that plays under the same rules.

  1. I haven't heard of such masochism in a video game since Chocolate Secret.

    1. You might want to give Eryi's Action a try, then. If you're somehow not sure about the $4.99 price tag, there's a free demo version up for grabs. It's the kind of hilarious sadism we're used to seeing in Schwer's Stages.

      Justin, excellent reporting. I'm glad to see you're making the most of your new position.

      A language rule to keep in mind: when you can't type a German sharp S (ß) for whatever reason (ie: your Character Map isn't working), you're supposed to substitute two standard S's instead ("Weisssilber"). This is an official rule of the German language. Similarly, if you can't use an umlaut (ie: "Silberflügel"), follow the vowel with a single E ("Silberfluegel").

    2. Thank you for the complement, TDOMMX. I went and fixed the B into a ß.

  2. In other words: RKSF -Royally Boned Edition-.

  5. Having finishing it not long ago, the bit where it mentions extra checkpoints is incorrect, there aren't any extra at all. Extra lives are definitely my common though, about the same drop rate as large Life pellets.

    1. Well, I mentioned the bit about extra checkpoints because I thought I saw one added in Liebea's stage. Turns out that checkpoint is also present in the standard version. I'll go and take it out of the post.

  6. So this is the first official game mod made for the Rosenkreuzstilette franchise... wow. Just. WOW.

    And by the way, I wonder if WOMI might make more mods for the game in the future, maybe even making new mods to make the Rosenkreuz bosses (the initial 8 bosses) and the other 3 Schwarzkreuz bosses (the bosses fought after the Rosenkreuz bosses but before the fortress bosses) playable...?
